Description of the problem	My car was manufactured in 12/12. I took my car in last year because suddenly my power steering quit working on me. My husband man-handled the steering and drove it 70 miles to the nearest dealership in lubbock, tx. They said it was a computer error and hooked up a device and said they updated the computer software, no parts replaced. Today, suddenly my power steering quit working again. I read online there is a recall but my vin doesn't show up as recalled. I can't drive it because no power steering but more importantly it says it can catch on fire. The vehicle was in motion, leaving our 1/4 mile driveway and turning. I refuse to go in and have them do a computer reset and not replace the part that could catch on fire, becauses my vin is not on the recall list. This is twice in less than one year.
