Power steering stops working.

- Canton, OH, USA

6 months ago the power steering on my 2006 Chevy Cobalt stop working. Car was over warranty & took it to ray price Chevy dealership, mt pocono pa. Charged me $907 to repair the power steering column and box (electric). Car did not appear to be handling as prior to failure & replacement. Took car back several times and svc mgr would not look at it. Said there was nothing he could do. I continued to use the car with slightly irregular power steering. On 2/3/2010 I was going to work on lightly snow covered rd which I have been driving for 26 yrs. I had the car in low gear and had snow tires on the car. I drove around downhill winding road and could not bring the car's steering back under control. I hit a few trees just missing an enbackment. I suffered minor injuries at the time & did not go to the hospital. I called the police. The car was not driveable and towed to D'amcio autobody shop, scotrun, pa. The body work took 28 days to complete. When I picked up the car on 3/2/2010, Mr. D'amico told me the power steering was not working correctly & the car was not safe to drive. Greg smith ins appriaser agreed with Mr. D'amico and said there was absolutely no internal damage to the car causing the power steering now to be broken. I heard seveal times on news that ge was recalling 2005 -2010 Chevy Cobalts due to power steering failure. I called ge corporate customer svc dept and they gave me a incident #. they called me and I called them several times and they did not know exactly when car would be checked. They said they had past my info on. When I asked to speak to someone it the dept that now had my incidient they would not give the name of person. I have no car to drive to work & ge will no offer a solution. Ge should take responsibility for all monies past & present related to power steering incidents and accident. Ge should loan me a used car from a dealership until they fix car & buy back car. I will never feel safe again in the car.

I have a 2006 Chevy Cobalt. A few months after my 3 year warranty expired, I noticed that something within the front end of the car would start to shake at certain speeds. I took my car to an independent garage & was told my power steering motor case was cracked. I called GM to find out if covered by an extended warranty & was told no. I asked the rep if there had been other complaints about Chevy Cobalt power steering, at first she said no, then she said none that she was aware of. The mechanic at the garage told me the part alone to repair this problem would be over $800. He thought it should be covered by a warranty as it is a safety issue. Since the mechanic said the price of the part should go down with time, I continue to drive my shaky Cobalt hoping the power steering will not go out on me.
