Just shut the engine off in any car with a power steering pump while you're driving, it's easier than disconnecting stuff...yeah it's different, but it's not like you're suddenly going to drive the vehicle into a wall because of it. Electric power steering is just something that's still kinda new so people are afraid of it...just like electronic throttle's...how many people still think Toyota's actually had a problem? Do you think any of them know the "fix" that was done under warranty involved (for most dealer mechanics who found a faster way to do it than using the Toyota tool) a hack saw blade and some tape? Every model of car will have some examples of problems with every piece of that car...until you actually see a TSB for it, it's just 1 or 2 cars having problems, and I'm sure GM will fix them.
