Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Clunking noise in front end especially when you are in a turn. also could feel a "thump" through the steering wheel at same time. we are stationed in germany in the air force. took it to the opel dealer (chevy equiv. in germany) and they diagnosed it as the intermediate shaft needing to be replaced. after $300 and a long time waiting for the part, it was replaced and hasn't given us a problem since. also have had major problem with this car "eating" brakes and rotors. reminds me exactly of my buick regal i had with the same brake issues. after i sold the regal, i was sent info on a class action suit against gmc for the same brake issues. both are great cars but brakes stink. *tr
