Steering problem #1

Car stalls when making a right turn. I started my car and tried to turn right and continuously stalled until my car was done turning.

Steering problem #2

My car completely shut down while turning a corner (powered off). I almost hit a tree because I was unable to turn the steering wheel. Once I applied the brake and put it into park, I was able to restart it with no apparent issue.

Steering problem #3

The contact owned a 2014 GMC Terrain. The contact stated that while driving approximately 20 mph and making a right turn, the steering wheel seized. As a result, the contact crashed into another vehicle that was a stop sign. It was unknown if a police report was filed and there were no injuries sustained. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 14,248.

Steering problem #4

When driving at very low speed there is a creaking sound which seems to be coming from the front side on the bottom. GMC has a service bulletin #pi1314:creak/poptype noise from right front of vehicle during low speed maneuvers-(sept. 17,2014). The fix involves ripping up carpet and cutting a hole approx. 1 ft. Square in front wall of interior. The seat has to be removed . The blower motor has to be removed. The right side front console trim plate and body hinge trim panel, then cutting a huge hole in the wall. I had a 2011 Terrain, which I purchased new and I never experienced this problem. The noise is unacceptable for a brand new vehicle.
