Takata recall/ I have a 2006 Chevy Malibu and in the past month every time I change the turn signals and brake light bulbs they are always blowing for no reason. And my car is starting to get a loud sound when I drive it and steering is getting hard sometime. I've looked for power steering to check fluid but everyone says mine is electric so I took it to auto zone and they said it was electric and I needed to fix the torque sensor assembly in my steering. I pretty sure there is a recall on that part. And also I think there a recall on a part on my transmutation. I'm trying to find out about recalls on my car. Can someone help me cause I've got my kids and grandkids that ride in it every day. Please help me.

The electrical power steering work was fixed prior to the recall, therefore was completed by a private repair shop. When the recall came out GM reimbursed me for the repairs, however now the car has to warm up for 10 minutes before power steering is able to work after it sits of the night. I contact GM regarding this problem, but they said since the work was completed by a private repair shop there was nothing they could do meanwhile I have to let it warm up daily (even at 50 degrees +) and is getting progressively worse.
