Consumer Description
FOR A LONG TIME NOW, A YEAR, I'VE BEEN GETTING THE ESC WARNING EVERY TIME I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. IT JUST A NUISANCE ALARM. IT SHUTS OFF THE ESC. NOW HOWEVER EVERY TIME I START THE CAR LATELY AND I'M GETTING THE POWER STEERING WARNING, I MOVE THE WHEEL A LITTLE AND IT GOES AWAY. I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO GET WORSE AND I'LL START LOSING MY POWER STEERING. GM WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY SAY THE VIN NUMBER ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL. I HAVE A 2012 WITH THE 2.4L. IT HAS 73,000 MILES ON IT. THE RECALL IF THAT'S WHAT IT IS (# 15356: SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT - LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST - (AUG 28, 2015).*DT*JB
