ALSO 2 DAYS AGO ON MY WAY TO WORK THE POWER STEERING INSTANTLY WENT WHEN I PULLED INTO WORK. I PARKED THE CAR AND SHUT IT OFF. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON IT WAS WORKING AGAIN. I'M VERY SCARED OF THIS HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
2009 SATURN AURA STATIONARY SHOWS MESSAGES "SERVICE TRACTION, ESC OFF, SERVICE ESC" CONSTANTLY ON THE GAUGE CLUSTER. ALONGSIDE THE MESSAGES THE ABS LIGHT AND THE ESC OFF ICON IS CONSTANTLY ON IN THE GAUGE CLUSTER. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN THE MESSAGE "PWR STR" REFERRING TO POWER STEERING SHOWED ON THE GAUGE CLUSTER THEN DISAPPEARS. UPON RESEARCHING THESE ISSUES, I HAVE FOUND THAT NHTSA AND GM HAVE ISSUED RECALLS AND TSBS REGARDING THESE ISSUES, HOWEVER THE VIN FOR MY VEHICLE DOES NOT SHOW ITS UNDER RECALL. I SUSPECT THIS MAY BE THE CASE OF VINS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL SYSTEM. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000, 14E044000, 14V153000, 14V252000, I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL AND MUST BE TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS UNDER CASE NUMBER 8-440138641. I WILL TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE DIAGNOSED, HOWEVER IN THE CASE THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE ESC AND POWER STEERING. I WANT NHTSA TO HAVE A RECORD ON FILE OF THESE ISSUES AS A PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE.
