Steering shaft torque sensor (23232310 sensor kit) was replaced under the special warranty 3 years ago. This is failing again, so GM obviously still hasn't fixed the problem with this critical safety component. I again have intermittent power steering shaking, partial or complete loss. GM won't recall or cover this critical item even though it still has an obvious problem

The electronic steering assist will lose power so essentially will cause the power steering to go out at any given time. The current temporary remedy is to, turn off the key and wait. Restart the vehicle and the power steering will resume. I discovered this doing online research finding that this was a common recall for this vehicle in 2008 and 2009. But the date of manufacture for this vehicle. Was in 08/2008 making it a little over 1 month from being eligible for the recall. I contacted GM but was unable to talk to a live person and 2 GM dealers one of which previously sold the car, and got no results. This started out as a vibration and wobble in the steering wheel and has progressively gotten worse. The power steering so far has gone out upon starting the vehicle. My online research has named the recall on the same vehicle part malfunction as power steering electric assist.

The car was exiting the offramp at 70 mph when the power steering went out wile trying to execute a left turn with no power steering. I had a conversation with Saturn customer assistance center and the recall was turned into a # 15356 special coverage adjustment. I am on the GM corporate newsroom site where they state that it is a recall with my year vehicle. They also make a statement that by the V.P. jeff boyer in a looks like a press release to NHTSA regarding the recall. Jeff boyer states" 'with these safety recalls and lifetime warranties, we are going after every car that might have this problem, and we are going to make it right, ' said jeff boyer, vice president, GM global vehicle safety. 'we have recalled some of these vehicles before for the same issue and offered extended warranties on others, but we did not do enough.' Is he lying for my son driving the vehicle claimed it was a real issue. This was written on 3-31-2014. This is a safety issue and GM should take care of it regardless of the mileage and year which was not stated in this news release. Be the driver when this occurs it is very hard to control.

I pulled into a driveway and when I came out the power steering wasn't working at all. I had no warning about this, it just happened. Now it is happening every day and several times a day. The steering wheel shakes while I'm idling and shakes and pulls when driving. I had no problem or any kind of warning that this was going to happen. I am 58 yrs old and my mother is 85 yrs old and we share the car. I can barely steer it when it goes out, there is no way my mom could turn the wheel.. it first happened when I was parked, when I came out and started the car it was not working at all. The next several times it has gone out it's usually while driving and after having to make some tight turns or U-turns. Today it went completely out while I was driving slowly on the interstate.

Power steering goes out intermitantly and without warning. Great effort required to maintain steering in straight line and turning almost impossible. Just missed hitting another vehicle while turning today but has happened a number of times in the last 3 months. There is a service bulletin from GM to repair for free but it expired last year but the vehicle and others like it are still on the road after this "expiration" with an unsafe defect
