Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Under normal driving conditions the vehicle abruptly lost steering, i was able to get off the main road by coasting. luckily there were no cars around mine at the time. the steering was non- existent at that time. i had the car towed to the dealer, they fixed the problem at $465.00. i looked on the nhtsa web site and found a recall relative to my situation. nhtsa id# 94v170000, component steering manual gearbox, mfg campaign# 95c01 1995 saturn sl. the note on this recall is that the dealer will replace the vehicle's manual steering assembly free of charge. the dealer was extremely uncooperative and stated they don't have a recall for my car and i would have to pay. they said they don't care what nhtsa says about this recall it is my responsibility to pay for the sudden failure of the steering. please assist me in this matter. i have requested the old steering part. i will hold on to it once recieved. i want my money back from saturn and others to be safe with similar safety threatening issues with the 1995 saturn sl sedan. *ak
