Hi my name is [xxx]. I am having difficulties with the power steering in my 2009 saturn vue xe. This had been on ongoing problem approximately one month. I was instructed to return the car to the dealership for diagnosis. The warranty on my saturn is no longer needed service. The power steering problem has gotten much more worse over the course of time. It is becoming more and more difficult to maneuver or turn my vue. I am a 65 year old and my strength isn't where it used to be.
"takata recall" I have a 2009 saturn vue I loose my power steering at low speeds while turning right or left. It takes two hands and very difficult to turn.
