VEHICLE DEVELOPED AT RATTLING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN DRIVING OVER ROUGH ROAD SURFACES. I BELIEVE IT IS RELATED TO A PLASTIC GEAR INSIDE THE COLUMN THAT OTHERS ON THE INTERNET HAVE DESCRIBED. RECENTLY IT HAS DEVELOPED INTO A VERY LOUD RATTLE ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE THAT IS HEARD AND FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL ONLY WHEN BRAKING MODERATELY. LIGHT OR HEAVY BRAKING SEEM TO NOT CAUSE THIS, SO FAR. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE PROBLEM MAY EVENTUALLY RESULT IN THE FAILURE COMPLETELY OF THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS WOULD RESULT IN THE INABILITY FOR THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MOTOR TO ASSIST IN TURNING THE WHEEL, AND THUS THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR. OR I AM AFRAID IT COULD RESULT IN THE COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING ALL TOGETHER.

WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR SYMPTOMS, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AS I WAS MAKING A TURN. IT STARTLED ME AND CAUSED ME TO HIT A CURB. LUCKILY, IT WAS A SLOW TURN AND I WAS NOT DRIVING VERY FAST. I NOW HAVE NO POWER STEERING.

BOUGHT CAR IN 2016 FROM SILVER EAGLE AUTO MALL IN MISSOURI. CALL RANDOMLY CUTS OUT WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS IN ON HIGHWAY AND HAVE TO PULL OVER. HAVE THERE VERY CLOSE TO ACCIDENTS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. BATTERY AN ALTERNATOR HAVE BEEN REPLACED IT DOES NOT JUST DIAL INDUSTRIAL BACK UP IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP. NOW AS OF AUGUST 1ST 2018 I AM CURRENTLY SMELLING STRONG GAS ONCE I GET OUT OF CAR WITH CHILDREN... CAN SMELL A LOT FROM DRIVER SIDE IT MAY SEEM ALSO THIS CAR HAS STARTED SMELLING LIKE GAS OUTSIDE OF CAR CAR WON'T START SOMETIMES I'M PLAYING MULTIPLE TURNS WITH KEYS AND IS NOW CUTTING OUT EVEN MORE WHILE DRIVING... BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT FAR AS RANDOM CUTTING OUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE SMELL IS COMING FROM IT IS NOT FROM UNDER HOOD....

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND I NOTICED A STRONG FUEL ODOR COMING FROM MY CAR. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. LEFT THE CAR RUNNING AND SAW A HUGE PUDDLE OF FUEL DRIPPING DOWN ONTO THE GROUND FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. ONE OF THE LINES RIGHT AT THE FITTING INTO THE FUEL PUMP IS CRACKED. THEY HAVE THIS ALREADY RECALLED, BUT ONLY IN 15 STATES AND MINE ISN'T ONE OF THEM. I WANT CHEVY TO ISSUE A 50 STATE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. MY CAR COULD OF CAUGHT FIRE AND I COULD OF DIED. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. A YEAR AGO I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL LINES FROM THE FUEL FILTER TO THE FUEL RAIL IN THE ENGINE BECAUSE THE METAL TUBING RUSTED OUT AND CRACKED. THEY NEED TO BE STAINLESS STEEL NOT POT METAL. THEIR IS NO RECALL ON THOSE FUEL LINES, BUT I READ LOTS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I DON'T HAVE ANY PHOTOS ONLY VIDEO OF IT DRIPPING.
