#1 of 5 Power Steering Failure by lacrossesick Jul 01, 2009 (9:40 am)
Have anyone had a power steering failure? I purchased a 2007 Buick Lacrosse with 13000 miles on it and I have 69000 on it now. I always had it serviced in a timely manner but I started hearing a whining sound in steering. The power steering fluid was slowly leaking out of the car. When it was checked by my mechanic he found it leaking from around the pump hose. The pump and hose had to be changed out. GM says this was not a fault from the manufacturer. I do not want another GM car, ever. I am through with American made cars. Replies to this message: gbowman (Aug 12, 2009 9:58 am) dthayer (Aug 19, 2009 2:40 am)

Replying to: lacrossesick (Jul 01, 2009 9:40 am) This problem occurred with me on my 2006 LaCross, the fluid was pouring from the pump and when I took it in to the dealer they had to replace hoses and retaining nut. This fixed the problem until a week or two ago when the same thing happen I am waiting for the results from GM whether it is the same problem or not.

Replying to: lacrossesick (Jul 01, 2009 9:40 am) I too have had this problem. So far all I had to do was add power steering fluid, but it is good to know where it is loosing it.

I learned where I was loosing fluid from. The pump had a bad connection and it progressive got worse and it ended in a pump failure. My car is only 2 years old and I am in the process of getting rid of it. I no longer trust it or GM. Good luck to you.
