Consumer Description

THE POWER STEERING FAILS ON TURNS WITH NO WARNING. FROM WHAT I READ THIS IS COMMON ON BUICK ENCLAVES. I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT FROM THE POWER STEERING FAILURE. ONCE I WAS ON A 55 MPH HIGHWAY CHANGING LANES WHEN IT FAILED, THE REST ARE USUALLY WHEN TURNING. MY MECHANIC SAID THE POWER STEERING PUMP NEEDS REPLACEMENT. *TR
