general problems of the 2015 Buick Enclave

While @ highway speed, steering wheel shudders & takes over driving, (@ random times).

Squealing noise when using steering wheel. Even if the car is heated up for over 20 minutes. Steering wheel slow to turn or hard to turn. Happens everyday now. Took to a dealership and they are advising that will cost almost 3k to resolve issue. Will have to send invoice once I pick up vehicle.

The steering wheel develops play because the components of the tie rod loosen and it is difficult to maintain control of the vehicle at high and low speeds. Besides that, steering is very stiff. Cracks and screeches are heard coming from the steering rack when you turn the wheel, can even be felt from the steering wheel. My vehicle has only 26k miles on it, but I've heard some others start at 5k.

Son was driving car and the steering locked. Veared off road after turning onto street, went over curb onto sidewalk and hit light pole and concrete bench, stopping inches from a building. Car was totaled.

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.

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.
