Keep losing eps - electric power steering, while driving vehicle. While driving the vehicle, will lose the power steering part, and have to man-handle the wheel to maneuver the vehicle. There was a recall on it, of which I did not know about, did not receive notification. Now that I take it in to be fixed, am told that there is a limit of 150,000 miles on this recall, I am at 195,000. If I had known about, and received official notification, would have taken it in earlier. The eps error can happen on vehicle start up, or while driving the car.

I have my daughter my 2009 Saturn Aura for her 16th birthday. She began driving on Nov. 24th after completing driver's education course. She and her brother were driving to school today and the power steering went out. Luckily no one was hurt. When she arrived at school some boys came over and helped her. My daughter has been in the hospital, has an upcoming surgery, and now her car is a safety hazard. I searched my VIN to find a recall I was not aware of for the back break light. This is getting fixed this week! there is a recall on my car's electrical steering system recall: 14V153000 recall date 03/31/2014 component steering:electric power assist system recall: 14E044000 7/21/2014 component: Steering my VIN is not included in these recalls or many others it should be! I am a single mother of two children with no child support and mounting medical bills for my daughter. I cannot afford to fix something GM has recalled! my daughter doesn't deserve this! no one does! I love GM vehicles. I got a 2010 denali used so my daughter could have a car and help out the family. Now she cannot drive it at risk of hurting herself and others!!! and after seeing all there recalls I may get rid of all of these cars, once and if they can get fixed.

While driving on the interstate my dash warning signals power steering failure and the power steering immediately ceased working. I had to manually steer the car to the shoulder. I was fortunate that there were no cars behind me there is a special extension of warranty but GM will not repair over 150,000 it should be a mandatory safety recall.
