Consumer Description
ON SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 30 2018, I WAS DRIVING IN THE CHURCH PARKING LOT AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED MAKING A LEFT TURN WHEN MY SATURN AURA LOST ALL POWER STEERING ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I HAD A DIFFICULT TIME GETTING THE CAR TO STRAIGHTEN OUT TO PARK. I TURNED IF OFF AND WHEN I STARTED MY CAR AND IT WAS FINE THE REST OF THE DAY. ON MONDAY OCTOBER 1, 2018 I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY TO GO TO WORK AND AGAIN I LOST AL STEERING POWER. I PULLED BACK INTO MY DRIVEWAY, TURNED IT OFF, STARTED IT AND IT WAS FINE; HOWEVER, I WORK 50 MILES FROM HOME AND DID NOT WANT THE CHANCE IT WOULD DO THAT DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING. GM WHICH MADE THE SATURN AS OF SEPT 13, 2018 HAS A RECALL ON A NUMBER OF THEIR VEHICLES WITH THIS VERY PROBLEM. IS IT POSSIBLE TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL AS THIS CAR IS MADE BY GMC AND IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM? THIS COULD BE VERY SERIOUS IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC.
