The steering has a whining noise and the brake has a squeaky noise that both feel unsafe to drive. Many owners have experienced these issue on buick enclave, saturn outlook, chevy traverse and gmc acadia as well as others. No solution has been issued by gm and something needs to be done to remedy these issues.

I experienced a life threatening vehicle malfunction with my brand new 2014 chevy traverse. I was driving down the road and i felt my steering wheel stop working. If i turned to the left or the right it would continue going straight. This happened twice at low speeds on a paved street in my neighborhood. I have the documentation of how i tried to resolve this matter with gm/chevy.

While accelerating to 40 mph, the vehicle suddenly started vibrating followed by stability control and traction error messages, the check engine light on, a burning smell due to random braking as part of the control and an engine down power. This incident is similar to many others reported over a period of years and is unacceptable from a safety stand point when my entire family is within the vehicle. I will not…
