NHTSA Complaint #10761441 — 2008 BUICK ENCLAVE

WE WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER STEERING WHINING AND A BACK TIRE LOCKING UP WHEN WE TURNED RIGHT. WE HAD THE WHEEL BEARINGS, POWER STEERING PUMP, STRUTS AND ROTORS REPLACED. THE MECHANIC CALLED AFTER ALL OF THIS WORK AND SAID IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE BACK TIRE KEPT LOCKING UP AND PUTTING HIM INTO A SKID WHILE HE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. WE THEN HAD TO HAVE A YAW SENSOR REPLACED. WE'VE ONLY HAD IT BACK FOR A DAY AND ARE HOPING THE PROBLEM IS FIXED BUT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. THE TECHNICIAN TOLD US THAT WHEN THE ORIGINAL POWER STEERING PUMP IS REPLACED THE ABS SYSTEM CAN'T KEEP UP WHICH LOCKS YOUR TIRES WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION.
