2007 CHEVROLET HHR Complaints

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT APPROX. 15MPH WHEN THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND STEERING WAS HARD AND NON RESPONSIVE. I COULD NOT STEER THE CAR. I STOPPED THE CAR, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN ON AND RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. THIS IS THE FIRST INSTANCE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. *TR

THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAM ON, AND THE VEHICLE BECAME HARD TO STEER. TURN THE ENGINE OFF, AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY.

I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD RECALL THE HHR AS WELL. *TR
