2010 Chevy Traverse lost power steering while being driven by son. Initial failure occurred at street speeds. The car could be steered without power but it was difficult at low speeds. Dealer was informed of sounds when the vehicle had less than 100,000 miles but nothing was done. The car currently has 133,000 miles (2-3 years after sounds reported to dealer).

I took my car to the dearler in waldorf Maryland when I went to pick up my car I noticed the front end was down, I drove like I was on a tractor. It was not this way when I dropped it off. I have 3 different people that can vouch for this. The dealer ship nor GM will give me an answer. The asst ser mgt said if the mechanic failed to say something he apologized. When on the phone with GM the dealer ship would not talk to me on the phone for an explaintion but said we did nothing to your car but would not ralk on the phone only proving to be hiding something of the truth.

There have been so many things wrong with car since we bought brand new in 2010 from the complete fuel system replaced to 3 entire brakes replaced, to transmission slipping, to tracktion stilbility control lights failing, to power steering pump, to faulty control box issues, replacement of window shield wiper motor, air conditioning/heating module. Most of this under warranity or not covered still at all in first 4 years of owning this car. Its literally a pile of junk. So many safety issues that GM wont list as a recall. People have been killed but still fail do anything. The dealer ship here in waldorf md, to conceal what they did lately to my car in damaging the front shocks and struts wouldnt even get on the phone with a conference call with me instead refused to talk to me and also ban me from the dealership which leads to more suspicion that they are hiding the truth that they did something to damage my car. This is the only dealer in town too. This isn't the first complaint. Dont buy this car. Nothing but problems, a lemon.

Check engine light displays then engine power reduced warning comes on, causing the vehicle to slow at any time (very dangerous when on the freeway). The throttle needle and car shakes and car will cut off and stall to turn on again.

Power steering stopped working while parking at low speed. Took the car to a Chevy dealer and they couldn't find anything diagnostically wrong with it. Very disconcerting.

Power steering and timing chain failed in vehicle at 74K miles. There are several complaints regarding the same issues from other owners of this vehicle. General Motors has not accepted responsibility for this issue which has been widely reported. While in motion on November 4, 2017, our vehicle became difficult to maneuver eventually shutting off. Upon trying to restart the vehicle we heard a grinding sound. We immediately pushed the vehicle to a near by reputable repair shop. Upon their evaluation it was determined the timing chain was faulty and needed to be replaced. We contacted General Motors to inform them of the issue, they responded by having us to tow our vehicle to don brown Chevrolet in saint louis Missouri. General Motors asked us to authorize don brown to "break down" the vehicle in which we agreed. We were then informed because of a cost analysis being performed by General Motors and don brown, a break down of the vehicle was not necessary and nothing would be done by the manufacturer to repair the power steering or timing chain. It is widely reported old timing chains were installed in 2009-2011 Chevy Traverse which has led to several engine failures and inoperable vehicles of consumers across the country. It is irresponsible for General Motors to have not issued a recall on these vehicles with timing chains that stretch and cause engine damage. General Motors has placed a hardship on families when they refuse to cover the very expensive cost of these repairs. We purchased our vehicle less than 2 years ago from a Chevy dealer and to have it to become impossible to steer and shut off in traffic is very dangerous and needs to be investigated. General Motors has not offered any relief with an issue known to them.being out of warranty and not purchasing an extended warranty should exclude defects as in the ones stated in this complaint.

Everytime when the steering wheel is turned, it makes a grinding noise. It keeps getting worse. Even when the steering wheel is barely turned.

After taking my vehicle in to have my oil replaced at the dealership, as I was leaving I began to experience trouble turning the steering wheel. Went to another dealership to have my vehicle looked at in route home, and was told the power steering pump and the wheel (pulley) may need to be replaced but to wait because they have over 80 2010 Traverse owners with the identical problem and GM is aware of this so lets hope soon this will be recalled to have fixed at no cost to me. It's been over two weeks and I have yet to read or hear about this issue being recalled for service repairs. I can't turn left or right at slow speeds or when parking without placing a hard strain on my back trying to turn the steering wheel. Please GM do something about this serious vehicle safety issue soon!! I can't even drive on the highway of fear this will cause me to crash and it is my only reliable transportation.

The steering rack on this vehicle went making it impossible to steer. This has been the case in many of these vehicles of this year. Prior years of this make and model have been recalled for the same issue but as of yet the 2010 has not. They replaced my steering pump and told me the rack was gone and would be 1700 to replace. The car cannot be driven as it is unsafe. The timing chain is also gone which is another issue with this make and model that Chevrolet is not dealing with. Although this does not render the vehicle unsafe it is overall a very badly designed vehicle. My major issue is the safety and read many many complaints on this make and model. I can no longer use the vehicle as it is unsafe to drive and a serious financial hardship. I bought this car in good faith according to the safety rating to Transport my grandchildren and friends and it is now unsafe and unable to be driven. I am hoping for a recall of this vehicle as I have read that I am not the only one dealing with this situation. Thank you.

At low speeds turning left or right the steering locks up and is difficult to turn. Cannot always make a turn as expected and must make wide turn into on-coming traffic but usually able to stop in time. Happens randomly. Has been happening since we bought the car @ 1 year.

Power steering fails without warning when making turns, particularly at low speeds. Then as quickly as it fails, it will return again. The car now has 120,000 miles on it, but this issue started when it only had 50,000 miles on it, and was just out of warrantee. 3 different mechanics including the dealership and they have said they have no idea what the problem is as the power steering pump is working properly and the power steering reservoir is properly filled. The dealer actually told us 'it's just time for a new car guys.' We have spoken in person to two other owners of Traverses and they describe the exact same problem.

- Hoover, AL, USA

Having problem with my steering wheel on my 2010 Traverse. Every time I turn especially when I'm trying to park the steering wheel is very hard to turn like if the vehicle had no steering fluid. It's problem that lots of owner with the same model have and I think GM should make this a recall.

- Pacoima, CA, USA

The problem with this vehicle is loss of power steering when driving at low to speed especialy when turning in either direction. I started having this problem at around 80 K miles and its getting progressively worse. Now it does this when not driving. I took it to the dealer where I purchaced this vehicle., jba Chevrolet in glen burnie, md. I was told that Chevrolet was not coveing the cost of the power steering pump or the rack and pinion even though there are hundreds of travese owners with this same problem. This is truely a safety issue, not knowing when you could lose the ability to steer.!!!! and in my case at any speed.

Power steering stiffens when parking or going around curbs at low speeds. Almost hit vehicles in a parking garage caused by this issue. This issue has been occurring since the Traverse had 52K miles.
