IN FEBRUARY 2010, I STARTED TO NOTICE A CLICKING NOISE IN THE FRONT WHEEL OF MY 2005 SILVERADO. WHILE RETURNING FROM FLORIDA THE NOISE INCREASED AND THE RIGHT FRONT HUB BEARING FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 32,000 FOR $500. APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS LATER, THE LEFT SIDE FAILED AND THE DEALER REPLACED IT AND I HAD TO PAY $100. DURING THE SUMMER THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $120. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME STIFF. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF; UPON RESTART, THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONED PROPERLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT ALL OF THE STEERING MECHANISMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

MY 2005 CHEVY SILVERADO HAD A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE STEERING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT BUT THIS DIDN'T FIX IT. THIS WENT ON FOR MONTHS. JUST PRIOR TO THE WARRANTY RUNNING OUT I CONVINCED THE DEALERS MECHANIC THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE RACK-N-PINION ASSEMBLY. THEY REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. *TR

CHEVY HAS A RECALL #05010 ON THE SECONDARY STEERING SHAFT FOR THE 2005 SILVERADO 1500 SERIES TRUCK. MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER DIAGNOSED MY TRUCK AS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT SINCE THE VIN CODE DID NOT MATCH THEIR RECALL I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. TRUCK HAS 41000 MILES AND HAS 100,000 POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. I CONTACTED CHEVY CORP CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY AGREED TO PAY FOR THE PART BUT NOT THE LABOR.(87.50). TO ME THIS SHOWS CHEVY DOES RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM BUT NOT WILLING TO OWN UP FOR ALL THE REPAIR COST..THIS I CONSIDER TO UNJUST AND THINK THE SHOULD PAY FOR THE TOTAL REPAIR BECAUSE THE HAVE STATED THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM WHICH EXITS ON OTHER VEHICLES.. *TR
