| Suspension problems |
At low speeds the steering wheel will not turn. Takes greater effort than my strength can handle. Also smell a light burning smell with it. Feeling every bump with this issue too so may be in the suspension but cannot diagnose yet.
We had truck since new. We have consistent suspension problems including struts and bushings. The parts were designed for car and not heavy SUV. This could result in accident if not repaired as involves steering and direction. We have also had the brake booster replaced 5 times to date. It starts squeaking. Gm has said it will not effect the brake but they cannot lubricate or repair unless replaced. This also effects other gm trucks on same lambda platform including acadia and traverse.
There is a grinding noise when turning wheels from far left and from far right. Generally heard as you begin to back up from a parking space and going forward and turning the steering wheel in either direction. Vehicle has about 73,000 miles and new factory recommended tires at 68,000 miles. Recently had leaking power steering pump replaced by gm Buick garage. Gm mechanic can't determined source of grinding sound.
Bought vehicle September 7, 2015. Vehicle from very start had vibration, wind tunnel sound, and shimmy in steering at highway speeds. Drive vehicle for long period of time you get a headache. After many attempts dealer could not fix this. Dealers attempts to repair drove three other Enclaves which had same problem and GMC acadia with same problem. Told this is normal for vehicle. I tried to return vehicle for my trade in. They said no. Gm district rep. Also said vehicle is normal. I am stuck with this vehicle. Gm knows they have problems but does nothing.
