Consumer Description

EITHER WHILE I AM DRIVING OR WHEN I START MY CAR THE POWER STEERING LIGHT FLASHES ON THE DISPLAY AND DINGS THREE TIMES, AND THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING ESPECIALLY WHILE I AM DRIVING, FORTUNATELY IT HAS NOT HAPPENED WHILE I AM DRIVING AROUND CORNERS, BUT I AM VERY FEARFUL THAT IT WILL AND I WILL BE IN THE DITCH WITH MAJOR ISSUES. WHEN I START THE VEHICLE THIS SOMETIMES HAPPENS AND I NEED TO SHUT THE CAR OFF SEVERAL TIMES ON OCCASIONS TO GET THE POWER STEERING TO START WORKING. THIS IS AND COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I AM TRULY AMAZED THAT GM CARES ABOUT THE CANADIAN DRIVERS BUT NOT ABOUT USA DRIVERS. AS THEY HAVE ISSUED A RECALL IN CANADA BUT NOT IN THE UNITED STATES. *TR
