Description of the problem	Was driving at 45mph when all of the sudden all gauges, power steering, and engine went erratic. Lost power steering going down hwy. Car darted to the left a little. Took the car to dealer for a diagnostic. Was told by dealer that the data link circuit shorted causing electric short to power steering control module and it would be $1125. 00 to repair. I have filed a complaint with gm but haven't heard back from them. This should be a recall issue due to possible loss of control of car and causing a crash. Also a possible fire due to the electrical short they described to me on the invoice. The power steering and gauges are all still going erratic because i am trying to see if gm will fix this safety problem. This should be a safety recall do to the fact that a young driver or even female driver or anyone in fact could lose control of vehicle when the power steering control module decides to go out and come back on then go out again.
