Consumer Description

I PARKED MY SATURN AND WENT INTO RESTAURANT TO EAT AND COMING OUT BACK OUT OF PARKING SPACE AND HAD NO STEERING. I CALLED MY DAD HE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRIC ASSIST STEERING IN THIS MODEL. WE TOOK A HAMMER AND HIT THE ASSIST MOTOR AND STEERING GEAR BOX AND IT STARTED WORKING. THE GARAGE INFORMED US (MY DAD AND ME) THAT THERE WERE RECALLS ON OTHER SIMILAR MODELS BUT NOT THIS MODEL. WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO GET THIS PROBLEM AS A RECALL BECAUSE GETTING ON LINE I HAVE DISCOVERED OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS? *TR
