What owners wrote
My husband was recently involved in an accient in his 2000 chevrolet monte carlo due to steering problems. This resulted in a roll-over x2 and total loss. I have contacted GM to discuss the problem and they insist that it should be handled by our insurance carrier. Since the accident, I have found that GM issued a recall (03062) for power steering problems. I have done further research and found that this is not a one time incident, others have complained of very similiar problems with the same vehicle.
I bought my 2000 chev monte carlo new in jan 2000. At approx 20000 miles I took it into the dealer because of 'rattling & clunking" noise in steering column. The dealer determined that it was the 'intermediate shaft" - it was fixed/replaced by the dealer at that time. At 37k miles - the same problem. Again, the dealer replaced the intermediate shaft. Now, at 77k miles - the same problem again. This time the dealer and GM will not pay for or cover the repair.
