2011 GMC Acadia Steering Problems

“At slow speeds my steering gets very hard as if I have no power steering at all. Very difficult to parallel park. Loud whining sound as I turn the steering wheel. Numerous times when driving on either highway or city street..changing lanes has been difficult and manual steering was needed.”

“I have a 2011 Gmc Acadia at 43,000 miles it was brought to the dealer with a steering noise, which I was hearing when making turns in the vehicle. I was told that it is leaking from the steering rack and this was not covered under warranty and was quoted a price of $1,179 for it to be replaced. I have searched and found this to be a common problem with the Acadia's.”

“I was driving down the road with almost 1/2 a tank of gas, and I lost power suddenly, and had no control over my vehicle because the power steering and everything quit. Because I am fairly strong, I was actually able to turn off the road into a safe place, and not be stranded on a very busy two lane road. After having the car towed to paul's automotive garage, I was advised that the vehicle was out of gas.”

“The power steering stops working when trying to park or moving at a slow speed. I am in good shape and it takes me all my power with two hands to turn the steering wheel. There is no warning it catches you off guard and multiple times almost hit cars in spots next to where I park. We also have had the air conditioning fixed twice since we've bought it and still doesn't blow as cold as it should. The car has 78,000 miles.”

“Powersteering gets tight and vehicle shakes. Brought to dealer and powersteering pump and gear is leaking fluid. The GM dealer told me that the powersteering part is covered but will not cover the fluid leaking and I am responsible for $500 payment. Brake pedal squeaks when pressed down. Gm dealer informed that the brake is leaking and needs a brake fluid flush and a new brake booster.”
