Power steering notice randomly appeared on my radio. The power steering shut off while driving my car almost causing a crash. I had to turn the car off and start it again in the middle of the road to get it to work. I was told by gm customer service that they do not cover this issue even though many people are experiencing the same problem. This is a dangerous issue that needs to be addressed.
