steering shaft

Hey guys, I am just wondering if there has been a TSB regarding problems with the intermediate steering shaft and the resulting "clunking" associated with its degredation. If there has been one, I need to print that **** off and rub my service dept managers nose in it. I have used the search button, but as stated by people in the past, it sucks! thanks!

Thanks man, but that is for an 07..... I am sure its the same part # but I need something to show the service guys. I have warrenty for another 700 kms or so, and I want it fixed before it goes over. my dealership is already sick of seeing my car. last week they put the second set of pads and rotors on the front, the THIRD set of pads and rotors on the back, both end links, sway bar bushings for left and right, started the process for my powersteering motor recall, AND replaced a delaminating SS badge for good measure! ALL WARRENTY WORK! I think the general is losing money on my car!

EDIT: My car only has 38,000 kms on it!!!! thats only about 24,000 miles for the Americans reading this.

my dealership probably hates me too...they wouldnt fix my bumper/headlight lineup issue because they said the supports are broke

how the **** do they know this without taking the bumper off? and there is a G5 and a cobalt with the same issue for sale on their lot

ive had my column replaced once already and its doing the rattling again
