NHTSA Complaint #10671239 — 2009 SATURN AURA

I WAS WAITING AT A STOP SIGN. WHEN CROSS-TRAFFIC CLEARED AND I BEGAN MY RIGHT TURN, I NOTICED THE POWER STEERING HAD FAILED. IT TOOK GREAT EFFORT TO TURN THE WHEEL TO COMPLETE THE RIGHT TURN. ABOUT 5 SECONDS LATER, A WARNING LIGHT (YELLOW TRIANGLE WITH AN EXCLAMATION POINT) ILLUMINATED, AND THE AREA WHERE THE ODOMETER READING NORMALLY DISPLAYS, INSTEAD SAID "SERVICE EPS" AND THEN "POWER STEERING". I CONTINUED FOR NO MORE THAN A QUARTER MILE BEFORE STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT, TURNING OFF THE MOTOR, AND RE-STARTING THE CAR. POWER STEERING WORKED FROM THAT POINT AND FOR THE REST OF MY 20 MILE COMMUTE. *TR
