Consumer Description

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM UNION PARK GMC DEALERSHIP IN WILMINGTON DELWARE ON 7/24/15. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC ON 7/27/15 AFTER NOTICIG A WHINNING NOISE WHEN STEERING AT LOW SPEEDS. HE RECOMMENDED RETURNING OIT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THE DEALER MADE NO REPAIR AND CLAIMED "ALL THESE ACADIAS HAVE THIS WHINING NOISE". I THEN TOOK IT TO MARYLAND STATE INSPECTION WHERE IT FAILED INSPECTION DUE TO "MOISTURE ON RACK", INDICATING A LEAK AND REPLACEMENT OF RACK REQUIRED TO PASS INSPECTION. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLAIMS IT VIEWED THE BOOT AND FOUND A STAIN AND REFERRED ME TO TSB # 3352321. HOWEVER, IT WAS NOT MADE CLEAR IF THEY ACTUALLY PULLED THE BOOT AND INSPECTED THE RACK AND INSIDE OF BOOT TO DETERMINE IF FLUID WAS ACCUMULATING INSIDE THE BOOT. THEY ALSO CLAIMED THEY DO NOT GUARANTEE VEHICLE WILL PASS INSPECTION. I DID NOTICE THAT WHEN THE DELAER RETURNED THE VEHICLE IT HAD ADDED POWER STERRING FLUID, RASING THE LEVEL FROM JUST BELOW MIN TO JUST ABOVE MAX LEVEL.
