Chevrolet Traverse Steering Safety Report | Apr 01, 2013
Reported on Apr 01, 2013
| WITHOUT WARNING, NO LEAKS, NO NOISES.... AT 55 MPH WHEN I STARTED TO DECREASE MY SPEED TO TAKE A CURVE I LOST MY POWER STEERING. THIS COMES AND GOES WITHOUT WARNING AND IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR ANYONE DRIVING A TRAVERSE!! I JUST BOUGHT THIS USED VEHICLE ON MAR 6, 2013 AND NO SIGNS OF ANY PROBLEMS AND THEN THE POWER STEERING FAILS. WHEN YOU TRY TO TURN INTO PARKING LOTS OR ONTO A SIDE STREET IT JUST HITS AND YOU LOSE ALL POWER STEERING MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS FOR ALL PERSON(S) IN OR NEAR THE VEHICLE. WE WERE TOLD BY VARIOUS MECHANICS IN THE SURROUNDING AREA THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW AND PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES AND YET GM HAS YET TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS!! THERE IS A MULTITUDE OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE THE IS SCATTERED ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH POWER STEERING ISSUES!! GM SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY BEFORE ITS TOO LATE AND SOMEONE GETS KILLED AND CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS ARE FILED!! *TR | |
