Description of the problem | With under 30,000 miles on our vehicle, we need a new power steering pump. The power steering will stop working a various times. All under the speed for 20 mph. This seems slightly harmless because of the lack of speed, but let me tell you the dangers. My husband seems to have no issues when the power steer pump stops working, but i have issues with it. When trying to park i have almost hit car parked beside me because i can not crank on the wheel hard enough. When trying to back out i almost side swiped cars parked next to me for the same reason. Today because i could not crank the steering wheel hard enough. This caused me to hit the cart coral at our local market. Researching what the issue could been, in many forums you see a constant flow of power steering pump issues in many of the traverses with less than 30. 000 miles on them. This is such a safety issue and there should be a recall. There has to be an issue with the manufactured power steering pump. |
