I see complaints about the power steering going out. While my car was under factory warranty, I complained to the dealership about the whinning sound in the steering column. The problem could not be duplicated while it was there. Now the power steering rack is being replaced. I see complaints about this problem and that it is not covered under extended warranties. Mine is and I am sooo very grateful. I have a new house a new clean garage floor. My husband and son first saw the leak on the new garage floor. We found he problem early. My son crawled under the car and took a pic of where it was leaking and I sent it to my service advisor. He called me back and told me to get the car in. I wasn't experiencing problems yet. I was lucky. If so many other people are having problems, why isn't there a recall?.
My car, a 2010 chevy Traverse ltz, had been making a loud sound upon starting. If the car was not allowed to warm up, it became difficult to steer. We took it to the mechanic, thinking it might just be low on power steering fluid. The mechanic stated that our steering column was shredded, and that there were metal shaving in the power steering fluid. It costs $2400 to fix. We have also had the air conditioning go out twice this summer.
