AFTER BEING PARKED IN A PARKING GARAGE, THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS TURNED ON IN ORDER TO LEAVE AND THE POWER STEERING ALERT IMMEDIATELY CAME ON. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS FROZEN. THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES. WHEN TURNED BACK ON, THE ALERT WAS GONE AND THE CAR STARTED AND DROVE NORMALLY. THE STEERING ON THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED BY THE DEALER THROUGH A RECALL (10V073000) SEVERAL YEARS AGO WHEN THE POWER STEERING FIRST FAILED. APPARENTLY THE POWER STEERING IS IN THE PROCESS OF FAILING AGAIN.

I HAVE A LARGE FUEL LEAK AND CHEVY HAS A RECALL FOR 2008 TO 2010 VEHICLES WITH RUSTED FUEL LINES, AND MY 2007 SHOULD BE INCLUDED WITH THE RUSTED FUEL LINES RECALL. I THINK GM SHOULD REEVALUATE THE YEARS THIS IS AFFECTING. MY CAR HAS UNDER THE MILEAGE IT SHOULD HAVE AND I HAVE KEPT MY VEHICLE UP TO DATE WITH ALL SERVICES! THE RECORDS ARE AT ROSEVILLE CHEVROLET IN ROSEVILLE, MN. THAT IS WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR NEW, AS WELL. THE FUEL LINES ARE LEAKING VERY BADLY. I'M IN HOPES THEY WILL RECTIFY THIS SITUATION.

2-3 WEEKS AGO I GOT IN MY CAR TO GO SOMEWHERE. FROM THE TIME I PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY MY CAR WAS IN LIMP MODE. AT THE SAME TIME MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AIR BAG LIGHT, POWER STEERING LIGHT, SERVICE TRACTION LIGHT AND THEFT LIGHT ALL CAME ON. I GOT MY CAR BACK TO THE HOUSE AND WHEN I SHUT IT OFF IT WOULD NOT START BACK. I HOOKED IT UP TO THE OBD2 SCANNER AND THE CODES THAT CAME BACK WERE P1682( FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH) AND CODE U0101(TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE).
