Consumer Description

I TOOK MY 2012 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE IN FOR A STANDARD OIL CHANGE TODAY AND THEY TELL ME THAT I HAVE A STEERING GEAR LEAK AT 34,000 MILES. I AM READING THAT MANY OTHERS ALSO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE COST TO FIX IS $1,375. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND GM SHOULD BE DOING A RECALL AND PAYING FOR THE REPAIR. I WAS GOING TO GO ON A FAMILY VACATION AND NOW NEED TO GET THIS FIXED FIRST.
