Anyone elses Power Steering take a shit???
Anyone elses Power Steering take a ****???
I had the recall done last year. (it was fine, I just figured to get it done bc it was free)
Now I have been having a lot of problems.
Power steering message flashes, my car lock symbol comes on, sometimes all my gauge needles drop.
the worst problem when my power steering goes out is that when I try to turn my wheel my whole steering column clicks really loud like a relay going bad.
I took my car in yesterday to the dealer and told them I was not paying for anything even tho my car is out of warrenty. it is an 07 and I only have 35 k on it. I told them this is total bullshit that my powersteering is doing this and if I wreck bc of it gm is going to have a lawsuit on their hands.
well they 1st said it was the powersteering module, but then they were confident if was the ignition switch. replaced ignition switch, and now it fucked up again. and now they think it is the module again. like the first thought! (i literally left dealer and 10 sec down the road the steering went out again)
i ended up having to pay 140 bucks and only thing I got free was the ******* part that didnt need replaced in the 1st place
now I am left spending 140 and car still isnt fixed. car goes back next week and they are saying I may need a whole new steering column.....I can afford that ****. they better fix it or gm will be getting a call. this car is way to babied and way to well taken care of for crap to just be breaking.
anyone else have similiar issues with powersteering? any suggestions?

Mine is going out again. I got it replaced the first time when the recall came out. This was probably a year ago. And now I can notice it going out when I am hardly moving then it picks back up and power steering kicks in. I'm going to take it to the dealership this week and have them fix it.
