NHTSA Complaint #10572552 — 2011 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND ATTEMPTING TO TURN ONTO A BUSY STREET. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND I ALMOST WAS HIT BY A CAR GOING 35 MILES BECAUSE I WASN'T ABLE TO TURN INTO THE RIGHT HAND LANE. BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL BARELY MOVED, I TURNED INTO THE LEFT LANE OF THE STREET. THIS HAPPENED 3 MORE TIMES BEFORE I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE SHOP. IT SEEMS THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING IN MANY CHEVROLET TRAVERSES (AS SEEN BY THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, AGUILAR V. GENERAL MOTORS). I HAD TO PAY THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX MY CAR AND PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR WHILE IT WAS GETTING FIXED. I AM WORRIED THIS PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE AS IT HAS IN MULTIPLE CHEVROLET TRAVERSES MANUFACTURED IN THE SAME YEAR. I BELIEVE MY CAR IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE FOR MY FAMILY TO BE IN AND BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FULLY FIX THIS POWER STEERING ISSUE. *TR
