What owners wrote
While driving to work early january 18,2016 my check engine light and stability control light came on, not a minute later my steering went out and I hit a road sign. I had turned off the traction control before leaving my house as instructed by my service advisor at the chevy dealership. I believe GM is responsible for the damage to my vehicle. Took my 2011 traverse to the dealership that same day.
Power steering rack found leaking during nysi. I feel rack should be covered under extended warranty. This is an outrageous price to pay for a vehicle that was just in for an inspection with nothing else wrong.
