| 2010 | STEERING | WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON, THERE IS A DING, AND SUDDENLY THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. IT FIRST HAPPENED 10 DAYS AGO AND HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES EVERYTHING THE CAR IS DRIVEN. THE POWER STEERING WILL RESET IF THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED, BUT IT WILL SOON GO OUT AGAIN WITHIN SECONDS OR MINUTES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND HAS CAUSED US NEAR ACCIDENTS. I SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON HHR'S OF MULTIPLE MODEL YEARS. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. I HAVE NEVER HAD POWER STEERING ON A VEHICLE JUST GO OUT BEFORE. THIS IS A LATE MODEL CAR AND AN ISSUE OF THIS TYPE AND OF THIS FREQUENCY DEFINITELY POINTS TO A DEFECT AND NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE. A RECALL IS NEEDED! *TR |
