Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT SLOW SPEEDS 20 MPH OR LESS THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES. WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST HAPPENED WE CHECKED THE POWER STEERING FLUID AND MADE SURE IT WAS FULL. THEN IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND IT IS VERY HARD TO MUSCLE THE WHEEL IT BECOMES SO STIFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AS THESE ARE TYPICALLY FAMILY VEHICLES CARRYING CHILDREN. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE IT APPEARS THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF TRAVERSE OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS.
