The power steering sensor keeps going out on our car, disabaing the power steering, it's happened every year around the same time. There is an active recall and chevy has repaired it 3 times and is now refusing to fix it again, yet it's a recurring issue. Is there anything we can do? It's a $600+ fix, that's alot of money for something that keeps breaking.
