Chevrolet Traverse steering noise problems

Filed May 31, 2026 · Electrical · NY

While driving my entire dashboard goes dark and once I shut my car off it did not start again. Brought it to the mechanic who is rated as 5 stars, to have no codes come up. He has been looking for the answer for over 5 months now. Car will start for a short time then do the same thing all over again. No clicking when turning the key, new battery put in, remote control module replaced and car still doesn’t start. I still owe on this car and have no idea what to do with it.

I purchased this traverse back in october of 2019. I had it 2 months and it started winding and the power steering was making an awful noise I called the dealer I purchased it from cash for cars I'm graham, north carolina and they told me there's nothing they can do. Also the rear seat belts in the back seat fell apart within a week of having it. I paid 13,000 dollars for the SUV and I just want it safe for my children.

I purchased a 2016 chevy traverse lt new from the dealer. It has approx. 80k miles that are mostly "highway miles". I brought my traverse into the dealer on 12-9-19 for a brake service and ask that they check the power steering which has been making "winding" noises during various turning radiuses. I was informed by the dealership of a tsb regarding the powering steering pump/line. Apparently due to a design flaw by gm, the power steering hose and A/C touch and during the normal operation of the vehicle, rub each other. This is known to produce a hole in the power steering line causing the power steering fluid to leak. This has the potential to cause the power steering pump to fail. Because of the design flaw, simply replacing the hose won't ultimately fix the issue. Furthermore. If the power steering pump fails while a driver is making steering inputs, it creates a high probably that a crash can occur resulting in serious bodily harm or death to the driver and others. I spoke to gm corp customer service on 12-9-19 and was told, they do not show to have a fix and because there is no recall for the issue, they do not plan to address it. I don't know how many lives it takes to initiate a recall, but I would hope that as a governing agency, you would not take this issue lightly.

I have a 2017 traverse, bought it with just a few thousand miles on it back in 2017. I started having problems the day after I bought it. The car would die almost every day. Finally got that issue fixed. A few months later the washer fluid stopped working. I took it in to have it looked at and they said it had a hole in it. I had it replaced. A few months later my engine starts making a really loud noise when accelerating and my steering wheel would get so tight when I turned it, that I couldn't turn. I took it to be looked at and was told it had a hole in the steering pump and a pin needed to be replaced as well as the pump. I had that replaced. A few weeks later I'm getting gas and try to start my car and it stalls. I try to start it again and it starts, but it acts like it wants to die. The fuel gauge needle stays on e, even though I just filled my tank up. This same issue has happened 3 times now after getting gas. My steering has starting making a squeaking noise when I turn it. My engine is so loud when I'm driving, it's definitely not a normal sound. When my car sits in park with the engine in you can hear the engine whistling and revving up on its own, and then it acts as though it wants to die.

When turning the steering wheel, there is a low whining sound. The dealer says this is "normal". The steering column should not make any noise. Noises coming from a steering column usually indicate trouble.

The steering has a whining noise and the brake has a squeaky noise that both feel unsafe to drive. Many owners have experienced these issue on buick enclave, saturn outlook, chevy traverse and gmc acadia as well as others. No solution has been issued by gm and something needs to be done to remedy these issues.

Power steering makes odd, high-pitched squeaking noises, sometimes chatters and has completely failed on several occasions. This has been happening since we purchased the car in 2011 with only about 12,000 miles. I have asked the dealership about this every time the car was serviced and was told this is normal. I don't see how it's normal to be driving a car and suddenly have no steering. I am honestly scared every time I leave my driveway that this will cause an accident and injure someone. Now, the dealer finally admits there is something wrong - needs power steering pump and rack & pinion. But it now has 94,000 miles, so they won't repair it.

The steering is just making noises and crunching sounds when turning

Takata recall my steering wheel makes noises when I turn right or left. It's really bad when I'm parking my car in a parking lot and need to turn to get in the spot or back out. It's also leaking fluid under my car, possibly the steering wheel fluid.
