NHTSA Complaint #10649402 — 2009 SATURN AURA

I HAVE A 2009 SATURN AURA AND ON THE MORNING OF 10/22 WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE, I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN GM RECALL ID # 102639. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF OF THE ROAD STEERING MANUALLY WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM AND AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING BEGAN WORKING AGAIN. AFTER READING THIS RECALL NOTICE, I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN WITH MY VEHICLE AGAIN AND I MIGHT NOT BE AS LUCKY NEXT TIME WHEN IT DOES. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL LISTED FOR THE POWER STEERING ISSUE UNDER MY VIN. I FOUND THIS SURPRISING AS THIS OCCURRED EXACTLY AS WAS DESCRIBED IN THE AFOREMENTIONED RECALL NOTICE THAT I READ ONLINE. I THEN CALLED GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL AT THE MOMENT AND I WOULD HAVE TO BRING MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER AT MY OWN EXPENSE. I'M VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS WAS OUTLINED IN THIS RECALL NOTICE. I ALSO FIND IT SURPRISING THAT ONLY CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS ARE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WHY IS MY 2009 SATURN AURA NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT OTHERS ARE WHEN I'M HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH MY POWER STEERING? *TR
