Power Steering Fluid problems of the 2011 Buick Enclave

Enclave is making creaking noises when turning, sometimes the steering pauses while driving, leaking power steering fluid. This is the third engine on this vehicle, so mileage on this engine roughly 25,000.

My 2011 Buick Enclave "power steering rack" was found leaking fluid during a routine oil change at my dealership, burns GMC, Buick dealer in marlton, n. J. . My 2011 Buick Enclave only has 57000 miles on it. It cost me $1200. 00 to get repaired. There is a "class action law suit" filed against gm for this same problem. Gm should recall these vehicles listed in the law suit and repair them free of charge. This is a very dangerous situation for someone to loose the steering of their vehicle while driving one of these vehicles.

Vehicle made noise when turning the wheel. The dealer said the steering gear was leaking and as a result the low fluid resulted in power steering pump failure. I have read multiple reports online from customers stating that they had the exact same issues. This is clearly a manufacturing defect that gm should be held accountable to correct. The vehicle has just over 52k miles and I have owned it since it was brand new. Repair quote from a local dealership was $1100 for the steering gear, $360 for the pump, and $1000 for labor. These repairs are not covered under warranty despite the special extended warranty gm issued for power steering pump failure.

The power steering fluid is leaking after hearing loud grinding noise and difficult to steer while driving. Gm said they didn't see a problem and not part of the "special coverage" that involves a steering pump. Apparently, you need to almost crash your car before that is replaced. I received a quote to repair and it's at least $800. The car has 67k miles and is 5 years old - only owner.
