2008 CHEVROLET HHR Complaints

JUST WONDERING WHY ARE THERE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT? I HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW (MY ARMS ARE PERFECTLY TONED) BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS. WE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS THE 2009-2010 HHR OWNER BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO HAVE AN ISSUES, ACCIDENT, OR DIE FOR SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP

TRAVELING ON CURVY HIGHWAY WE HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING, STOPPED CAR AND SHUT ENGINE OFF AND LOOKED CAR OVER AS WELL AS FUSES. WHEN WE STARTED CAR THE POWER STEERING WAS WORKING. TALKED TO CHEVROLET DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT ON ANY RECALL AND WAS GOING TO COST UP TO 350.00 TO CHANGE. SINCE THAT TIME WE HAVE LIVED WITH IT DUE TO FINANCES, OVER THE LAST MONTH IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND HAPPENED 6 TIME TODAY. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2009 HHR'S (#14119) BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE 2008 THAT I AM SURE THEY ARE USING THE SAME PARTS ON THIS MODEL AND AND OTHERS SO WHY NOT INCLUDE 2008 MODELS.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD...I HEARD A DING AND THE "POWER STEERING" MESSAGE CAME UP ON THE DIC...IT WAS VERY HARD TO TURN LEFT OR RIGHT....WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF....STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL.....BUT THE PROBLEM KEEPS COMING BACK AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND AT DIFFERENT TIMES..SOMETIMES IT MAY TAKE A DAY OR TWO BEFORE IT COMES BACK...BUT IT DOES COME BACK.....I'VE SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. I HOPE A SOLUTION IS FOUND TO PREVENT THIS FROM POSSIBLY INJURING OR KILLING SOMEBODY....OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A PROBLEM AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT
