Chevrolet Traverse Steering Safety Report | May 01, 2013
Reported on May 01, 2013
| I BEGAN TO NOTICE NOISE WHILE STEERING AND THEN DIFFICULTY STEERING, AS THOUGH THE POWER STEERING WASN'T WORKING. I HAD SOME PREVIOUS UNDIAGNOSED LEAKS ON THE VEHICLE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THOSE WERE NEVER RESOLVED. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE STEERING CHECKED, I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A REPAIR THAT WOULD COST $2000, AND OF COURSE, IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I WENT TO ANOTHER AUTO SHOP WHO ESTIMATED A LOWER COST FOR THE REPAIR, THE REPAIR WAS MADE, AND THE DIFFICULTY STEERING BEGAN AGAIN. 24 HOURS AFTER THE SUPPOSED FIX , THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE AFTER MY HUSBAND PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE. IT WAS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR | |
