Description of the problem	My 2010 buick enclave has now had the steering rack fail twice in it's first year. The steering pump has now failed. This starts off as a rub and then soon after begins to have grinding in the steering wheel. I have not let it progress and had it repaired immediately each time. The dealer told me the parts were redesigned yet less than 6 months after installing the new parts, it failed again. I was told by the mechanic that there was insufficient oil in the part and the redesign was to add more oil. Clearly that has not worked. I was told if not promptly repaired, it would lead to loss of steering. I have already filed for repurchase of the vehicle under the lemon law in my state. The dealer also made statements about this being a known issue and that they are trying to get vehicles repaired as they come in and are trying to figure out why it's failing. Additionally i visited the buick enclave forums and some other sites and have indeed found this to be a common problem. I don't have a working knowledge of auto mechanics but i'm very concerned about the possible loss of steering control and the inability of the dealer to fix my problem.
