Consumer Description

VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 1.5 MILES. I SPENT 30 MINUTES INSIDE AND THEN UPON RETURNING TO MY CAR DISCOVERED THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS NO LONGER WORKING. THE CAR WAS TURNED ON/OFF SEVERAL TIMES AND THE FAILURE LIGHT REMAINED AS WELL AS THE FAILURE. CAR WAS BARELY DRIVABLE TO GET HOME. GM WAS CALLED AND THEY STATED THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON SUCH A PART. CAR HAS LESS THAN 60K AND IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD. AN ONLINE SEARCH INDICATED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER 2008 VUE XE OWNERS; THE CHEVY COBALT, WHICH HAS A SIMILAR SYSTEM AND ENGINE, SEEMS TO HAVE RECALLED THE PART. PARTS WERE REPLACED AND OLD PART IS AVAILABLE. *TR
