Consumer Description

WHILE WARMING UP THE CAR THE POWER STEERING WARNING APPEARED ON THE DRIVER DISPLAY. LOSS OF POWER STEERING WAS CONFIRMED WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. I DID DO SOME RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT TRANSPORT CANADA HAS FORCED A RECALL BY GM TO REPLACE FAULTY POWER STEERING MODULES IN THAT COUNTRY. WITH MORE RESEARCH I DID DETERMINE THAT THE PART NUMBERS INVOLVED ARE THE SAME IN CANADA AS THE ONES IN THE US. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM HERE IN THE US WHEN GM HAS RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM IN CANADA? *TR
