 Description of the problemAs i was driving the power steering was randomly going out for just a moment so i checked my power steering fluid and it was fine. The next time i drove it when i went to make a turn the power steering completely stopped working and i almost ran into another car. Very scary with 4 children in the car! Took it to 2 mechanics that i trust and they were both shocked that the steering rack was loose. Both said that it was something they almost never see, it was not something i could have done to make that happen and they were shocked to see that it was a problem. Both told me to look into a recall for it since it was a major safety issue and problem that is not a normal wear and tear. I check my vin number and there are no recalls but i do see on multiple message boards that this is a big problem for 2009 buick enclaves with 80,000 miles.
