Consumer Description

WHEN GOING AT LOW SPEEDS AND/OR DLE THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY GOES OUT. THIS MAKES TURNS AND PARKING VERY DANGEROUS. THE FLUID IS FULL AND THERE IS NO NOISE FROM THE POWER STEERING ITSELF. AT HIGHER SPEEDS IT OPERATES NORMALLY. WHEN I FIRST NOTICED IT WE WERE ON VACATION HAD BEEN DRIVING APPROX 6 HOURS AT ABOUT 70MPH. WHEN COMING OUT OF THE MOUNTAINS I SLOWED DOWN DRAMATICALLY FOR A TIGHT RIGHT CURVE AND FOUND THAT I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO POWER STEERING. WE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AND CHECKED THE FLUID. FLUID WAS FULL. PROBLEM PERSISTED AT LOW SPEED, TURNS AND PARKING. HAVEN'T NOTICED ANY NOISE OR OTHER PROBLEMS. I SEE THERE IS A EXTENDED SERVICE FOR SOME 2010 TRAVERSE FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT APPARENTLY MINE IS NOT INCLUDED. IF THIS IS SUCH A BIG PROBLEM I BELIEVE THE EXTENDED COVERAGE NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT.
