I WAS TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THE POWER STEERING LOCKED. BY VERY "BRUTE FORCE" I WAS ABLE TO FORCE IT BACK THUS AVOIDING A COLLISION WITH THE RETAINING WALL. LATER IN THE WEEK I TOOK THE CAR TO A AUTO BODY REPAIR TO REMOVE A MINOR DENT. THE OWNER OF THE REPAIR SHOP EXPERIENCED THE SAME "LOCK" UP WHEN DRIVING THE CAR INTO HIS GARAGE. I THEN WHEN ON LINE GOOGLED "2010 TRAVERSE STEERING PROBLEMS" I WAS TAKEN BACK AT THE PLETHORA OF COMPLAINTS AND COMMENTS FILED. I TOOK THE CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND HE & I REVIEWED THE COMPLAINTS. WE CONCLUDED IT WAS THE RACK & PINION THUS IT WAS REPLACED. NO SO. THE LOCK UP OCCURRED AGAIN LAST EVENING WHEN TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. THIS MORNING I TOOK IT BACK TO THE MECHANIC. HE IS REPLACING THE RACK AND PINION HE PUT IN YESTERDAY AND PUTTING IN A NEW POWER STEERING PUMP. TRY "CHATTING" WITH A GM REPRESENTATIVE ON LINE. THEY ARE EXPERTS AT DEFLECTING QUESTIONS AND GIVING YOU THE RUN AROUND. SINCE GM OWES THE UNITED STATES$ & I AM PART OF THE US, THE NEXT STEP IS TO CONTACT MY SENATORS AND CONGRESS PERSON AND DEMAND A RECALL OF THE TRAVERSE' FROM THIS DEBTOR. *TR
