POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION SEALS ARE LEAKING AT 75000 MILES AS NOTED AT GM DEALER DURING ROUTINE SERVICE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THROUGH A RECALL

NOTICED A WHINING NOISE IN MY STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS "NORMAL". NOT BEING SATISFIED WITH THIS TOOK IT IN AND INSISTED THEY CHECK IT. I WAS THEN TOLD THE RACK AND PINION IS FAILING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE COST WOULD BE $2000. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND IT ONLY HAS 41,000 MILES ON IT. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE PAID BY GM SINCE THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AND VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I WILL NO LONGER BUY ANYTHING BUILT BY GM IF THIS IS HOW THEY TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS. I PAID $53,000 AND I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE THIS CAR FOR A FEW MORE YEARS. I GUESS NOT.

CAR SPUTTERED WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED OR PULLING OFF FROM STANDING STILL AND LOST POWER AND THEN STOPPED COMPLETELY. COULD NOT TURN WHEEL. TRACTION OFF - STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON. TOWED TO DEALER - DEALER THOUGHT THEY REPAIRED. NEXT DAY SAME THING HAPPENED BUT NO DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. TOWED AGAIN TO DEALER - NOW IT NEEDS ENGINE HARNESS AND GM PART IS ON BACK ORDER WITH NO DATE FOR RELEASE IN FUTURE. CANNOT GET PART ANYWHERE. CANNOT DRIVE CAR.

WENT TO MY DEALER FOR NOISY STEERING AND WAS INFORMED THE STEERING RACK WAS LEAKING AFTER 34,000 MILES. WAS TOLD REPAIR WOULD BE 1700.00. AFTER READING FORUMS ONLINE FOUND OUT THIS COULD CAUSE ME TO LOOSE MY POWER STEERING. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL .

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AT 70 MPH, VEHICLE RPMS JUMPED UPWARD THEN ENGINE SHUTDOWN, HAVING TO DRIFT OUT OF 70 MPH TRAFFIC ONTO SHOULDER OF HIGHWAY. REQUESTED ASSISTANCE FROM TOWING COMPANY, COULD NOT JUMP VEHICLE TO START. DEALER STATED THAT TIMING CHAINS HAD JUMP OR HAS SLACK AND SET OFF SEVERAL DTC'S PREVENTING A NO START!

MY 2011 BUICK ENCLAVE ONLY HAS 57000 MILES ON IT. IT COST ME $1200.00 TO GET REPAIRED. THERE IS A "CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT" FILED AGAINST GM FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. GM SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES LISTED IN THE LAW SUIT AND REPAIR THEM FREE OF CHARGE.
