STEERING
VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS HAD A RUBBING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. I HAVE COMPLAINED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE 4 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. DEALER HAS MADE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE BASE OF THE COLUMN AND ALSO CHANGED THE STEERING GEAR. THE PROBLEM HAS COME BACK WITH INCREASING EFFORT TO STEER THE CAR. NOW THE DEALERSHIP STATES THE CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND 12 MONTHS HAVE ELAPSED SINCE THE REPLACEMENT. *TR

STEERING
STRAYED HEARING A HUMMING NOISE FROM THE STEERING COLUMN THAT CHANGED AS ACCELERATION CHANGED, THEN STARTED HAVING TROUBLE STEERING IN A TURN AT SLOW SPEEDS, COULD FEEL A TIGHTNESS IN THE STEERING COLUMN. TOOK TO THE DEALER WHO STATED IT IS A LEAK IN THE RACK & PINION APPARATUS AND WILL COST $1900 TO REPAIR. THEY REPORTED THAT IT IS COMMONLY NEEDED AT 60-80,000 MILES (MY VEHICLE HAS 70,000). I AM HOPING THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM BUT AFTER READING OTHERS COMPLAINTS, I AM WORRIED IT WILL STILL BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I DO FEEL GM SHOULD RESPOND TO THESE COMMON ISSUES AND REPAIR THEIR FAULTY VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. *TR

STEERING
WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW RATES OF SPEED IN A PARKING LOT OR AFTER A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN TURNING IN EITHER DIRECTION, THE STEERING BECOMES EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. I HAVE TO USE EXTREME STRENGTH TO STEER. PRIOR TO THIS I COULD HEAR KNOCKING EVERY SO OFTEN ON THE RIGHT SIDE. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THE IN AND OUT LOSSES OF POWER STEERING CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN 2011. I DIDN'T THINK I SHOULD BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM SO SOON. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

STEERING
MY 2010 TRAVERSE HAS ABOUT 56,000 MILES ON IT BUT FOR ABOUT THE LAST 300-500 A HUMMING NOISE HAS BEEN COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. IT HAS GRADUALLY BEEN GETTING WORSE AND I HAD STARTED NOTICING WHAT I WOULD DESCRIBE AS VARYING DEGREES OF PRESSURE NEEDED TO STEER IT. IT WOULD ALSO OCCASIONALLY HAVE WHAT I DESCRIBE AS A HICCUP FEEL WHEN I TURN IT ONCE IN AWHILE. TOOK INTO DEALER TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED AND WAS TOLD THAT NEW PUMP IS NEEDED. ALSO THERE WERE A COUPLE OF LEAKS COMING FROM THE VARIOUS LOCATIONS OF THE STEERING SYSTEM. QUOTED A REPLACEMENT COST OF $1653. CHEVROLET, PLEASE FIX THIS SITUATION! *TR

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED, OUR CHEVY TRAVERSE'S POWER STEERING FAILS TO WORK AND THE VEHICLE BECOMES DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE AND IS ALMOST ALWAYS NOTICEABLE WHEN PARKING AND BACKING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THE VEHICLE NEEDED THE POWER STEERING FLUID CHANGED. ON THE WAY HOME AFTER THE FLUID SERVICE, THE POWER STEERING BRIEFLY FAILED AS I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM BEING STOPPED. I HAD TO SLOW IN FRONT OF ON COMING TRAFFIC TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE SO I COULD SAFELY COMPLETE THE TURN. I NOW FEEL THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY TO RIDE IN AND POSES A RISK TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
AT APPROXIMATELY 10:30 AM, WE WERE DRIVING EAST ON I-270 OUTSIDE OF COLUMBUS, OHIO. I NEEDED TO PASS SOMEONE IN A FAIRLY TIGHT SITUATION AND I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR FULLY TO THE FLOOR. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD NOT RETURN OR IN OTHER WORDS, WAS STUCK AT WIDE OPEN THROTTLE. WHILE THIS OCCURRED, I GLANCED TO THE ACCELERATOR TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS OBSTRUCTING IT. THERE WAS NOTHING OBSTRUCTING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. I PUT THE CAR QUICKLY IN NEUTRAL AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, WITH A PLAN TO GLIDE TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO RESTART. LUCKILY, WHILE THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL AND THE IGNITION OFF, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AND CONTINUE ON MY JOURNEY. UPDATED 05/19/2015 *JS

