Description of the problem	My chevy traverse was hard to steer, almost impossible to drive. I had fluid on my garage floor, luckily i live a mile from the dealer. After checking the vehicle they followed the leak and stated that i needed a new rack and pinion, power steering pump and then an alignment. Total bill $ 2,600 and they were not sure if this fix would the problem. They stated that they never saw such a problem in a vehicle that had less than 70,000 miles. Of course the original warranty had expired and the extended warranty. I bought the vehicle used. The dealer gave me the option of just doing the rack and pinion and taking my chances with the power steering pump. I declined all work and had my mechanic do the rack and pinion and it was still not cheap. And i had to go to midas to get the alignment. However the vehicle still whines and turns are still hard, you would think that a vehicle that cost over $30k would be built better.... I believe i have had 3 recalls and i am waiting on parts for another one. A co-worker told me the same exact issue with his late model traverse and class action suits..... How many people have to have this issue or die before a recall is made. I am concerned that i will be in a situation and not able to control the vehicle.
