What owners wrote
Was driving south on highway 77 when my tahoe starting to bounce on the front end then starting fish tailing from white line to white line tried to correct and had no steering. Then went off the right side of road and hit a driveway and flipped end over end then back over headed in the opposite way. There was a person watching the accident happened and he stated that the truck was bouncing going down the road then went out of control and flipped.
2005 chevrolet tahoe z71. Upon turning, could hear and feel in steering column a popping type noise/feel. Took it for service, and it was determined the intermediate steering shaft was broke. Part replaced under warranty.
