STEERING
STEERING MAKES A LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND STEERING GEAR FAILURE. DELAY AND BINDING UP WHEN TRYING TO TURN AT LOW SPEEDS. DEALER CONFIRMED REPAIR BULLETIN EXISTS BUT GENERAL MOTORS DENIED WARRANTY REPAIR. FOUND 40+ NTSB/NHTSA ISSUES WITH CHEVROLET TRAVERSE STEERING. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AFFECTING THE STEERING ABILITY OF THE VEHICLE. NEW STEERING GEAR, HOUSING, HOSES, AND FLUID CHANGE TO DEXRON IS REQUIRED. I NEED HELP PLEASE! *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE WITH APPROX 53KMILES. DRIVING ON DRY PAVEMENT OF THE FREEWAY I TRIED TO PUT CRUISE CONTROL ON AND IT WOULD NOT WORK THEN I GOT "TRACTION CONTROL DISABLED, SERVICE STABIL-TRACK" THEN MY VEHICLE STARTED TO SLIP AND LOOSE SPEED. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER AND EVENTUALLY I GOT HOME. LUCKILY MY CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE CAR. I TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO THESE MODELS AND IT MAY BE ELECTRICAL? I HAVE RESEARCHED SOME FORUMS AND THIS IS A DEFECT IN THESE MODELS. I LOVE MY TRAVERSE BUT THIS ISSUE IS A HUGE CONCERN. *TR

STEERING
AT SLOW SPEEDS, YOU LOSE POWER STEERING WHEN TRYING TO PARK IN PARKING SPOTS, TURNING CURVES, AND TURNING OFF ONTO OTHER STREETS. VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING WHEN YOU ARE EXPECTING TO TURN AND CAN'T TURN BECAUSE OF THE POWER STEERING FAILURE. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE SOMEONE IN INJURIED OR EVEN KILLED. THIS DOES NOT OCCUR ALL THE TIME, BUT OCCURS TOO OFTEN WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. I'VE JUST PURCHASED VEHICLE AND DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM UNTIL AFTER I HAD THE VEHICLE ABOUT A WEEK. *TR

STEERING
AT LOW SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING FAILS. WHEN TURNING INTO PARKING SPOTS OR TRYING TO MAKE TURNS ONTO OTHER STREETS OR ROADS, YOU LOSE ALL POWER STEERING MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO TURN. I JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND DIDN'T NOTICE THE PROBLEM UNTIL ABOUT A WEEK LATER. IT DOES NOT OCCUR ALL THE TIME, BUT TOO OFTEN WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT. *TR

STEERING
NOTED POWER STEERING FLUID IN DRIVEWAY. HAD IT DIAGNOSED AT THE DEALERSHIP AS A LEAK FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. WAS TOLD THE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A $1300 CHARGE. I'VE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO READ COMPLAINTS THAT VARIOUS REPAIRS HAD BEEN MADE TO SOLVE THE STEERING PROBLEMS WITH OTHER TRAVERSES, BUT STILL PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING SYSTEM OCCUR. I'M CONCERNED MY STEERING MAY GO OUT ENTIRELY DURING TRAVEL AND END UP IN A FATALITY. A RECALL SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE. *TR

STEERING
OUR 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE REQUIRED AN ENTIRELY NEW POWER STEERING SYSTEM AFTER 65K MILES AND 3 YEARS. IT REQUIRED $2500 WORTH OF REPAIR; A PUMP, GEAR, HOSE, CLAMP, AND FLUID. OUR CAR WAS ONE OF 4 TRAVERSES AND 2 ACADIA'S AT CENTURY CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP REQUIRING THE EXACT SAME REPAIR AT THE SAME TIME. ALSO, CONTACTING OTHER MECHANIC'S IN THE AREA IN AN ATTEMPT TO PRICE COMPARE, WE WERE TOLD THIS IS A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW IN THESE VEHICLES WITHIN THE AUTO REPAIR INDUSTRY WHICH GM HAS YET TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT. THE INTERNET IS RAMPANT WITH A MULTITUDE OF RELATED STORIES OF POWER STEERING ISSUES IN THESE VEHICLES. A RECALL SHOULD BE REQUIRED OF GM TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE. *TR
