Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2003 chevrolet 1500hd 4x4 - the intermediate shaft made a clanking sound" while turning and driving. it was extremely annoying and loud. i took vehicle to the dealer twice while under warranty. i now only have 57,000 miles on the truck. both times they greased the shaft. now it was back even worse. the dealership told me that gm has come out with a new shaft. however, they do not know if it will be any better or worse, and of course they wanted me to pay for the new part. how could i know if the shaft was on the verge of failure? do i just allow the noise to continue until it failed? will it fail? what will happen when it fails? i would expect gm to own up to this problem. they knew it was a design flaw, but refused to accept responsibility.*ak |
