| As we were driving along an on ramp to a highway as we reached 55mph the vehicle was sluggish and would pull constantly as we tried to accelerate all the way until we reached 65-70 mph. this started happening more and more frequently even while driving at lower speeds on city streets. again getting that pulling or bucking sensation as we tried to accelerate. we took the vehicle to the dealership and they returned it stating they found no error codes and could not duplicate the problem. after another month of the same thing happening almost daily on every commute we took the vehicle in again to the dealership. this time they were able to duplicate the issue and said the cause of this problem was the motor mounts which they replaced. this made absolutely no sense and sure enough the vehicle still has the same issue to this very day. 2nd issue is the steering going completely out as you make turns going at slower speeds such as making a left hand turn or turning in to a parking space. as i started making a turn in to a parking space i had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting the car next to the empty space i was trying to go into because it felt like the power steering went out and could not turn the wheel at all. we have taken the vehicle to the dealership and power steering fluid and pump are working fine according to mechanics. i can not believe there has not been a recall on this issue since many traverse owners have the same problem which is a major safety concern especially when we are talking about not being able to control a vehicle going around 25-30 mph in a parking lot or making turns in front of oncoming traffic (left turns). please help with these issues. *tr | |||
