There are recalls on many Saturn for steering issues. Call GM dealer;ask if yours is covered. Check fuses/connections/wires. Power steering motor switch cuts off when overloaded until the power steering motor cools. This switch and module come in one unit and can be installed in about 1hr.

Yes there is special coverage for the steering on that car depending on the last 8 of the vin.What is the last 8 of the vin?The coverage goes 10yrs from the cars in service dat meaning when it was first bought at the dealer.Or 100,000 miles which ever comes first.
