Consumer Description

I WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT 7/5/2010, IN A 2005 SATURN ION, WHEN THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON, AND POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. NOW, IT HAPPENS ALMOST CONSTANTLY, THE POWER STEERING KEEPS GOING OUT, IT HAPPENED 10 TIMES JUST TODAY 7/7/2010. EVERY TIME, I HAVE PULLED OVER SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES, BEFORE RESTARTING CAR AND CONTINUING, JUST AS THE TSB FROM GM ADVISES. THE CAR ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES, AND YET THE POWER STEERING IS OUT ON IT. GM HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR CHEVROLET COBALTS, PONTIAC G5, ETC, FOR THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING, YET HAVE NOT FOR SATURN IONS, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE NEARLY THE SAME VEHICLE, AND HAVE THE SAME PARTS AND PROBLEMS. *TR
