Description of the problem | Gmc acadia power steering unit went out, lost ability to turn at low speeds and the steering locked up while backing up. I took the suv to the gmc dealer and i was told that gmc has had problems with their power steering units in the 2009 - 2013 year models and there was an an extended warranty on that class of suv. Their is a class action lawsuit over the issue and gmc has extended their warranty, but it is so restrictive that gmc will do nothing about the problem. Gmc needs to issue a recall for the power steering unit before someone is killed. |
