Any one else have a steering wheel that shifts like the loose seat shifts on your 2015 Yukon? my bumper to bumper warranty just went out....

(of course we start noticing all these little things wrong with the truck right when the warranty went out a few weeks ago but... the steering wheel shift is now more noticeable.

Anyone else have this issue or know what the fix is? (I can post a video later if it helps)

Should mentioned there is only 37k miles on the truck (it's not been the happiest miles burned either)

- have had to have the 22in rims balanced and rebalanced to fix a shaking at hwy speed (is that normal? none of my other cars needed this much attention)
- folding middle seat back collapsed on it self (presumably when my 10yr and her friends climbed over it - hint don't let your kids no matter how small climb over the seat)
- Frame rust - actually had the dealer repaint the frame (not coat it with that goo but actually paint it)
- Squeaky exhaust shifting between 4cy and 8 cy = they "fixed it" but it isn't actually fixed

All of the above took 2 weeks of picking up the car and dropping it off 4 or 5 times every time going back because they didnt actually fix what I asked them to fix or they just didnt see it as an issue... until I did the "test ride" with them.

Pretty pissed. I've had $25k cars NEVER go to the dealer for anything in well over 140k miles and this thing has been there at least 8 times in the first 37k.

Oh almost forgot the right rear Taillight went out.... just before the warranty (thank gawd).

THOSE SUCKERS ARE $700.00 at the dealer!!!!! (I could not find one cheaper anywhere else).

WHO THE FK DESIGNS A $700 tail light (Thats $1400 for both left and right BTW) on a TRUCK???????

the most ridiculous vehicle purchase I have EVER made. $1400 tail lights is flat out no question JUST stupid.

YES, I did on ****** before I traded her in.

Same song, took it to the dealer, they diagnosed it as a column bearing bad, scuffed my airbag in the process, and 3 days later it was back.

I just ended up dealing with it and finally traded it off.

It was VERY annoying and I primarily noticed it most when turning to the right.

Yes. Like a click / bump / shift movement. They couldn't replicate it, imagine that.
