2010 Chevrolet Hhr

I WAS DRIVING TO AN APPOINTMENT, WHEN MY POWER STEERING FLASHED ON THE DASH SCREEN AND MY STEERING WHEEL WENT FROM FLUID TO STIFF. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS SOON AS IT HAPPENED AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, THE STEERING WAS FLUID AGAIN, BUT THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAD CAME ON AS WELL AS THE ABS AND TRACTION. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS FLUID ONLY FOR A FEW MINUETS, AND THEN AFTER MAKING A FEW TURNS, I LOST THE STEERING ONCE AGAIN. I HAVE LEARNED OF A RECALL ON THE HHR'S POWER STEERING AND STARTER. I WILL GO TO THE DEALER AND ASK THEM WHAT THEY CAN DO. I AM FILING THIS SO IT IS NOTED IN THE RECORDS OF THE HAPPENINGS. *TR

SUDDEN LOSE OF POWER STEERING WITH POWER STEERING LIGHT COMING ON AND ENGINE STOPPING. LUCKILY WE WERE EXITING A SHOPPING AREA AND WAS ON A DOWNHILL GRADE AND WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE WITHOUT INCIDENT (EXCEPT THE IRRITATED TRAFFIC BEHIND ME). WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR WITH NO DIFFICULTY BUT THE POWER STEERING LIGHT IMMEDIATELY CAME ON AND INDEED THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. WENT TO A LOCAL AUTO PARTS PLACE WHO SAID THE FUSE LOOKED GOOD, BUT WE CHANGED IT ANYWAY, HOPING THIS WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT NO SUCH LUCK. I LIVE IN THE CITY AND WORK IN A METROPOLITAN AREA, THIS IS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION AND AT THIS POINT MY BICEPS AND SHOULDERS ARE GETTING PRETTY SORE. VERY DIFFICULT TO PULL IN AND OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. LOOKING BACK, I SEE HOW THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTEROUS. WHAT IF MY 16 YEAR OLD HAD BEEN BEHIND THE WHEEL? HOPE IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG TO GET REPAIRED. UPDATED 05/7/2015*JS
