Consumer Description

I HAD JUST MADE A LEFT TURN INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN CHIMES AND THE MESSAGE "PWR STR" APPEARED ON THE DISPLAY. THE STEERING WHEEL THEN FELT LIKE IT LOCKED AND WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. I PULLED INTO AN EMPTY PARKING SPACE, TURNED OFF THE CAR, AND WAITED FOR 5 MINUTES BEFORE STARTING THE CAR. ONCE I RESTARTED THE CAR, I REVERSED AND WAS ABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AS NORMAL. I DROVE ABOUT A MILE BACK TO MY HOUSE AND THE CHIME NOR MESSAGE APPEARED AGAIN. I'M AFRAID THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN SO I'M TAKING MY CAR TO A GM DEALERSHIP FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. I WAS LUCKY THAT TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND I WAS GOING VERY SLOW. *TR
