Problems with 2009 Chevrolet Traverse STEERING

My 2009 chevrolet traverse won't go into reverse and also won't switch gears on time while driving with the steering so stiff

It's very hard to turn the wheel. when trying to turn in or back up it's extremely hard to turn.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 chevrolet traverse. while attempting to make a turn, the steering lost power without warning. the vehicle was taken to berger chevrolet (616-949-5200, located at 2525 28th st se, grand rapids, mi 49512) where it was diagnosed that the power steering needed to be replaced. the contact was informed that the warranty did not cover the failure. the manufacturer stated that there was an extended warranty and they would contact the dealer. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 126,000.

Unsafe car to drive in with my kids. i have no traction control and very sporadic power loss! i was driving with my kids going about 30mph and spun out of control around a curve with my kids in the car. thank the lord no one was hurt and neither was the vehicle. i try to take off from a light or stop sign and it'll either take off super fast and almost hit the car in front of me, or take off slow with no power and almost get rear ended. i bought this car used 6 months ago and the last 3 months have been very frustrating with issues of this vehicle. i've already put $300 into it and now it's saying to change the cat converter. i called the #1 local shop to get a quote and he actually said his number one supplier has stopped issuing this part to chevy traverse because of all the recalls! so what do i do now????? i am a medical courier and this traverse is my source of income. i've always loved chevys and don't buy any other brand, but c'mon. i don't have $3000 to fix electrical issues!! especially ...

Power steering failing while turning and is difficult to turn.

When i turn from a stop it's like i don't have any power steering and it's difficult to turn the wheels. it's happened often but getting worse

Power steering becomes hard to turn when turning a corner or trying to park in a parking spot.not making any noise but steering gets really stiff

Power steering is very hard to turn at slow speeds i have checked power steering fluid and it's full i'm very afraid this may cause me to lose control if it would happen going down the hwy please let me know what can i do.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 chevrolet traverse. while approaching a stop sign, the steering wheel was difficult to maneuver in both directions when attempting to turn. the contact pulled over to the side of the road and inspected the vehicle, but found not visible failure. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the rack and pinion may need to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the contact called gerry lane buick gmc (6615 florida blvd, baton rouge, la 70806, (225) 341-5413). the vehicle was not diagnosed, but the dealer stated that there were no recalls on the vehicle. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 168,500.

Traverse stopped at a city intersection and failed to move or start after that. timing chain broke at 158,000 causing damage to catalytic converters. failure of power steering was an ongoing problem for months that caused wheels to lock up during turns and then suddenly release causing much over correction because of having to pull so hard on the steering wheel when it would go out.

Stabilitrak/traction control problems i am the owner of this vehicle that has 165,000+ miles on it. we have repaired/replaced about $6900: in 2017 evap purge valve, in 2017 upper coolant hose, 2016 water pump gasket, timing chain, 2014 catalytic converter and gaskets, 2014 water pump and front motor mount, in 2009 reverse clutch plate. now the stability trac and traction lights both came on stating to service the brake system when you are in motion and come to a stop. plus today, the ac does not come now. one vehicle with one owner should not have this many problems. chevy has got to issue a recall on this 2009 model. class action lawsuit, something needs to be done.

I have been battling my check engine light all 2018 and now 2019. not to mention the stabiliztrak and hard to turn steering wheel. i have been getting a misfire in all my coils. this issue has caused the vehicle to stutter, drink high volumes of gas and almost sent me broke. i have changed every coil, every plug, changed the stabilizer, tentioner, bearings, swaybar links and much more. i am completely done with chevy. they know this make and midel is horrible and we as customers need to do a class action lawsuit. this vehicle sounds like a tin can when it starts. it rattles and stutters while driving and it shakes when stationary.

Power steering just went out as i was driving. power steering fluid full

I was driving down the street i came to a stop. as i began to go i tried to turn right and i couldn't turn the wheel it was so hard. reminded me of my first car i had when i had a leak with my steering fluid. so at that point i try to brake and my brakes failed. i don't know what happened i began to roll backwards and the first thing i thought of was to push down as hard as i could and slammed it into park. while all this was going on not one single engine light came on or brake light nothing. there was absolutely no warning. i turned the car off then back on and it was as if nothing had happened. luckily it was on a very quite and non-busy street and my kids weren't with me.

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).
