The steering has failed. A mechanic as well as research one online, indicate that the factory did recall the car to replace the original steering parts. This one has not yet been completed and GM is stating that the recall is jownvoid because of they required the car to be brought in for the recall prior to 10 years or 150,000. Is it at all possible that because this is a steering issue which is absolutely a safety concern, that the recall should be extended to all vehicles still operating and roadworthy?

The power steering will go out and service ESC light will come on. Sometimes the steering wheel will snatch when making a turn. The traction will disable and wont enable. When you turn the car off and back on the problem will go away.

The light just coming on has been about 6 months to a 1 yr. Now it's affecting me driving just started 2 days ago.

Noticed a several months ago that it was hard to turn my steering wheel when I would back out of a driveway or parking lot and then in the last month, the steering column has started to creak every time I turn it, even while driving on the road, both city and highway. I don't believe that this is normal wear and tear because I've never had this problem with my old vehicle (1998 Oldsmobile cutlass supreme). As far as I know, nothing has happened to create this problem with the steering wheel, but I started to notice that it was hard to turn on pavement a few months after I bought it and was driving it regularly (I didn't drive it a lot at first). I also noticed that if my vehicle was on gravel, it was easier to turn, but on pavement was harder to turn. I have been driving it a lot more lately, which is when I noticed it going from being hard to turn while backing out to a creaking noise being made while turning on the road.

While driving on freeway power steering went out. Extremely difficult to control car. I found that after the car was turned off, the steering works again. This happens all of the time and is very scary. I don't want to drive with my children in the vehicle. Also steering wheel goes back and forth when I am in park and not touching it. Steering feels loose.

Takata recall its a bad thing that the power steering is electric so you can't monitor it yourself and when it's mess up in the middle of driving it's nothing you can do I was in motion on the highway switching lanes and the steering wheel got hard to turn out of no where so I pulled over and my power steering light was on I believe it has something to do with the power steering and electrical

At times the power steering is fine; and then for an unknown reason the warning light comes on the dash and the power steering does not operate. The ESC light comes on too and off.

The power steering in this vehicle randomly and without warning malfunctions. Initially, the problem occurred very sporadically, and only when the vehicle was first started up and still in park. Turning the vehicle off, and then back on remedied the issue. However, the vehicle will now lose power steering while driving, causing the vehicle to be very difficult to steer. So far, it has only happened at low speeds, typically when I begin driving after stopping at a stop sign, red light etc. When it occurs, it takes extreme effort to pull the car over to the shoulder. It's as if the steering wheel is locked. Once pulled over, restarting the vehicle resolves the issue, although sometimes it takes several restarts. This is a dangerous situation that now happens daily. I was told that my 2009 Saturn Aura was not a part of the 2014 recalls that addressed this issue. I did not own the vehicle in 2014, so I cannot verify if the previous owner received any recall notifications. Because this is a common complaint, I believe that a recall should be issued for all 2009 Saturn Auras.

Vehicle steering locked up while in motion on a city street. After parking and restarting again the steering functioned, came to find out that this model has an electric steering system and does not permit steering fluid to be added.

My [xxx] daughter was driving her car and the steering went out. Her car has had the electric stability control turn on and the vehicle shut off in the middle of driving. This car is a huge hazard. I have never been notified of the recalls issued back in 2012 and 2014 regarding these issues and now no one will address them or fix them as they are expired.

- Clarksville, TN, USA

Was driving down tollway (I-294) in rosemont Illinois and started to exit at balmoral when I had a total loss of steering. It took extreme effort to steer car up the ramp at 30 mph. It felt like the steering wheel was stuck and you could only turn it about 45 degrees max in either direction. I managed to drive it home on side roads for several miles while constantly fighting to maintain control. It seemed to lock-up every time I turned a corner. When turning left, you would wind up on the right lane after completing the turn. You could not make a tight turn with the vehicle! several cars had to swerve around me as I was turning! the dashboard indicated the following "power steering/service ESC" when I got it in the garage at home, I shut engine off and then restarted. The problem seemed to go away. This is a very scary situation and I have read that GM recalled certain 2009 Saturn Auras for this problem. When I checked my VIN, no recalls were seen. I feel that this is a very dangerous vehicle to operate.
