The steering wheel develops play because the components of the tie rod loosen and it is difficult to maintain control of the vehicle at high and low speeds. Besides that, steering is very stiff. Cracks and screeches are heard coming from the steering rack when you turn the wheel, can even be felt from the steering wheel. My vehicle has only 26k miles on it, but I've heard some others start at 5k

Shortly after purchasing my 2015 buick enclave the power steering pump had to be replaced. About 15k miles later, the power steering hose needs to be replaced. I have researching into this and it looks like this system has been faulty for numerous vehicles of this model. The person at the dealership told me this can cause a fire if left untreated. This is a major safety concern and should be looked into.

Right around 36000 miles my power steering pump had to be replaced because fluid was visible beneath the car and the source was determined to be the high pressure hoses and pump. At nearly 83,480 miles when the combo switch had to be replaced it was noticed there was a significant rack and pinion leak. I believe the earlier issue is somehow connected to early failure of the rack and pinion. Regardless, the tech said there was a 2016 with 52,000 miles on it that needed to have the rack and pinion replaced. He admitted that there is likely a fault in the part causing them to deteriorate before they should.
