[05 tahoe]

I had a 2003 tahoe that had the same problem. i had the intermediate steering shaft replaced 4 times. GM ended up buying it back from me after months of calling them. I ended up getting an 05 loaded. they traded the 03 for the 05 even up. It happened to the 05 once and they fixed it and said it was a recall. It should still be covered under the recall no matter when you bought it. have you called GM. I would not take no for an answer. It's not your fault the people before you didn't keep up with it. that's a safety issue. we bought a used car a year ago and i noticed shortly after we bought it that it had an open recall. they didn't ask any questions and fixed it. you really shouldn't be having any problems
