Slight pulse left then pulse right actually moves steering wheel but vehicle stays on track - unless driver is unaware - but drive becomes aware because it's a movement on a smooth road them is alarming - then it's always noticed

The vehicle has been looked over by many mechanical professionals. At slow rates of speed, intermittently the steering will stiffen and lock up making it very scary when driving. We have been told over and over that rack n pinion and pump are fine. After researching, this looks like a typical issue. Is there anything that gm can do for this?

Steering wheel making a whining/rubbing noise. Fluid leaking under the car. Took to the dealer and was found to have tack and pinion is bad spraying out power steering fluid everywhere. Was told that the steering will lose power and become either hard to turn or not turn at all causing danger to ourselves and others. This is a known issue that has not been recalled by gm.

Dec 2018 my acadia was left at the service department of whitmore chevrolet in west point va 23181 for a diagnosis. My vehicle ran when I left it there. Over a month later including illegal activity in the service department I get my vehicle back and it is dead. I would start my vehicle and drive away sometime stopping soon or randomly on the road. It's done that several times. I have three children too. I need my vehicle looked at and the possible recalls fixed. I am without transportation and it's unbearable. I am a mother of three wonderful sons and we need our vehicle to run please!!!my review is in the pictures as well

This is not just an issued with my gmc my sister has a 2011 acadia and had the same problem. This for sure needs to be recalled as there is something wrong with it.

Bought a 2009 gmc acadia in february had it for 2 weeks and was pulling out of a fast food restaurant getting my 3 year old daughter some food as I was pulling out I lost all power steering. I could not get my SUV to turn I barely bumped a car thank goodness it did not do any damage and no one was injured but this is definitely something gm needs to fix!! I am a single mother and can not afford to have this fixed especially after spend 10,900 on purchasing the vehicle.
