Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased the car in august 2004. several months after the purchase i took the vehicle back to the dealership because i heard a clunking noise coming from the front of the vehicle when making a right or left hand turn. after the car was serviced, the dealership explained that gm is well aware of the issue (the dealership had received a notice from gm) but that a recall had not yet been done on the vehicle for this issue. the dealership said it had to do with a mount bracket that needed be torqued. if the bracket became too loose it could separate causing the driver to loose steering. i was never told that i would have to periodically take the vehicle back in to be serviced for this but yet again several months later i am beginning to hear the clunking. the steering also seems much more loose than it previously did. i also am beginning to hearing a clicking noise in the steering column, along with the clunk. i do feel this is a serious problem with this vehicle that gm should definitely be held accountable for. *jb
