Description of the problem	Turning left against traffic steering wheel locked in place for a few seconds and then released quickly causing a very unsafe condition of turning hard with nothing and then almost u-turning with too much turning strength. There is no warning of steering stoppage. It was out of warranty and dealer suggested changing fluid as it was over 100k miles. Took to independent shop and was told i need a rack and pinion. R & p was replaced and problem still existed. Oem r & p replaced and problem still there. There is a steering solenoid that was replaced because it was full of dirty steering fluid. That did not repair it either. There is a pressure relief valve in the power steering pump that failed intermittently and the whole pump needed to be replaced. It appears the traverse is having a lot of "steering issues". This traverse has a lot of highway miles and the problem took a while to develop. I have been talking to chevrolet about this and they do not want to acknowledge a "problem". I spent $1200 having this issue resolved. When the steering first reacted this way, i felt in danger with the oncoming traffic, and the steering went violent when it released causing another dangerous situation of turning too far into more traffic. As i look at steering problems with this model there are numerous complaints and if mileage piles up a dangerous condition will occur and possible wrecks.
