Consumer Description

OUR 2009 GMC ACADIA'S POWER STEERING LOCKS UP AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND TYPICALLY ALWAYS WHEN THE WHEEL IS TURNED. ONCE THE WHEEL LOCKS IT REMAINS 'STUCK' FOR A LITTLE OVER 1 SECOND. WHILE THE WHEEL IS 'STUCK' IT CANNOT BE TURNED. THIS IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT ON THIS VEHICLE AND CREATES AN VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITION. A MECHANIC HAS DIAGNOSED THIS ISSUE AS A FAULTY RACK AND PINION. THE MECHANIC ALSO CLAIMED THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON ON THESE VEHICLES. I WAS SHOCKED THE FIRST TIME THE WHEEL BECAME STUCK WHILE I WAS DRIVING; IT INSTANTLY SENT ME IN TO A PANIC. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR
