Took my traverse to the dealership as i needed new tires due to dry rot. This was discovered when i took it in for an oil change. It stated to them that i could hear a growling noise coming from the steering column when turning the wheel to the right. I was told that the power steering gear was leaking at the right front boot. The total cost to repair $1700.00. No recall on this important part of the traverse or any…

Driving the traverse on the freeway and it cuts out, the steering wheel locks, making it hard to steer. Endangering everyone in the vehicle. Other cars are coming at high speed and this one does with no warning. Other times it protects a reaction control check stabilise message and reduces engine power, greatly reducing speed you are going.

Power steering hose leaked at connections at just a few years of age and at low miles (40k). Chevy proceeds to tell me it's a very common issue and hope for me that it'll be a recall so i can get my hundreds back in repairs for a small simple job, ridiculous, since it leaked quite a bit on the floors, and down a hot motor, which could potentially disrupt power steering as well as a potential fire hazard. Just love…

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…
