Consumer Description

VEHICLES 75,000 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING GARAGE, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT, VERY SUDDENLY, MAKING DRIVING VERY DIFFICULT AND VERY DANGEROUS. AFTER BRINGING MY VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO REPLACE BOTH THE STEERING PUMP AND RACK AND PINION. AFTER SOME READING, IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE FOR THE ACADIA THAT HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED FOR THIS MODEL YEAR. .
