Power Steering Failed problems of the 2007 GMC Acadia

The vehicle has two problems. The radio works, but there is no sound for the back up warning, turn signals or radio. This problem occurs in the GMC Acadia, Chevrolet traverse and the Buick enclave. The problem is likely the premature failure of the bcm or the amp. When driven in the rain, the power steering fails momentarily and it is very difficult to control the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2007 GMC Acadia. The power steering failed when it rained or whenever water was in the wheel well and made contact with the pulley. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. They stated that they could add a fender cover that would prevent water from splashing onto the power steering. The fender cover was not covered under the warranty and would cost the contact $200. The manufacturer was called and stated that they would contact the dealer to confirm the failure. The manufacturer also stated that they would call the contact with further details. The failure mileage was 38,000.

I purchased a new 2007 GMC Acadia in March 2007. In August 2008 (21,000 miles) I brought the car in because the power steering would sometimes fail, especially in the rain. Dealer performed new liners per maintenance bulletin 07-02-32-010. Returned car for service of the same problem October 2008 (28,000 miles) - dealer stated that they could not duplicate the problem. Returned the car again in may 2009 (35,000 miles) for intermittent loss of power steering. Dealer replaced the steering rack. Brought the car back the next day because the problem still occurred. Dealer replaced the power steering pump (was putting out half the required pressure).

The contact owns a 2007 GMC Acadia. While driving at any speed, the contact felt a vibration in the steering wheel and heard a grinding noise coming from the dashboard area of the vehicle. The steering wheel would lock up and made turning the vehicle very difficult. She took the vehicle to two dealers. The first dealer was unable to find any failures. The second dealer heard the noise and felt the vibration, but could not repair the failures. Weeks after the incident, she took the vehicle back to the dealer from where it was purchased and was informed that the power steering pump failed. The failure was deemed to be a severe safety hazard. The dealer has been unable to repair the failure and they currently have possession of the vehicle. The failure mileage was 3,000 and current mileage was 9,000.
