The electronic steering stops working intermittently. this causes the car to steer very hard and is definitely a safety issue. i've done some research and found that there has been recalls for this exact issue. when i enter my vin number of coarse it isn't included. the past recalls need to be extended as i see there are many others with the same issue and fall in the same category. it should not take a fatality before this happens. gm knows they have a very bad safety issue here and should held accountable for all the vehicles effected, not just a portion. this problem occurs when the vehicle is just started and while traveling down the highway. the car then has to be stopped, shut off and restarted for the issue to clear.
