Having problem with my steering wheel on my 2010 Traverse. Every time I turn especially when I'm trying to park the steering wheel is very hard to turn like if the vehicle had no steering fluid. It's problem that lots of owner with the same model have and I think gm should make this a recall.
Steering wheel is getting very hard to turn at times becomes stuck and will not move and continues to happen.
While trying to turn onto a street, steering was very hard to turn and made it difficult to complete the turn. This happened sporadically for several months until we took it into the dealership to have it fixed. It cost $2k to fix the steering pump.
When making a left or right turn steering locks up occasionally . If you make a sharp left or right turn its as if you have no power steering. Power steering reservoir fluid is at appropriate level. In my research of this problem, its wide spread. Internet forums have much discussion on this problem. Its a safety issue, when the steering locks up and is too hard to turn the potential for an accident is great.
Intermittent loss of power steering at low speeds when turning into driveway or in and out of parking spaces. Also was especially bad when backing into a parking space on a hill, when I could not turn the wheel at all until I started applying gas to get the car moving. At these times the steering wheel is extremely hard to turn. I have taken to the dealer for inspection twice and cannot duplicate the problem while there. The dealer gets no error codes on diagnostic and cannot see any leaks or mechanical problems. They have contacted gm who says they do not have any bulletins related to this matter. This problem is very unsettling and potentially very dangerous. I hope gm will investigate and come up with a solution.
