Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Power steering was displayed on message center and a light with vehicle and wrench came on for a short period. diagnostics were performed and found code cc0460. this was traced to a shorted steering sensor. they had to replace the whole steering column because the sensor is part of the assembly. i have read numerous complaints about the power steering light being displayed on the message center and then the power steering went out on the car. my power steering did not go out on the car because i drove it to the dealership right away. i was wondering if there is a recall or service bulletins on this problem to off set the cost of repairs for the sensor, which has to be replaced with a whole steering column, for a total of $850.12 in parts and labor. thank you. *jb
