2008 Chevrolet HHR

The power steering went out as we were dealing with a starter issue. it indicated only once on the dash that there might be something wrong with the power steering. now it's completely gone. the dash doesn't show any information that there could be an issue. it's very hard to take turns. both wide or tight. it takes a lot of strength to get the steering wheel to move. if i drive it, moving from lane to lane is difficult. i now have it back in the shop for the mechanic to check it out and run a diagnostic test on the electrical system.

While driving my 2010 chevy hhr, i had just exited the highway and was entering the speedway fuel station, my steering just seemed to lockup on me and a dash alert flashed "service esc" then i suddenly lost all power! in order to avoid any major tragedy like colliding with a gas pump or another vehicle, i was able to run it into the curb i felt like my arms were nearly ripped from the sockets. after having it towed to my home and the following day towed to a mechanic. discovered that the experience was not exclusively mine, apparently some 444 others had as well. i checked for recall notices was told that the recalls were closed and repairs were done. i would like to know by whom, when and where exactly! it obviously was not done permanently nor satisfactorily as i'm very sore now, but could have been killed!
