Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2004 SATURN ION. THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS. GM CLAIMS THAT THE CAR CAN STILL BE DRIVEN WITH EXTRA EFFORT. THAT'S BULL!!!! I AM A 200 POUND 6FT TALL MAN. AND I CANNOT STEER THE CAR INTO INTO A DRIVE WAY TO EXIT THE ROADWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IF MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED WITH 96000 MILES ON IT. HOW DOES THE SORRY EXCUSE FOR A RECALL FROM GM HELP ME?!!!!! 10 YEAR OR 100K MILE. MY CAR NOW HAS 150K MILES ON IT. PLEASE MAKE GM DO A FULL RECALL ON THESE VERY DANGEROUS VEHICLES. *TR
