“Shortly after purchasing my 2015 Buick Enclave the power steering pump had to be replaced. About 15k miles later, the power steering hose needs to be replaced. I have researching into this and it looks like this system has been faulty for numerous vehicles of this model. The person at the dealership told me this can cause a fire if left untreated. This is a major safety concern and should be looked into.”
