OUR 2010 CHEVY TRAVERSE REQUIRED AN ENTIRELY NEW POWER STEERING SYSTEM AFTER 65K MILES AND 3 YEARS. IT REQUIRED $2500 WORTH OF REPAIR; A PUMP, GEAR, HOSE, CLAMP, AND FLUID. OUR CAR WAS ONE OF 4 TRAVERSES AND 2 ACADIA'S AT CENTURY CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP REQUIRING THE EXACT SAME REPAIR AT THE SAME TIME. ALSO, CONTACTING OTHER MECHANIC'S IN THE AREA IN AN ATTEMPT TO PRICE COMPARE, WE WERE TOLD THIS IS A KNOWN DESIGN FLAW IN THESE VEHICLES WITHIN THE AUTO REPAIR INDUSTRY WHICH GM HAS YET TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT. THE INTERNET IS RAMPANT WITH A MULTITUDE OF RELATED STORIES OF POWER STEERING ISSUES IN THESE VEHICLES. A RECALL SHOULD BE REQUIRED OF GM TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE. *TR
