STEERING
THE POWER STEERING SPONTANEOUSLY FAILED WHILE DRIVING. I CALLED GM TO REPORT THIS ISSUE AS IT SEEMS TO BE PART OF A PREVIOUS RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. THEY STATED THAT MY CAR BASED ON THE VIN NUMBER IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR MADE A 'DINGING' SOUND AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD. ON MY MESSAGE CENTER THE WORDS 'POWER STEERING' APPEARED AND I HAD LOST POWER STEERING TO THE STEERING COLUMN. THE VEHICLE BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO MANEUVER AT THIS POINT.

POWER TRAIN, STEERING
POWER STEERING DISENGAGES ONCE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. ONLY WAY TO REENGAGE IT IS TO TURN CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. SOMETIMES IT REENGAGES BUT OCCASIONALLY IT STILL REMAINS AN ISSUE. IF I ALSO LIGHTLY PULL ON THE WHEEL, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL VIBRATE AND SHAKE WHILE STOPPED AND DRIVING. MY POSITION SWITCH ON THE TRANSMISSION ALSO CAUSES THE ENGINE TO NOT START EVERY SO OFTEN AS WELL. I HAVE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL SOMETIMES TO RESTART MY CAR.

STEERING
POWER STEERING ALERT ON RADIO SCREEN WHEN CAR IS NOT IN MOTION AND STEERING WHEEL IS HARD TO TURN. I CAN TURN THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON AND THE ALERT WILL GO OFF AND THE STEERING IS BACK TO NORMAL. ONCE I START DRIVING I GET THE ALERT AGAIN AND MY STEERING WHEEL GETS STIFF AND HARD TO TURN. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES SOME TIMES WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK. I WENT ONLINE AND NOTICED THAT SOME MAKES AND MODELS OF THE SAME VEHICLE HAS HAD SEVERAL RECALL. WHEN I GO ON GM WEBSITE. ITS STATES MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE ANY RECALLS ON IT. BUT MY CAR IS DOING EVERYTHING THATS ON THE RECALL LIST FOR THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF MY VEHICLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
PROBLEMS WITH MY ELECTRIC ASSIST POWER STEERING IT KEEPS GOING IN AND OUT I'VE ALMOST WRECKED SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE OF IT GM OFFER TO RECALL BUT SAYS MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T COVER THE RECALL FOR THE ELECTRIC ASSIST POWER STEERING FOR MY CAR. MY CAR WAS CLEARLY EFFECTED BY THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS PART. IT'S A SAFTEY ISSUE AND ALMOST KILLED MY SELF MY SON AND MY UNBORN CHILD. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE PASTOR AND DECIDE TO GO OUT THE FIRST TIME AND CAUSED ME TO GO OVER INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC SECOND TIME I WAS DRIVING IN THE CITY AND IT DID THE SAME THING. BEING PREGNANT WITH HIGH RISK PREGNANCY MADE STEERING MY CAR ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE WHEN THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THE ELECTRIC ASSIST MOTOR OR POWER STEERING WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT IS THE WORST THING GM EVER DID. IT'S PROBABLY CAUSED A LOT OF PEOPLE TO GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED EVEN. AND THEY WON'T COVER MY VEHICLE UNDER THERE RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM
