Sudden loss of power steering assist while driving vehicle. Found that a recall for this failure was in place. Taken to the dealership and because the part (power steering motor) had been replaced previously they said it would not be covered. Called the gm line and once more they wouldn't give an answer even after talking to the supervisor. Vin does not show up in the recall lookup, but the VIN number falls within the range of covered vehicles on the official bulletin. In my opinion, replacing a defective part with another defective part is not honoring their recall. 2010 pontiac g5 bulletin no.: 10023 recall no.: 10v073000 recall date.: 03/03/2010 VIN: [xxx] date of failure: 08/01/2019 part: power steering assist motor newest part #: 19368293 they have changed the part # numerous times. (which I believe indicates a recurring issue) when calling the gm line they could not give a complete answer. Talked with the supervisor, who said it had to be discussed with the dealership's service advisor. I requested what the answer would be if it was confirmed that it was the same issue that was specified on the recall and still they refused to give me any clear information. Basically, it came down to either spend the $205 for the part and replacing myself, or gambling another $200 to take it in and have it possibly covered. ($400 quoted for parts and labor.) I chose to replace myself. Their records show that this car has had the recall repair performed installing the newer "fixed" part. But having the exact same defect happen still very early in the parts lifetime makes me question how many cars they claim to have fixed that still have this failure hazard. There is no warning, power steering assist just suddenly stops. Thanks, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Have no power steering at times when I start the car. I have to cut it off and restart it. Only had this car for 2 months now after purchasing from a car lot, which I still pay on at this time

The power steering warning light comes on and there is a sudden loss of power steering assist. You will just be driving down the road, city street or interstate and the car will ding," the power steering light comes on" and you are without power steering. The previous 2 times, my son stated he was able to pull to the side of the interstate, turn the vehicle off, wait a few minutes, turn it back on and it was fine. That is not the case since 2/10/2016, there is no power steering. There is a recall for this year, make and model but I am told it is not under the recall. How is that possible? It is doing everything the recall states, it is one of the makes and models specified and yet I am being told it is not covered under the recall? This is my son's car, he could have been killed. Without the power steering, it takes great effort to turn and you definitely cannot make any tight turns, it was all we could do to get it home. My son stated it has done this twice in the past 6 months.

I will be driving and all of a sudden a lost power steering. This happened on a left turn where I was not ready to perceive no power steering and came very close to an accident. This should not happen and there should be a recall on these cars. Also I have a parasitic battery drain which started after the ignition key was changed for the third time. This time they had to reprogram car and key. This happen in oct 2014. Please reply to my email.
