Lose Power Steering problems of the 2007 Saturn Outlook

Accelerated to get on interstate 41 to 65 mph. Heard a unusual noise. Lost all power steering (ps) , had to use manual/hard to steer control. No warning light came on, no idea of what was happening. Drove car home at a reduced speed. Car maker notified me in September 2014 they had a "campaign" to replace pumps if failed before 150,000 mi. I had heard a ps whine noise and had taken the Outlook to the dealer in february2015, before the 150,000 mi and they said if it failed they would honor the campaign. They would not look at the ps fluid or listen to the noise.

Just had power steering pump replaced last week and now rack and pinion is ruined. Again almost hit a car no warning and since I just had the pump replaced this was totally unexpected. How are you allowing cars that intermittently lose power steering to be on the highway. Someone will eventually be killed. The garage said he has had many of these same problems with Outlook and acadia.

The first incident involving steering occurred when I hit a puddle in road. I lost all power steering and also had a whining in steering column. I've had multiple incidences since and now have little to no power steering. I've taken to the dealer for multiple issues including the steering issues. They have replaced the steering column and gear as well as moved the power steering cable. This provided a temporary fix however I have little to no steering now and am out of warranty. I have taken to multiple shops and am being told it could be pump or steering column again. The fixes are between $1400-2500 and may do one to find that the issue was the other. In researching online I am surprised there has not been a recall on these vehicles as well. There are a number of other gm products being recalled for same issue but not the Outlook. This occurs at low speeds and low rpms, this makes for dangerous city driving.
