Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2004 SATURN ION THAT HAS POWER STEERING ISSUES. WHAT HAPPENS IS A TONE WILL SOUND AND A POWER STEERING WARNING WILL APPEAR ON THE MESSAGE WINDOW AND THEN I LOSE THE POWER STEERING. IT THEN BECOMES VERY HARD TO CONTROL THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY, IN TOWN AND AT STOP LIGHTS. IT IS BUILDING IN FREQUENCY GOING FROM ONCE EVERY FEW MONTHS TO EVERY FEW DAYS. I HAVE HAD TO PUT MY FOUR WAYS ON AND BLOCK TRAFFIC BECAUSE THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE POWER STEERING BACK IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN WAIT AT LEAST 30 SECONDS AND TURN THE CAR BACK ON. *TR
