Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A USED 2012 CHEVY TRAVERSE WITH ONLY 34,000 MILES ON IT. AFTER OWNING THE CAR FOR A MONTH I NOTICED A STRANGE NOISE WHEN MAKING SHARP RIGHT HAND TURNS AT LOW SPEED (LESS THAN 20 MPH). UPON EXAMINING THE CAR I FOUND POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKING FROM THE STEERING GEAR. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE STEERING GEAR AND FRONT STRUTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.
