NHTSA Complaint #10567559 — 2006 SATURN ION

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON MARCH 1ST, 2014 WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMED TO "LOCK UP" FOR A SECOND, WHEN IT LOOSENED IT WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO TURN. FIRST THOUGHT WAS PS FLUID, DID SOME RESEARCH TO FIND OUT IT IS ALL ELECTRICAL AND THAT THE SAME ISSUE WAS HAPPENING IN AROUND THE SAME YEAR CHEVY COBALTS AND PONTIAC G5'S (ALL SAME CAR PRETTY MUCH). WHEN I DROVE HOME THAT EVENING THE POWER STEERING WAS BACK ON, UNTIL I GOT 2-3 MILES DOWN THE ROAD WHEN I HEARD THE BEEPING FOLLOWED BY "PWR STR" SHOWING UP ON THE ODOMETER AND THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT. I HAD A FEELING IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN SO MY SPEED WAS NO WHERE NEAR WHAT IT WAS GOING TO WORK. THANK YOU.
