Power Steering Pump problems of the 2012 Chevrolet Traverse

While braking at low speeds during a turn, I experience a sudden loss of power steering that is regained within moments. This has happened three times within the last two weeks. No accident has occurred as of yet. In may of 2017 I had my power steering pump replaced due to an issue with inconsistent power steering pressure during turns. This was a similar, yet seperate, issue than what is currently being experienced now.

Power steering does not work at low rpm. It is very hard to park car in parking spaces, and also very hard to make tight turns at low speeds. It seems as if there is a problem with the power steering pump. This has been a constant problem for several months.

Vehicle was traveling apx 25 mph and slowing for a right turn. Car died in busy traffic at intersection on a city street. No warning lights, no oil light and no engine light. Restarted vehicle and it sounded horrible and had no power. Took it into a shop to find the engine had failed due to improper oil pressure. Spun rod bearing, and timing chain failure. Car ran perfect before this incident and I adhered to oil change schedule . I still owe $20,000 on it! gm and chevy will not help, even tho I bought from a chevy dealership. Also had to replace power steering pump twice in a year. Blower motor quit working and wiper motor. After researching online, I find to these to be extremely common issues. There was a recall for timing chain and engine failure in 2009 to 2011, then again in 2013 but not 2012? why chevy?! cost to fix: $9,926. Almost half of what I owe on a vehicle ive had a year.

My chevy Traverse started making rubbing noises when making hard turns just after it hit 60,000 miles (and had its big maintenance which flushed the power steering fluid). When I took it into the shop I was told that all of the steering components needed replaced (power steering pump and rack, gear, new fluid) and then the car would need an alignment (also just had one with the last service). With a "discount" at the dealership, this cost me $2,428!!! I read that many others have had the same issue, but nothing has been recalled, so it comes out of my pocket to replace faulty parts that were used in my vehicle. I contacted gm and they offered me to extend the warranty on the parts (used the same faulty parts?) that with my mileage will last maybe three years.

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced a loss of power steering while being operated at a low speed. The failure occurred without warning. The freemont Chevrolet dealer was contacted and diagnosed that the power steering rack and pump were defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 79,000.

Knocking engine, running like a old tractor. Engine stalled!! had to replace motor. No power found tranny went bad on the middle of busy intersection. Had to replace tranny. Now power steering pump went couldn't turn the wheels on the highway. Had to replace. All repairs paid out of my pocket. Wheres the recalls?? so many people with this same year vehicle same problems. All of these have costed me several thousands of dollars out of my pocket. Also had to pay dealership for the brakes that were bad. 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 & 2020 all the years happened. Wipers were the 1st to fall off got replaced.

Tl-the contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving approximately 10 mph, the steering wheel emitted an unusual noise. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the power steering pump was replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 62,000. Js.

A week ago my Traverse started making a grinding noise, and I thought it was the brakes so I took it to our mechanic who checked all four wheels and determined the brakes were fine. He said it was possibly a rock or something causing the noise and it stopped for a few days. This morning I was pulling into a parking spot at work and the steering froze up completely and the brakes did not want to work either. I almost hit the car I was parking next to! I'm so glad that didn't happen in the middle of traffic or a main street or it could have been a lot worse. Very scary, but what would cause this? will gm be looking into this before someone gets really hurt or has a major accident? taking back to the mechanic Wednesday to check the steering pump. . . . Not happy.
