STEERING
AT ABOUT 92,000 MILES, MY VEHICLE'S POWER STEERING BEGAN RANDOMLY GOING OUT. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I'M ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET OR ON A CITY STREET. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED AT LOWER SPEEDS AND WHEN I'M BACKING UP, BUT IT HAS BEEN A BIT OF AN ISSUE. AFTER SEARCHING GOOGLE, I NOTICED THERE HAS BEEN A SLIGHT PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING IN THESE VEHICLES. I THOUGHT I SHOULD ISSUE A COMPLAINT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS BULBS REPEATEDLY BURNED OUT AND NOW THE WIRE HARNESS HAS MELTED DOWN. FUSE FAILED TO TRIP. DAMAGE HAS NOW BEEN CAUSED TO THE ENTIRE DRL ASSEMBLY (MELTING, SEE PHOTO). ADDITIONALLY I AM CONCERNED THAT WHATEVER CAUSED THE BULB AND WIRING TO MELT WILL CAUSE A VEHICLE FIRE AND ENDANGER MY FAMILY. THERE ARE MANY CASES OF THE DRL BULB AND HARNESS MELTING, BUT MY LOCAL GM DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL WHEN I CALLED TO DISCUSS THE ISSUE. GM/SATURN RELEASED A LETTER AUTHORIZING PAID REPAIRS, THAT WAS VALID FROM 2011-2013, BUT THESE VEHICLES ARE STILL ON THE ROAD, AND IT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL REGARDLESS OF WARRANTY STATUS. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS HAVE BEEN RECALLED--GM KNOWS THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THESE COMPONENTS.
