There was difficulty with the power steering under all driving conditions. The power steering indicator light appeared within the driver information center. The current mileage at the time of service was 144,961 miles. On page 1 of the attached document, dealer diagnostics identified the steering torque sensor has an internal failure. On page 2, the vehicle was previously repaired under recall at 115,069 miles, and would not be replaced under recall at this time. The previous recall replacement part is obviously defective when, with less than 30,000 miles since recall replacement, the part failed again.

The last recall you took my vehicle in took the steering wheel positioning torque sensor out that was good because you thought it might go bad and cause a safety issue you replace it with one that went bad I almost got in an accident because of your repair. I called my GM dealer and they're refusing to stand behind. If it was a big enough safety issue to cause a recall. I think you need to recall it again. If the sensor you put in went bad you didn't correct the problem you only put another bad sensor in so you still have the same safety risk. This should be addressed before there's an accident and somebody dies because of your poor recall. I was driving 55 mile an hour on a corner my radio beat and said power steering the wheel jerked and it was really hard to steer.

- Jonesboro, IN, USA

Power steering warning appears and then power steering goes out. Local garage diagnosed as steering torque sensor. The steering usually works when you first start the car, but completely fails after a few minutes. Contacted local GM dealer and was told it was already fixed under the previous recall and there was nothing they could do. Apparently the parts are failing again.
