Consumer Description

I SUFFERED A POWER STEERING FAILURE, IT WAS LISTED IN A RECALL AS A PROBLEM FOR SATURN AURA 2008 BUT MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T RESULT IN THEIR RECALL. I HAD THE SAME ISSUE, I CALL THEM AND SAID THAT MY CAR WASN'T LISTED IN THE RECALL. I ALMOST CRASH 3 TIMES AND THEY DON'T WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS TRY TO TURN IN A BUSY STREET AND END UP ON A LAWN. THEY ARE SAYING THAT I HAVE TO PAY EVERYTHING OUT OF POCKET AND THAT IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT. BUT IT'S THE EXACT SAME ISSUE THAT THEY DESCRIBED IN THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR OF THE CAR. I WAS LUCKY THIS TIME BUT I FEARED FOR MY LIFE
