At low speeds, power steering goes out intermittently. Dangerous at intersections, exit ramps and stop signs when sharp turns are needed.

I contacted GM and they are contacting the dealer where I purchased my 2010 Traverse. Having the car only 6 months and found the steering was locking up called dealer and they checked out the car, needs power steering fluid because its leaking and the steering gear box needs replaced. 1,310 just to fix the car. Why is there no recall"? I have small children and we bought this for a family vehicle. Now I shouldn't even be driving it and how will I get to work" something needs to be done. Atleast Toyota fixes there vehicles at no cost to the customer. GM cant even do anything for there's just take there money.

When traveling at slow speeds(parking lots, turning in/out of streets) the steering will become very hard to turn or lock up and then comes back. This is an extreme safety issue when trying to pull into traffic or turn across traffic. I have teenage drivers and this is not acceptable!

- Glasgow, KY, USA

While driving/turning at slow speeds (20-30 mph) or in parking lots the power steering quits. There is no warning and then it starts working again. So off and on would best describe it. The first incident was terrifying because I was driving in the rocky mountains going around hair-pin curves and the steering went out, but then came back. My whole family was in the vehicle! what if I could not make the turn and we drove off the mountain side? this is a very serious problem! I took it to the dealership and they said maybe it was the fluid and added more and that there is no recall. The problem is not fixed. I am not a happy Chevrolet owner right now. Please figure out the problem and have a recall before someone dies.

Power steering failure at low speeds. Happens when turning from a stop at intersections and making low speed turns. Very scary situation. Multiple occurrences, spoke with shop and was told these vehicles have a lot of power steering problems. Very expensive fix.

- Eudora, KS, USA

While driving in a parking lot I heard high pitched squealing from steering. Then all of a sudden I could not turn to left or right. Luckily parking lot was not to crowded and I was able to park. Once in park I tried to shut off vehicle but was unable to remove key from ignition. After minutes of messing with it I finally got the key out. Since then I still hear squealing and steering is different. I noticed my car was leaking something and told my husband who took my car to dealership. They said I need a new gear box. I don't even have 27000 miles on my Traverse and have already had to replace the O2 sensors now this. I really liked this car but I don't have the money to be paying for this lemon!!! I went online and in several other states there are class action lawsuits for this same problem. This is a huge safety issue. Please help or direct me in what I should do. Thanks

I bought this car as a used vehicle in 2010 with approximately 29,000 miles on it. I first begin noticing steering was an issue June of 2013 when driving at a slow speed and turning into the driveway or parking lots. I thought it was my alignment and went and had the tires rotated and aligned and it still continued to be hard to steer. It has gone from gradual to dangerous!!!! December of 2013 went to nc and had to drive on some very steep hills with very sharp curves and several times it was almost impossible to negotiate the turns. Went and had the power steering fluid checked and it was fine. January of 2014 had the power steering fluid checked again and was still fine. The steering still continued to get worse with faster and slower mph rates. March of 2014 (I had my 10 year old daughter with me) while negotiating a curve at approx. 30 mph I could not get the wheel to turn to the left and almost went through the guardrail on the right and into a creek. I had a semi truck behind me that almost hit me as well. I finally got it turned in the nick of time. It really scared myself and my daughter. God was with us that day. On April 12, 2014 while having plenty of time to make a left hand turn from a main road onto a secondary road the steering went out again and in the meantime a car was coming from the opposite way and almost T-boned the vehicle with my daughter in the passenger seat. This steering issue is a daily continuing thing regardless of which way I turn or the speed. Something has to be done regarding this before accidents results in fatalities. My tires on my vehicle are only 14 months old and worn out in the front from where it is so hard to turn (and the tires on this type of car are not cheap)

My 2010 Traverse power steering went completely out. Still not working. My truck tends to roll some after being in park on the brakes. My windows power doesn't work thru driver door. My ac stop blowing thru front vents. My seatbelts doesnt work properly. My second row pops up and glide while sitting in the seat. This truck has many problems.

