STEERING
FAILURE OF POWER STEERING SYSTEM - AT LOW SPEEDS, POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE IS NOT ACTIVE. VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN STEERING WHEEL FROM A STOPPED POSITION OR MOVING AT LOW SPEED. THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY RISK IN THE ABILITY TO AVOID PEDESTRIANS, VEHICLES OR OTHER OBJECTS WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS, MOST NOTABLY PARKING LOTS. CONDITION STARTED AROUND THE 50,000-MILE MARK. AFTER FURTHER EXAMINATION, FLUID APPEAR TO BE LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. HAD VEHICLE TAKEN TO GM-CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM REQUIRED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH THERE APPEARS TO BE CONCERNING HISTORY OF POWER-STEERING RELATED FAILURE ON THE GMC ACADIA. PRIOR MODEL YEARS (2007-2011) HAD THE WARRANTY EXTENDED ON THE SYSTEM UPWARDS OF 10 YEARS AND 150,000 MILES. IN ADDITION, A VARIETY OF TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE BEEN ISSUED ON THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM OF THE 2016 GMC ACADIA. NHSTA DATABASE ALSO POINTS TO A NUMBER OF SIMILAR INCIDENTS, TYPICALLY OCCURRING AROUND THE 50,000 MILE RANGE. THIS INDICATES A LATENT MANUFACTURE DEFECT IN WHICH FURTHER ACTION MUST BE TAKEN TO ADDRESS THIS ONGOING SAFETY ISSUE.

WHENEVER I SHIFT THE VEHICLE TO PARK AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE, A MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED THAT SAYS 'ACTION REQUIRED SHIFT TO PARK.' IT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK AND THEREFORE WILL NOT LET ME LEAVE THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES I HAVE TO TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES AND SHIFT BACK-AND-FORTH FROM DR. TO PARK SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I CAN GET OUT OF THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE NOW. THE FIRST TIME THE FIX DIDN'T WORK AND THE SECOND TIME WAS JUST YESTERDAY SO TIME WILL TELL.

ALTHOUGH IN PARK, THE DASH ALERTS THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE : 'SHIFT TO PARK' THIS ALERT DOES NOT ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO BE SHUT OFF FULLY AS THE RADIO STILL PLAYS, LIGHTS REMAIN IN AND THE DASH REMAINS LIT. HAVE TRIED TO RESTART AND SHIFT INTO DIFFERENT GEARS THEN RETURN TO PARK AS WELL AS ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BREAK. NOTHING WORKS TO FIX THIS.
