Power Steering Pump problems of the 2015 GMC Acadia

Took vehicle into a GMC dealership for service air bag issue that was covered under a special GMC coverage. Dealership found an issue with the power steering and pump had to be replaced due to moderate leak, mileage 65366 on 11/7/19. Vehicle is only 4 years old and all maintenance completed on time at a GMC leadership. Extended warranty ended in September 2019. This has been an ongoing problem GMC issue for years according to complaints on the internet. The power steering pump on a 4 year old car should not have to be replaced. Called GMC customer service number and they called the dealership to give me a cost discount. Case number from GMC is 9-562-8743162. I had to pay almost $900 on an issue that GMC knew about. I was lucky the issues was identified at this appointment and not when driving. GMC should have a special coverage on this issue just like the service air bag issue.

It has been since I bought the vehicle . . . Gas gauge is intermittent and cross traffic alerts go off randomly (with no traffic or obstructions) paint has had to be redone leather replaced trim redone etc. . . The car almost killed me and my children, I'm driving down the freeway at 70mph and suddenly I lost control of the vehicle it slowed down to 49 then 25 lost steering and able to drift to the side before the whole vehicle started shaking violently and I shut it down as I believed it would explode (I was terrified) I called a dealer and they asked if I turned it off and on again ? engine light came on traction control would not renegade and message said decreasing power to engine while it was happening and abs light on . . . All failures. . . Managed to get to destination but vehicle was sluggish and jumping gears felt really jerky. . . 4th start all lights disappeared and although car was still sluggish figured might have been an electrical fault made appointment for dealership told it would cost . . . Parker car drove other vehicle then had to use this one and same thing happened again so took to dealership they couldn't figure out the codes was told had broken engine mount (said it was on backorder as it's been happening a lot) and was sent on my way to see if it would happen again. That weekend it happened again had figured out by then that 5-7 starts it would act up. Took to dealership and left running so they could see what was wrong (failed transmission, steering column block pump sensor etc replaced. Was given a rental GMC by herts and you guess it same thing on freeway all the lights on the dash start lighting up failed traction eas and breaks (super scary brand new only 600 miles on that car) switched out vehicle for a safer car (Toyota) I'm unable to check more boxes but speed and control were also affected.

When sharp turning at slow speeds, hear metal grinding. No lights on dash. Check under car and see leak at power steering. Not line but it is the pump. Level was empty but no lights come on. Look up this problem and see it is very common with hundreds of complaints including accidents from pump going out completely with no warning. No recall but hundreds of complaints for a 2015 vehicle is horrible. Mine has way less than 100,000 miles on it. Now I am having to take it to be repaired for $1000-$1500 because of warranty not covering it and no recall. This is dangerous and lives are at stake because steering will go out completely. We travel a lot with our 3 children for travel soccer on major highways going high speed limits and could have been killed or seriously injured if we didn't notice like others that didn't.

Car has 40k miles on it. Past month it started to become so hard to turn the wheel in parking lots and turns, that we were concerned for safety. Told power steering pump needs replacing.

I have repeatedly been having problems with my power steering in my 2015 GMC Acadia. I have spent nearly $2000 having two power steering lines replaced, as well as having the power steering fluids flushed. Neither repair has corrected my problems. The power steering becomes very stiff at low speed�s, for example in parking lots. In addition the steering is very noisy and makes a whining noise at low speeds. My service garage indicated I may need a new power steering pump (another $1500) . . . My vehicle only has 70,000 miles. I've seen many similar complaints and know that gm has recalled some other models for this issue. When will the 2015 Acadia be added to the list?.
