WHILE DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY INCLUDING MY 18 MONTH OLD BABY IN THE CAR. THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND MY HUSBAND HAD TO USE WAY MORE MUSCLE AND STRENGTH THEN I HAVE TO STEER MY CAR. GM HAD INFORMED THAT I NEED TO PULL OVER SHUT MY CAR OFF AND RESTART IT. MY FEAR IS WHAT IF I AM GOING FASTER THEN 30 MPH AND DRIVING ON A FREEWAY. BUT AT THE TIME GM DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. BUT THEY DON'T FEEL IT IS DANGEROUS. UM ANY TIME A CAR IS NOT OPERATE TO ITS FULL POTENTIAL IT ENDANGERS THE ALL PEOPLE ON THE ROAD. *TR
