The power steering works intermittent. In the morning when it is cold there is no power steering for you park it in the sun and let the inside of the car heat up it will start working. Also, when it is cold if you let it run with the heater going on the floor it will start working after some time. The dealer is saying the steering control module is bad. I have seen that Buick has recalls for other models with the same issues.
