Consumer Description

I ORIGINALLY TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER TO REPLACE THE TIMING CHAIN. WHEN I GOT THE VEHICLE BACK THE POWER STEERING WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE. THE DEALER SAID THE POWER STEERING WAS FINE. APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS LATER I TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR RECALLS AND LEAKING COOLANT. POWER STEERING STILL LOUD. TECH FOUND LEAK FROM RACK AND PINION. I AM GLAD THAT MY STEERING DID NOT FAIL LIKE OTHER COMPLAINTS. I WAS LUCKY THAT MY VEHICLE HAD A COOLANT LEAK AND THE TECH FOUND THE LEAKING RACK AND PINION WHILE FIXING THE COOLANT LEAK. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE EACH DAY WITH MY 3 KIDS AND HAVING THE STEERING FAIL WHILE IN TRAFFIC COULD HAVE BEEN HORRIBLE. IT IS OBVIOUS THIS IS AN ISSUE IN THE 2009 TRAVERSE AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
