Adaptive Equipment Problems of Chevrolet Traverse

The power steering stops working when slowing down and going into turns. The issue is more noticeable when turning into parking spaces, backing out of parking spaces. It occurs when the air conditioner is on. The dealership said it was the ac compressor and charged us $1200 to change it. The problem still exists. This is very dangerous because I start to turn into somewhere and the power steering stops working making it difficult to turn the wheel. Avoiding an accident would be impossible as the car steering is not responsive. Seems to occur more on hot days or after driving the car for a while. Dealership has of yet been able to fix the issue. Checking forums for the Traverse this seems to be a car defect that dealerships are having a hard time fixing.

At low speeds the vehicle is extremely hard to steer. Parking lot maneuvers, turning at a stop sign or light, and other slow speed turns are very difficult to make for me and especially my wife who is the primary driver. I'm no body builder but I do workout but it is still very difficult for me to control the direction of the vehicle's travel at low speeds. Through Traverseforum. Com I have learned that other Traverse lt and ltz drivers have experienced or are experiencing the same problem. The LS models do not have this problem as they have no steering gear valve solenoid which the lt and ltz models do have. I have checked the power steering fluid resevoir and it is at the proper level. Gm needs to address this problem before someone wrecks or causes a wreck because of this extremely difficult steering problem. Luckily it is only occurring at low speeds. I have ordered this solenoid which is on backorder which implies to me that this is a common problem with this vehicle. We are happy with this vehicle and Chevrolet/gm, however, this issue needs to be addressed by gm as a safety recall in my opinion.

Hello. I leased a 2012 Traverse for 24 months and had 3 or was it 4 urgent/important recalls? I missed work 3 times costing me almost $500. 00 dollars because I had to call off all because "urgent/important" took those words for granted recalls. I recently got a 24 month new lease from chevy again after turning my Traverse in this month shortly after I was billed by ally financial about $600. 00 for minor wear and tears for the Traverse I turned in almost 2 weeks ago. I turned the truck in early and made the last payment and it was 8k miles under. I'm shocked and appauld that with all the urgent recalls and having to lose money calling off work to get these serious urgent recalls fixed, ally or chevy did not even offer any incentives?? they said repairs for recalls are at no charge. . . Well of course they're responsible and to think of my kids and driving with them knowing a prior urgent recalls and one being was with saftey belts??,? hmmm maybe I need to talk to someone about this, I have to take it as a serious matter. I lost time and money away from work to fix the chevy recalls. . . So many, and ally financial is asking me for almost $600. 00??? chevy neglected to release these vehicals like the Traverse with seat belt issues being discovered a year after I've been driving it and with the family in it? wow unbelievable, and then ally financial asking me for $600. For minor scratches, some nerves. Chevy not even compensating nothing not even a dollar, hah I just hope that vp jeff boyer of the global vehical safety realizes this was ongoing the second my family truck Traverse left the assembly with this important/urgent recall, especially the seat belt one. My family rode in this truck. No compensations just an appolgy, sure yah right great customer service. . . Ally owes me and chevy should pay my debt. . . The nerve!.

Pwer stering gives out, and the vehical is hard to turn and steer. Makes it hard to park or drive at slow speeds.
