description: I WAS DRIVING DOWN A DIRT ROAD TRAVELING BETWEEN 15 AND 20 MPH. I HAD MADE IT SAFELY UP THE ROAD AND DOWN THE ROAD TILL I STARTED TO TURN A CORNER. IT WAS A BLIND CORNER AND AS I STARTED TO TURN I NOTICED THE STEERING WAS REALLY TOUGH TO CONTROL. I HAD LOST POWER STEERING, THE CHANGE WAS SO SUDDEN AND IT CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO JERK THAT I LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND SLIDE ACROSS THE ROAD AND INTO A VERY DEEP DITCH. THE ANGLE I IMPACTED CAUSED DAMAGE TO MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE BUMPER, FENDER, DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND REAR DOOR PANELS AND REAR BUMPER. IT ALSO CRACKED MY BUMPER IN TWO PLACES AND BROKE PART OF THE DRIVER SIDE SPLASH GUARD LOOSE. THERE LOOKED TO BE DAMAGE TO THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT AS WELL. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY HAVE ORDER A REPLACEMENT MOTOR FOR THE CAR AND REFERRED ME TO THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TO FIND OUT WHETHER THE OTHER REPAIRS THAT NEED TO BE DONE WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GM. ON A SIDE NOTE I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM ISSUING THE RECALL AND STATING THAT I WILL BE SENT A LETTER WHEN PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE. *TR
