They fixed this problem, however it started occuring again in October and they didn't fix it...now, that I am researching it, I am wanting them to REALLY fix it because there is a REAL fix out...but they are saying they aren't paying for it...well, FIRST they said they didn't have a record of me ever being in their shop! WHATEVER! Fortunately the corporate DID! OMG I was soooo mad!!! Champion Chevy in Austin is a bunch of criminals!!! DO NOT buy from them!!!! They LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tahoe Z 71 5.3L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 55,000 miles

'04 Tahoe Z71-Irritating noise at slow speeds under 20 mph in left front with some vibration felt in steering wheel. After surfing the web I was able to diagnose this from other complaints that had been filed by individuals. I called the local GM dealer where I was told this would not be covered under warranty at 59000 miles and there had been no recalls because of the steering shaft "wear" problem. GM wanted $250 plus tax; after calling around I was able to get the shaft replaced for $225 ....why put any more money in the cauffers of Mr. Good Wrench?
