2003 GMC Yukon Denali

I PURCHASED THE 2003 YUKON USED IN DECEMBER 2006. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING THIS SUV I NOTICED THE CLUNKING SOUND AND COULD FEEL IT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS I BEGAN TO NOTICE THE LACK OF STEERING ASSIST. THEN LAST WEEK WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN ONTO A SIDE STREET, THE STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED UP CAUSING ME TO ALMOST SIDE SWIPE A CAR IN THE OPPOSING LANE. I HAD TO JAM ON MY BRAKES TO AVOID SLAMMING INTO THE OTHER CAR. MY MECHANIC SAID THAT HE THOUGHT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ISSUED, BUT COULD NOT LOCATE ANY DOCUMENTATION. I RESEARCHED YOUR WEB SITE AND FOUND DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS VERY SAME STEERING FAILURE, BUT NO RECALL INFORMATION WAS FOUND. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

THE STEERING COLUMN OF MY 2003 YUKON DENALI WITH 50,910 MILES GOT LOOSE. I TOOK VEHICULE TO A GMC DEALER TO GET IT CHECK AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE UPPER STEERING BEARING WAS FAILING AND RECOMMENDED IMMEDIATE REPAIRS THAT WOULD COST ME $698.12. I CONTACTED GMC AND THEY DECIDE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AT NO CHARGE TO ME. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICULE TO GET THE STEERING COLUMN FIX I MENTIONED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE THAT MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO GET TIGHT DURING TURNS AND IF THIS PROBLEM WAS RELATED TO THE OTHER ONE. THEY INSPECTED VEHICULE AND FOUND OUT THAT THE POWER STEERING PUMP IS FAILING TOO. I CALLED GMC AGAIN TO LET THEM KNOW ABOUT THIS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM AT NO CHARGE BECAUSE THEY JUST FIX THE OTHER ONE AT NO CHARGE AND THAT I HAVE NOT SPEND A LOT OF MONEY OUT OF MY POCKET YET FOR REPAIRS ON THIS VEHICULE.
