POWER STEERING SUDDENLY STOPS WORKING AND INDICATOR LIGHT ON DASHBOARD SAYS POWER STEERING- THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. MOST OF THE TIME SHUTTING OF THE VEHICLE AND THEN RESTARTING IT WILL GET THE POWER STEERING WORKING AGAIN FOR A SHORT TIME. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE OR ALLOWING IT TO IDLE IN THE DRIVEWAY THEN TURNING IT OFF IT WILL NOT START AGAIN FOR A MINIMUM OF 1 HOUR. WHILE DRIVING -SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN- THE ENGINE HAS ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF AND NOT IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE VEHICLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHILE DRIVING POWER STEERING BECOMES INTERMITTENT. GOES OUT THEN RETURNS WHILE DRIVING OR AFTER BEING TURNED OFF. CHEVROLET HAS REPLACED EPS UNIT 3 TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS. AGAIN THE EPS IS INTERMITTENT, NOW WE ARE BEING TOLD IT IS A SHORT. I READ THAT THE RECALL FOR THE EPS INCLUDES A TORQUE SENSOR WITH DEFECTIVE OR FAULTY CONTACTS, GM HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS. CHEVROLET SAYS THE VEHICLE HAS A SHORT AND IT NOT A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE. 74,471 MILES ON VEHICLE
