Consumer Description

My Pontiac G6 has only 80,000 miles on it. Just starting the car to pull out if the garage; power steering goes out; can't steer. So, I shut car off; wait a few minutes restart car goes away. within one block or less from home dash light say power steering problems can't steer. So have to do the same as before shut car off restart car goes away then goes out again in a few seconds. Had the car sense it was new. Look up recall #14V153000 Bulletin 14116 an called Dealership they said it is not covered. So how can I get a dealership to except what I found and fix the problem to make my Pontiac G6 safe to drive without having to pay for what's not my problem?
