Consumer Description

I was driving my vehicle home from work when it suddenly lost power steering. At that point I was unaware it had a power system module instead of a power assist pump. I pulled over to the side of the road to check and see what was going on. That was when I realized I had a power system module. The odd part for me was after looking at it on the side of the road for a while I cranked the vehicle and my power assist was working again. If it had gone out in a curve instead of straight road the outcome probably would have been different. I noticed for my year Malibu there is a recall but mine is not listed. From the description of the issue it's exactly what happened to mine but, again, it's not listed. I guess I need to know what steps I need to take to get it at least checked.
