Powere steering failed . During low speed turns, then recovered and acted normally for awhile. Similar problem occurred a few days later and since then has been happening intermittently. This will be a very serious safety issue if it happens when entering or exiting a highway or turning into a two way street. I have read multiple similar reports (over 100 within a year or so} almost all stating that the dealers are not sure what is causing this problem except to attempt to replace various power steering components with varying degrees of success.
Power steering failure. It is intermittent. It is extremely dangerous. Gm knows there is a problem. The Acadia is in the shop to be fixed. Nhtsa must investigate.

The power steering fails at low speed turns, approximately 2-30 mph. . With the failure, it is not possible to safely operate the vehicle. Upon recovery of the power steering, I nearly lose control from overcompensation for trying to turn the wheel with all my strength. Extremely dangerous and unpredictable. There are too many complaints with GMC and the ntsha to continue without a recall.

Power steering failure. At speeds between 0-40 mph the power steering goes out causing a very dangerous situation. Typically at low speeds like turning into a parking spot, but it has occurred as high as 40 mph while going around a sharp turn on-ramp to access the freeway. Even worse yet is when the power steering quits and you are man-handling the steering wheel and the power steering kicks back in causing you to swerve resulting in a very dangerous situation. No recall on this is crazy with the number of complaints filed by doing a simple internet search. What is gm thinking? yet, they will do a recall on windshield wipers that may break when a vehicle is jump started with ice buildup on the windshield. I know around here the Acadia platform is the most popular selling vehicle that chevy/GMC sells. How about recalling something that could potentially kill passengers and other drivers? sure they will fix it if you are fortunate enough to have the failure while still under warranty. If not, the costs are very excessive!.
At low speeds the power steering system fails and you can't turn the vehicle. This happens pulling out into the street or into a parking spot. It has progressively gotten worse over the course of a year and the dealerships can't figure it out. They just want to change parts costing up to 2k and won't ensure me that it will be fixed. They are seeing it on many Acadia's and enclave's and this vehicle needs to be recalled due to this before someone is injured or killed. I am worried about my wife and family being in a vehicle that won't turn. Just reviewing the complaints on this website, I can't believe that the government has not done something yet. Take a look at the GMC Acadia blog or owners site and you will see lots more complaints exactly like this one. Please do something.

I bought my GMC Acadia in December of 2009. A few days in I noticed a whirring sound in turning. I was told by the dealership that it was normal, a design flaw with brushes in the steering column. June 20110 entire electrical motherboard failed, six months later the water pump failed. Brought the car in 3 times for airbag lights. I sensor was replaced then I was told to just "keep something heavy in the seat". For eight months abs and brake light chimed with nothing wrong. I reported that the air conditioner was not cooling only to be told it was all good, of course until the warranty was out then a repair of $600. Now that so called design flaw and whirring noise has turned into power steering failure an leak in power steering rack , !000 repair not covered by the recall of power steering pump. Unreal. What a bunch of crooks. The worst part is the GMC dealers pretend they know nothing about any issues and accept responsibility for nothing all. I am sure it is a protocol to delay and major diagnosis until a warranty is expired.
