Al of the sudden the power steering warning light went on April 8 when I started to work. There was no problem on the way to work, when I was driving home, the light went on again and I could not control the steering for several minutes. I pulled over for a minute until I got home. I spoke with my hubby who said I should call the dealer. We proceeded to check the internet for any other problems that had been reported to find that this is a common problem. I am now afraid to drive the car because the steering went out of control and I could not. I treasure my life. I bought this car used 2 years ago and had problems in turning-a clicking when I turned right or left-this was supposedly fixed by the garage. Can this be fixed--that is the power steering problem and paid for by the dealer? OH I was on an intercity street going straight. Can the dealer buy the car back from me or pay for the repairs? as I mentioned, I am now afraid to drive the car. Should I take it into the dealer or garage or wait to talk with you?.
It's hard to drive my car now the brakes power steering and light has to be changed frequently.
Power steering light would come on and off and then while driving ps went out. Had to stop and restart engine and then power steering worked. Did this for several weeks and then dealership said diagnostic codes were c0550 and c0460. Found internal malfunction at pscm. Replaced and never a problem until the same thing happened 2/7/2014 with 165,000 miles. Has to be a defective pscm. Needs to be recalled. Safety issue. Gm not good at recalling.
