Consumer Description
MY POWER STEERING HAS MADE A HIGH PITCHED NOISE FOR SOME TIME NOW. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER RECEIVING A LETTER WHICH ADDRESSED POTENTIAL POWER STEERING FAILURE I WAS TOLD THAT THE ONLY WAY IT WOULD BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE WAS IF I HAD POWER STEERING FAILURE. I JUST TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC FOR A SEPARATE ISSUE AND HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAS SERVICED SEVERAL ACADIA'S WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ENGINEERING DEFECT. IN RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I AM FINDING MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. DOES THERE HAVE TO BE A DEATH OR POTENTIALLY MULTIPLE DEATHS FROM THIS DEFECT BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED? IT WOULD SEEM THAT TOTAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE WOULD BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
