NHTSA Complaint #10487167 — 2008 GMC ACADIA

POWER STEERING IS FAILING, THIS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM ACROSS THE ENTIRE GM "LAMBDA" PLATFORM AND SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL. AFFECTED PARTS ARE THE POWER STEERING PUMP AND STEERING RACK, CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM ACCORDING TO GM WAS USE OF INCORRECT FLUID FROM THE FACTORY. THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE PUMP AND THE RACK ($2,000) AND UPGRADE THE FLUID TO DEXTRON VI. FOR GM TO EXPECT OUT OF WARRANTY CUSTOMERS TO BE ON THE HOOK FOR THE HIGH COST OF THIS REPAIR IS COMPLETELY UNFAIR AND UNACCEPTABLE. *TR
