Description of the problem | I purchased a used 2012 chevy traverse with only 34,000 miles on it. After owning the car for a month i noticed a strange noise when making sharp right hand turns at low speed (less than 20 mph). Upon examining the car i found power steering fluid leaking from the steering gear. I took the car into the chevrolet dealership and was told that the steering gear and front struts needed to be replaced. |
