Consumer Description

I OWN A 2008 GMC ACADIA AND ON JAN 10. 2011 THE POWER STEERING FLUID HAD COMPLETELY SPILLED OUT FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE REPAIR MECHANIC SAID IT WAS THE POWER STEERING COOLER THAT HAD BEEN DEFECTIVE. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE FOR COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL I AM WONDERING WHY GMC IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR. LUCKILY I WAS NOT DRIVING OR WE COULD HAVE BEEN IN A BAD ACCIDENT. A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD AND ONLY 46,000 SHOULD NOT HAVE POWERS STEERING ISSUES. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS CONSUMERS ARE PAYING ALOT OF MONEY FOR REPAIRS THAT ARE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. IS IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE DYEING BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE. UNFORTUNATELY FOR US WE ARE STATIONED IN GERMANY AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO FIND SOMEONE TO REPAIR OUR VEHICLE AS WELL. *TR
