My power steering notice came on and I had no power steering. There is a recall 14115 for eps on 2010 cobalts. Took car to dealer and called general motors. They did not honor the recall to replace my eps motor. They said my VIN shows it is not part of the recall. Why is my electric power steering motor not under this recall? It failed. I was parked when the light came on and had no power steering. Why is my car excluded? Gm needs to be investigated concerning this matter!
