NHTSA Complaint #10705324 — 2009 SATURN AURA

AS I PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT TO GO LEFT, MY POWER STEERING WENT OFF. "ESC" CAME UP IN THE MESSAGE WINDOW, THEN "POWER STEERING" SHOWED UP. I COULD HARDLY TURN THE WHEEL. I PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY, THEN DROVE HOME (WHICH WAS ONLY A BLOCK AWAY). THE CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHOLE TIME. I PARKED IN MY GARAGE, THEN WANTED TO CHECK THE CAR A FEW MINUTES LATER. I PULLED OUT AGAIN THEN WAS ABLE TO STEER WITH NO PROBLEM. THE NOTIFICATIONS WERE GONE. I RENTED A CAR FOR SAFETY. WHEN I CALLED A DEALER TO ASK ABOUT THE RECALL I SAW ONLINE FOR GM AND SATURN, THE RECEPTIONIST TOLD ME IT DIDN'T AFFECT MY VEHICLE, PER THE VIN. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT, COINCIDENTALLY, THE RECALLED ISSUE IS HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE BUT I CAN'T HAVE IT REPAIRED PER THE GM RECALL. *TR
