Description of the problem | When driving at a low speed, the vehicle makes a terrible whining noise. I took it to the dealership in march 2014 and was told the power steering pump and rack need to be replaced which would cost me close to $3000 out-of-pocket, which i cannot afford. Upon researching, i saw numerous complaints regarding the same issue with the traverse that have resulted in power steering failure. I also see that gm recalled chevy malibus and cobalts in march 2014 for the same issue, however, a recall was not issued for the traverse. I feel this is a huge safety concern that gm should issue a recall for. Does there have to be fatality before they are held accountable?!?! |
