NHTSA Complaint #11010348 — 2009 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN THE PAST YEAR, THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT IN MY 2009 CHEVY TRAVERSE WHILE I AM DRIVING. ON TWO OCCASIONS, IT WAS RAINING AND MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AS I WAS TURNING - BOTH INSTANCES ON A CITY STREET. THE THIRD INSTANCE WAS ON A CITY STREET (IN A NEIGHBORHOOD) AND THE POWER STEERING AGAIN WENT OUT AS I WAS GOING AROUND A TURN. THERE WAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER ON THE ROAD BUT IT WAS NOT RAINING AT THE TIME. IN ALL THREE INSTANCES, THE VEHICLES WAS IN MOTION, TURNING, AND ON A CITY STREET. IT IS UNKNOWN TO ME WHAT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS, BUT QUITE SCARY WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THE LAST TWO INCIDENTS WERE CLOSE TOGETHER AND WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS (DURING JULY 2017).
