Component | STEERING |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | When making turns with the car the steering completely gave away and was very hard to maneuver a turn correctly. Was taken to the garage who informed us that the rack and pinion was bad and the power steering column. Finding out that this is a issue with almost all gmc acadia's was very upsetting to learn. If this is a issue with that many of them why has there not yet been a recall on this. Since there is no recall i am stuck paying well over $1000. 00 to fix so that i can hopefully not have the same issue again. Gmc needs to do a buy back recall on these models as they are not safe. Thankful that i was alone at the time that this happened however could have very easily caused a major accident had i not noticed when i was sopped to make a turn. How many people need to be killed or hurt before they will fix. |
