Power steering gave out on a u-turn. Shut off the engine and it worked again. Looked it up on line and found out there was a recall. I brought it to rotolo chevrolet in fontana,ca (the place where I bought it). They told me that there was a recall and they replaced my motor already. They charged me $100.00 and told me that they could put an upgraded motor in for another $200. The car was not repaired. You can buy the motor on line for $80. It's under the dash, two bolts and a plug to pull out. It takes ten minutes and a 12 mil wrench.
