Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The steering wheel started to make a rubbing, squeaking sound upon turning left or right at low speeds. By the next day, i had lost power steering completely at low speeds. I went to make a turn, thinking i had power steering and almost got in an accident because i was unable to turn the car as quickly as usual. It was so scary! I took the car to the dealer who has had it in the shop the last four days. They are replacing the entire steering column. I hope that will solve the problem, but after reading tons of complaints online at buick enclave forums, i fear that this issue is widespread and is an on-going problem, no matter how many "fixes" at the dealership. |
