Grinding noise came from steering column. Dealer replaced steering gear under warranty. Noise came back at 47,535 miles and dealer replaced steering housing in a kit. Power steering pump needed to be replaced at this time.
The vechile was becoming difficult to turn and could hear clicking noise when turning. The steering was becoming increasingly stiff. When I took it to the dealership they stated they the rubbing noise was from the steering gear, also power steering pressure very low causing the stiffness. Diagnosis result need to replace the steering gear and the power steering pump and do a power steering flush and a 4 wheel aligment with an estimated repair cost of $2074. 05. There appears to be multiple complaints regarding the same issuses, is there any recall available to help with this repair?.
Intermittent loss of power steering while attempting a turn while braking. This happened 1 to 4 times per days for several weeks before bring the car in for diagnosis and repair. This required a replacement of the power steering pump, gear, and fluid. Prior to experiencing these problems there was constant audible noise whenever the steering wheel was turned. When the power steering failed it was difficult to successfully complete the turn, though I never had any collisions.
The steering makes an awful noise when turning. This is usually at low speeds. This same problem was corrected while it was under warranty at the dealership. However, now I am past the mileage warranty and nothing will be done. I have contacted GMC several times and there were no suggestions. This is very disappointing seeing that it has been less than a year since the part was replaced under warranty.
