NHTSA Complaint #11391076 — 2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU

WHILE DRIVING TO SCHOOL GOING ROUGHLY FROM IDLE TO 10MPH AS STARTED TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY THE ESC SERVICES POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND I LOST ALL POWER STEERING. NEEDLESS TO SAY ME BEING 5'3" AND 98 POUNDS DIDN'T HELP ME MUCH TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. I SLOWLY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GATHERED MYSELF NOT KNOWING WHAT JUST HAPPENED. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND GATHERED MY THOUGHTS. LUCKILY I WAS ON STRAIGHT AWAY WITH NO TURNS WHEN THIS HAPPENED. SO I PRECEEDED TO TURN THE CAR ON AND NOTICED THE MESSAGE WAS GONE SO I CHECKED THE STEERING AND THE PROBLEM LIGHT WAS GONE. WELL WITH THAT SAID, THAT WAS THE FIRST THIS HAD HAPPENED. AND NOW IT HAS PROGRESSED DURING THE WINTER. I DON'T KNOW IF THE COLD HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. BUT THIS IS SCARY AND GM SHOULD TRY TO ADDRESS IT. I BELIEVE THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT MY VIN DOESN'T SHOW THAT RECALL. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP. THE PROBLEM IS STARTING TO HAPPEN WHEN I START MY CAR NOW.
