NHTSA Complaint #10959005 — 2011 BUICK ENCLAVE

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR INSPECTION OF STEERING GEAR AND LOW FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. SEAL ON DRIVER SIDE WAS LEAKING CAUSING FLUID TO COLLECT IN AND AROUND BOOT. THERE IS A TSB / NON MANDATORY RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING PUMP. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY/ RACK & PINION. IN THE PROCESS OF INSTALLING THE STEERING GEAR THE FRONT STRUTS APPARENTLY LOCKED IN PLACE NOW THEY HAVE TO BE REPLACED. ALL WORK IS BEING REPAIRED AT A DEALERSHIP. FROM WHAT I READ ONLINE THE STEERING GEAR SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE BUICK ENCLAVE. ANY FEEDBACK WOULD BE WELCOMED.
