Consumer Description

POWER STEERING LIGHT APPEARS ON DASH RANDOMLY WHEN GOING SLOW SPEEDS AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON THE GET THE POWER STEERING TO COME BACK ON. THIS CAN OFTEN REPEAT ITSELF SEVERAL TIMES. IT HAS NEVER OCCURRED AT HIGH SPEEDS, MOSTLY OCCURS IN PARKING LOTS WHEN TURNING. I AM AWARE OF A RECALL FROM GM REGARDING THIS BUT MY VIN SAYS IT DOES NOT APPLY. THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME GIVEN MY SYMPTOMS ARE THE SAME AS WHAT THE RECALL DESCRIBES AND MY YEAR MODEL IS AFFECTED (2010 CHEVY COBALT).
