Power steering malfunction on 2000 Alero with 67,000 miles.
While stopping to get gas at night I pulled up to the pump, my "change oil" light went, on and the power steering assist failed. Close to home, so no danger, and drove to change oil next day at station. They said that it wasn't a loss of power steering fluid , and to bring the car to dealer. Drove mostly straight , slowly, on city streets to dealer repair shop. The car is currently in the dealers shop.
I have had multiple problems with this car from the day I purchased it, 3 wks after purchase is when the pwr steering went out and I was 400 miles from home w/o assistance. Crefuses to recognize any of these problems and I feel this car is a lemon and safety hazard to me and my family.