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 6/19/14. MADE APPOINTMENT FOR 6/24/14 TO HAVE CHECKED AND ALSO OIL CHANGE. DEALER STATED THERE IS A $40 CHARGE FOR PUTTING ON THE TESTER FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT. USED BLUE ONSTAR AND WAS TOLD IT HAD TO DO WITH THE EMISSION AND WOULD AFFECT FUEL GETTING TO ENGINE AND RECOMMENDED REPAIRS WITHIN 7 DAYS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF ON THE WAY TO DEALER. HOWEVER DEALER CHECKED AND SAID EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT OK AND DID NOT CHARGE. LIGHT CAME ON NEXT DAY. RETURNED TO DEALER FOR LIGHT WHICH HAD COME ON AGAIN AND OFF AGAIN AND ONE OF TWO RECALLS WHICH I HAD NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED ABOUT. I AM STILL WAITING ON THE PARTS WHICH HAD TO BE ORDERED FOR ONE OF THE RECALLS WHICH IS NOT YET REPAIRED. WAS LAST THERE ON 7/15 AND NOW I AM TOLD THAT IT IS AN EMISSION PROBLEM AND WILL AFFECT MY FUEL MILEAGE AND NEEDS REPAIRED AND REPAIRS COST APPROX $380.00 AND OF COURSE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR EMISSION RAN OUT AT 80,000 MILES. . I ALSO AN ISSUE PROBABLY WHEN VEHICLE WAS 2 YEARS OLD WHERE MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW POWER STEERING PUMP. I WAS FORTUNATELY ON A TWO LANE RESIDENTIAL ROAD AN COASTED TO A RELATIVELY SAFE PLACE AND HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED. THANK GOD FOR TRIPLE AAA. THIS WAS COVERED UNDER MY FOX EXTENDED WARRANTY AND ONLY COST WAS TIME AGGRAVATION AND LOSS OF VEHICLE WHILE REPAIRS. I ALSO HAVE A OFF AND ON RUBBING SQUEAKING SOUND IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN MAKING TURNS. I AM ABOUT READY TO TRADE VEHICLES AND AM NOT FINANCIALLY ABLE TO AFFORD THE NEEDED REPAIRS. FOR THIS CAR. I AM LOSING ALL FAITH IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

STEERING
WHEN MY 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS OLD, BECAME INCREASING DIFFICULT TO STEER. TOOK TO CHEVY DEALER WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT CHEVY SAID TO REPLACE POWER STEERING FLUID. AFTER THAT WAS COMPLETED, IT WAS STILL HARD TO STEER, DEALER SAID TO WAIT A FEW WEEKS TO WORK IT IN! BECAME WORSE AND WORSE. POWER STEERING JUST NOT WORKING. DIFFICULT TO PARK VEHICLE AND DANGEROUS AS IF YOU NEED TO QUICKLY TURN COULD BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. CHEVY DEALER SAID NEEDS NEW POWER STEERING PUMP, OVER $2000 REPAIR. FINALLY GOT VEHICLE REPAIRED IN 2013 ELSEWHERE AT A LOCAL MECHANIC FOR APPROXIMATELY $1300. CHEVY NEEDS TO MAN UP AND RECALL THIS BEFORE DISASTER STRIKES AND ALSO REIMBURSE THOSE OF US WHO SHELLED OUT BIG BUCKS FOR REPAIRS. *TR
