Description of the problem	In august of 2014, around 60k miles, i noticed a moan when i steered as well as a "knock" that i had heard previously and taken into the dealership under warranty (they said it was a tire rod; clearly it was not). I was aware the moan may be my power steering pump, so i brought it in for diagnostic appointment to a local repair shop. Not only did i find my power steering pump needed replacement, but that was the cause and effect of a much large issue- my steering rack was loose, and was disengaging from the mount, which in turn, caused the corruption of my power steering pump. I was told it was worsening very quickly and if i lost my steering rack from the mount, i could lose steering, which could result in a crash. I was informed this type of repair is highly unusual for a car this new, with no accident history, and otherwise in excellent condition, and is likely an "engineering issue." i am appalled at not only the price of these repairs which i paid out of pocket ($1,968. 51), but after some research, how common this particular problem is with 2008 & 2009 buick enclaves, especially around 60k miles. The mileage on my vehicle now is 65,342. *js
