At slow speeds my steering gets very hard as if i have no power steering at all. very difficult to parallel park. loud whining sound as i turn the steering wheel. numerous times when driving on either highway or city street..changing lanes has been difficult and manual steering was needed.
While driving encountering a dangerous loss of power steering intermittently especially during braking (low engine revs). steering appears to lock and bind. dealer states failure of power steering pump and rack and pinion gear. rack and pinion gear. rack failure should be covered under recall. car is not safe unless rack and pinion is replaced. this is second failure reported. 1= previous owner 70k / 2=current owner 105k
Rack is leaking on the steering.
Power steering quits working at low idle and turning from a stand still. this causes vehicle to sometimes enter on coming traffic. extremely dangerous.

when going slow and making a turn right or left i lose power steering this happens both forward or backward when i speed up the power steering come back to normal.
Power steering went out and almost hit another vehicle. works going down a 2 lane highway over 35 mph, but stops working as you turn into parking lots, road, etc at lower speeds. steering is extremely difficult and have noticed many acadia owners are having this issue. car is a 2011 denali acadia with 103,000 miles.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 gmc acadia. while operating the vehicle, the steering wheel felt loose and a whining noise was heard when it was turned. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer (sellers buick gmc, 38000 grand river ave, farmington hills, mi) where it was diagnosed that the power steering fluid leaked from the vehicle and the power steering fluid seals needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 140,000.
I have a gmc acadia 2012, 61000 miles. around december 22, the car started making a weird noise when steering to the right or left on slow speeds. the noise got worse few days after and we scheduled a service in the dealership. few days later they called me to inform that there was a oil leakage in the the power steering and that they would need to replace the oil pump. total cost of repair $5000. after doing some research became clear this is a common problem on gmc acadias. and multiple people reported even loosing (suddenly) ability to steer the car while driving. very concerning. so decided to open a case with gmc corporate to explain that they should be responsible for the repair cost of this issue and that it is unacceptable to have a car with 61k having such serious issues. even more importantly, tried to emphasize the importance of them taking a careful look on this safety issue reported by many people. after long back and forth and multiple days after, they claim there is nothing they can do about. after 10 days, i still don't have the car repaired. it is still on the ...
My power steering will intermittently stop on my when turning at low speeds. never had any issues up on till last week when i was taking my son to school. i have no leaks so it's not due to fluid loss.
At slow speed turns power steering seems to lose power assist

Loss of power steering at low speed. had the entire rack replaced (prior to power steering loss), as well as the power steering pump replaced (after power steering loss and covered under the tsb) and within to weeks of having the power steering pump replaced, the exact same thing occurred. at very low speed, in a parking lot, making a right hand turn, i lost all power steering and heard a loud screeching noise as i attempted to maneuver my very heavy suv to a safe area with no power steering. "service battery charging system" error came up on my in-dash screen and then it went away. i turned the engine off and re-started with no power steering still and then re-started again an that is when the power steering worked again. the entire time, the radio and lights were on and did not fail. i drove the car directly to the dealership and after a full day of having my car, they told me i needed a new alternator now at at cost of $1200!!!! i'm not sure how the alternator is related since i do not have electric power steering?!?!?! i feel like ...
I was driving down the road with almost 1/2 a tank of gas, and i lost power suddenly, and had no control over my vehicle because the power steering and everything quit. because i am fairly strong, i was actually able to turn off the road into a safe place, and not be stranded on a very busy two lane road. after having the car towed to paul's automotive garage, i was advised that the vehicle was out of gas.