- De Kalb, MS, USA

Vehicle looses power steering at low speeds while turning on multiple occasions. If turning into parking spot, into traffic, or performing a U-turn steering gets extremely difficult nearly causing multiple incidents with no warning. Afraid to let my wife drive this vehicle much longer since it's designed for families with children. Unacceptable when looking online and finding multiple customers having same issue.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Traverse. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph, the power steering failed without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician diagnosed that the steering pump and rack and pinion needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The failure and current mileage was 33,000.

I purchased a used 2010 Chevy Traverse in January 2013 and 6 months later heard a whining noise in the vehicle. Had a local Chevy dealer check the issue and they said there was a leak in the rack and pinion. Cost to fix was $1,600 and there was nothing the dealer would do to assist with costs because the warranty was expired. I could not spend that kind of money at that time and considering I just purchased the vehicle used 6 months prior it made me angry. I have yet to fix the problem and had it evaluated again by a different shop...same cost $1,600. Very frustrating!!! was this a recall in 2011" any ideas on what to do" I am looking for assistance to contact GM for covering this issue.

- Rochester, NY, USA

The steering locks up when turning left or right at very low speeds such as when turning a corner or pulling into a parking space. I would have hoped by now GM would have issued a recall given the potentially dangerous implications of not being able to steer your car. Clearly, this is a known and growing issue.

- Naperville, IL, USA

Power steering goes out intermittently at low rates of speed, while trying to make turns, can not turn the steering wheel when it does this, I have taken my Traverse to the local dealership 3 times but because it's out of warranty they want me to pay $1000 for parts plus labor charges to have the rack & pinion as well as the power steering pump fixed. I called GM directly 800-222-1020 and asked why so many complaints have been made but there hasn't been a recall issue & they said that people aren't reporting this issue through the dealership, so I suggest that if you have a Traverse with these problems you contact your local GM dealer asap!!!!! hopefully we can get some assistance with the prices of this!

- Boles, AR, USA

Loses power steering at very low speeds such as turning into parking spaces. Almost impossible to turn steering wheel. Power resumes when you accelerate.

- Three Rivers, MI, USA

Steering intermittently looses power causing steering wheel to jerk and making steering difficult. Vehicle then begins to veer out of lane. Power steering pump constantly "whines". manufacturer contacted stated not covered by warranty. Through internet research this is an extremely common problem with the Traverse vehicle.

When you try to steer the automobile it becomes no power steering.........impossible to turn the wheel at all........you must stop & keep trying to turn it......& sometimes you cannot turn when your moving....I am scared when it stops that I will hit someone head on.....very dangerous......my dealership is trying to charge me $1700 to repair what is GMC's faulty equipment....this is a detriment to anyone driving this Chevy Traverse....I have told them & they are stalling the repair...........waiting for a recall that you "GMC" are putting off..........I have revised my will to state that if I am killed in an automobile accident to look to the maker GMC of this car................it's time to fess up to the repairs that need to be done for the public safety of this Chevy Traverse.................I am 71 years old & you are responsible for your product........................................

This is an update to my earlier complaint of intermittent sudden loss of power steering making turns at low speeds. I was able to reliably recreate the loss of power assist following this procedure: Finding an empty lot, turn vehicle and hold at slow speed (under 10mph) and continue in complete circles. Eventually, power assist will kick off and making any turns will require significant effort. Bringing the vehicle to higher speeds (25-35 mph) appears to reset. My vehicle is currently in shop for replacement of power steering pump as this was the dealership service department's diagnosis even though I informed them of the ability to induce vehicle as described above. I will update this complaint if power steering replacement does not correct issue.

Power steering goes out intermittently, primarily at low speeds. The vehicle can not be controlled for low speed steering, pump has been checked and dealer said it is electronic but not certain.
