NHTSA Complaint #10607079 — 2010 BUICK ENCLAVE

MY CAR BECOMES HARD TO MANEUVER WHENEVER PULLING IN AND OUT OF PARKING SPACES AND MAKING TURNS AT LOW SPEEDS. THE STEERING STIFFNESS HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY TIGHTER. I FIRST NOTICED THIS ON A TRIP TO ST LOUIS WITH MY FAMILY, IT IS A FAMILY VEHICLE AND QUITE FRANKLY, I DON'T WANT TO RISK MY CHILDREN'S LIVES IN THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THE STEERING LOCKS UP SO TIGHTLY THAT I CAN BARELY TURN THE WHEEL, WHETHER IT IS MERGING INTO TRAFFIC OR GETTING INTO A PARKING SPACE OR MAKING A SLOW TURN ONTO A STREET. I HAVE HAD NEW BRAKES AND TIRES PUT ON THIS CAR LAST MONTH AND ASKED THE MECHANIC TO CHECK MY POWER STEERING FLUID AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING FLUID. *TR
