Description of the problem	I have a 2010 gmc acadia. Several months ago i received the gm special coverage extended warrant letter # 14329. At that time, i had already noticed extreme difficulty in turning the wheel at low rates of speed and brushed it off as probably needing power steering fluid i also noticed a "whining" noise along with this action. I began to worry as the matter kept worsening and already still had trauma from a prior accident in 2010 which left me to purchase this vehicle in 2011 which i thought would be a more safe stable vehicle for me. Upon a few weeks later, while trying to make a left hand turn maneuver, the steering wheel completely "locked" up! Luckily, no oncoming traffic was in sight, otherwise, i would have been unable to get out of the way as i was in the middle of the highway! I immediately contacted the dealer and explained my issue and named the letter i had received a few months prior. Thus, an appointment was scheduled. I took my vehicle in on that specific day. The dealer contacts me to inform me that the pump was covered in the warrant but not the rack which they said was leaking on both sides (which is the most expensive part). My out of pocket expense of $1200. 00 after labor and the alignment!! All the parts of the power steering system should be paid for all expense by gm!! This is a tremendous safety issue and peoples lives are at danger! No one has $1200 to just drop on auto repair and i had to take out a loan!! What is gm waiting for hundreds of deaths?!! There's already a class action lawsuit filed gm 4-1-13. Gm needs to reimburse me and all others!! Gm's ceo's need to do a major recall and take care of their customers. This is no joke and an extreme hazard! I'm also filing a complaint with gm as well.
