NHTSA Complaint #10920422 — 2014 GMC ACADIA

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY 4 CHILDREN IN THE CAR. AS I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY I SUDDENLY LOST ALL ABILITY TO STEER MY CAR. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A BIG RIG BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND NO INDICATOR LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED ON MY DASHBOARD. THE CAR WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER AT SLOWER SPEEDS. I WAS PUT IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. MY CAR ONLY HAS 45,000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS MY WARRANTY IS ONLY GOOD FOR 36,000 MILES. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THIS IS A VERY COMMON DEFECT WITH GMC ACADIA VEHICLES AND THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL AND THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR JUST AFTER THEIR STANDARD WARRANTY ENDS. THE STEERING PUMP IS DEFECTIVE AND THE COST TO FIX IS OVER $2,000. *TR
