12/23/19 while driving my car it began making slight whine noises which increased during turning, tires seemed a bit loose with driving, then when parking it was as if no power steering at all- checked ps fluid tiny bit low, added small amount. 12/24/19 same problem still occurring only extremely more difficult to turn, 12/26/19 had car checked by mechanic our power steering pump has gone out at 81k miles and in all probability our rack and pinion, this is a known issue for traverses, there has been a special service coverage extension ( https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2014/sb-10056459-3388.pdf) thru 100k mikes for traverses 2009-2011, though when i spoke to representative she said 2007 - 2011 years, and the parts that need replacing are the exact same part numbers thru 2015 traverses. the 'reason' i was given is because 'it is for vehicles produced in 'specific- undisclosable locations' which are in 'specific years and vin numbers' and yet the part is the exact same part that is being utilized in the entire span of at least the years '2009-2015'. this is a huge safety concern as well since it causes problems with your steering as well as tire functionality. why are the years past 2011 being dismissed? i was informed by both our local dealership and the online customer service for gm that our vin is not included. this is not an isolated event. how can this special coverage be extended to cover additional years since all of the parts required to be replaced are exact ones utilized in each year? thank you.
We have 2 issues. 1st was in july 2019, our power steering pump went out with on 60,000 miles on the vehicle and we were told this is a common problem with the traverses. 2nd concern is in september 2019 our vehicle lost acceleration capabilities on the highway and the display said have stability control serviced. we had trouble making it home and after i turned the engine off for a few hours it then ran fine. it was like a computer glitch on the highway which occurred for no apparent reason and was very unsafe. we were driving straight 50 mph on a clear nice afternoon and slowed to 25 when it happened and it wouldn't accelerate properly.
I heard a whine noise when turning to the right took it to the dealer they said it was hard to find but the power steering hose was defective and needed to be replaced at 47000 miles. the noise actually started around 37000 miles but the dealership said it was just my imagination they could not find the problem. now i do some research and find it's a known problem with traverses and the dealer still acts like they have never seen it happen before. just need to get it on record in case the power steering goes out all together like some others have. a known problem i would say.
Excessive leaks in power steering lines. car is 3 yrs/8 months with 65,000 miles.
Power steering pump - vehicle is 4 years old and has only 42,000+ miles and the pump dropped fluid and quit working. i was in traffic on the highway during failure and it posed a definite safety risk as it made it almost impossible to maintain control of the vehicle. after researching the issue, it is apparent this is a common problem for these vehicles and a recall should be issued.
Purchased a 2015 chevy traverse the power steering went out and it's leaking. this vehicle is only 3.5yrs old this should not be happening! it's extremely dangerous when you have two children in the vehicle!! the noise was grinding and whining, you could not turn the vehicle if you were reversing. and trying to drive forward and turning onto another road was very hard. this is not normal and this needs to be a recall!!
The entire power steering system failed with leaks in the rack and pinion box, the pump and the high pressure hose. the car is only 3.5 years old and has 40,000 miles.
Loud noise coming from the power steering area when i accelerated and turned the steering wheel . this happens when i wanted to park my car. i just changed water sensors , and now it has the evape error . that not really good for under 60000 mile car, its not normal

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chevrolet traverse. the contact stated that the steering wheel seized while parking the vehicle. there were no warning indicators illuminated. also, when making turns or changing lanes, the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the electrical steering system failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the vehicle was later taken to ferman chevrolet of tampa (located at 9751 e adamo dr, tampa, fl 33619, (813) 623-2411), but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and opened case number: 8-4636845588. the approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
My power steering stopped working while driving, i managed to get to the side of the road and shut the vehicle off. i turned back on and power steering was back. the following day i took it to the shop and they told me to take it to the dealer because the power steering pump was leaking and should be under warranty. unfortunately the dealer told me it was not under warranty and i had to have it replaced. i paid for the repair and now just a few weeks later the same thing is happening. i have the vehicle scheduled to go into the shop again on monday.
Turning car to right and felt car steering seize at 48,000 miles took to dealership they told me rack and pinion $2900 part that should not occur on car this age.
While turning my vehicle the steering wheel becomes very hard and sometimes impossible to turn. there is nothing wrong with the power steering pump and there are no leaks in the line. it is an ongoing problem.
Airbags light is always on . problem with terring wheel too hard to turn
