2010 Chevrolet Traverse: loss of power steering

Filed May 27, 2024 · Steering · MI

No power steering at low speed . Makes it dangerous to turn sharp corners. Almost impossible to park in a parking spot if there’s other vehicles.so I park way out away from vehicles . I have had two power steering pumps and lines replaced . And still have the same issue. .

When going at low speeds and/or dle the power steering completely goes out. This makes turns and parking very dangerous. The fluid is full and there is no noise from the power steering itself. At higher speeds it operates normally. When I first noticed it we were on vacation had been driving approx 6 hours at about 70mph. When coming out of the mountains I slowed down dramatically for a tight right curve and found that I had absolutely no power steering. We stopped immediately and checked the fluid. Fluid was full. Problem persisted at low speed, turns and parking. Haven't noticed any noise or other problems. I see there is a extended service for some 2010 traverse for this problem but apparently mine is not included. If this is such a big problem I believe the extended coverage needs to be extended. This could have easily caused a major accident.

After some major maintenance work summer of 2018, car began to show more work needed. Summer of 2019 while driving on flat city road, power steering became difficult to turn & control curves and, check engine light came on. Parked the car until able to repair. Mechanic repaired power steering module car seemed ok. After about 2-3 weeks, check engine light & power steering problems again , now engine power reduced while driving w/stabilitrak warning & back up cam sometimes works. Whle driving , hard to turn on curves, corners and at appropriate posted speeds bc engine slows on its own and wont give enough power for flats or hills. Heating takes much longer to warm cabin and window button sometimes wont work.

2010 chevrolet traverse 130k miles(told it is in kil.) 2nd owner. All oil changes and services done. 2 major issues. Suv made loud noise and lost all control of steering and other functions and car shut down while on a freeway, going high speeds, while traveling with 3 children. Almost hit from behind by 2 cars. Was told by gm service center that the timing chain fell off/mechanical failure due to skipping. Other components damaged and all needs to be replaced. Does not seem right for the timing chain to fall off. Seems to be a mechanical defect, not normal wear and tear. Called gm cs several times to explain recent issues and worry of safety and reliability due to multiple repeated timing chain failures on same vehicals with same owners on 2010 and newer traverse. Told by cs no warranty no recall so can't help. Service manager requested assistance from gm for repairs and it was denied. I called gm again, was told they would communicate with service center and call me back later this week. Prior the power steering failed twice within months. Repaired power steering twice as well as power steering rack. First failure we almost crashed while on a circular icy on ramp to freeway with 3 children because of sudden loss of control. Called gm about possible defect and concerns for safety. Told no warrant no recall. Recently found out there is a special payout for issues. Was told we could be reimbursed. Possible underlaying undetected defects to timing chain and power steering need to be addressed before fatal crashes occur.

Loss of power steering happens on two occasions. 1. When at a stop and attempting to make a turn. 2. When driving at a low speed and attempting to make a turn.

When you turn a corner, park in a parking spot, back up the power steering goes out. Anytime you turn the wheel the power steering goes out. It will cost over $2,000.00 to fix this issue. I have never had a vehicle lose power steering when you turn the wheel. I do not believe my vehicle is an isolated incident.

2010 chevy traverse lost power steering while being driven by son. Initial failure occurred at street speeds. The car could be steered without power but it was difficult at low speeds. Dealer was informed of sounds when the vehicle had less than 100,000 miles but nothing was done. The car currently has 133,000 miles (2-3 years after sounds reported to dealer).

Power steering stopped working while parking at low speed. Took the car to a chevy dealer and they couldn't find anything diagnostically wrong with it. Very disconcerting.

Having problem with my steering wheel on my 2010 traverse. Every time I turn especially when I'm trying to park the steering wheel is very hard to turn like if the vehicle had no steering fluid. It's problem that lots of owner with the same model have and I think gm should make this a recall.
