Consumer Description

SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED MY ACADIA 2 YEARS AGO MY POWER STEERING PUMP STARTED WHINING. WHEN THE BELT OR PUMP GETS WET THE POWER STEERING ITSELF GOES OUT UNEXPECTEDLY FOR A FEW SECONDS. I HAVE HAD THE SYSTEM FLUSHED THINKING MAYBE JUST AIR BUBBLES... IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR 2-3 DAYS AND RIGHT BACK TO ITS SAME ROUTINE AGAIN! ITS IRRITATING READING EVERYONE ELSE COMPLAINTS WITH THEIR 13' ACADIA POWER STEERING ISSUES AND GM HAS STILL NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
