Our 2010 Chevrolet Traverse will lose power steering when making hard turns and/or turning at low speeds. The vehicle has been in motion nearly every time when this happens. We have lost all power steering when turning even on five lane highways, crossing very busy highways. We have never experienced this with a vehicle before this one. We are reporting it today, but we have experienced this sudden loss of power steering several times with our Traverse. This is a safety issue, and general motors needs to do something about it.

When you turn a corner, park in a parking spot, back up the power steering goes out. Anytime you turn the wheel the power steering goes out. It will cost over $2,000. 00 to fix this issue. I have never had a vehicle lose power steering when you turn the wheel. I do not believe my vehicle is an isolated incident.

10 Lose Power Steering problem

Failure Date: 07/10/2013

My Traverse loses power steering at low speeds. When pulling into or out of a parking spot there is no power steering. Also occurs when turning to make a u turn when at low rpm. This started in July 2013 and has been getting worse. I have taken to the dealer 3 times without any confirmed diagnose. The lack of power steering makes it very difficult to maueuver in parking lots or parking garages. They noted a small leak on the rack and pinion but do not believe that it is related to the power steering problem at low speeds. The steering works great at speeds higher then 30mph.

At slow speeds, you lose power steering when trying to park in parking spots, turning curves, and turning off onto other streets. Very dangerous driving when you are expecting to turn and can't turn because of the power steering failure. This should be looked into before someone in injuried or even killed. This does not occur all the time, but occurs too often when you least expect it. I've just purchased vehicle and did not know about the problem until after I had the vehicle about a week.
