I have a 2007 Chevy Cobalt. The power steering flashes on my screen and then my steering wheel becomes all stiff. It makes it very difficult for me to park, reverse and turn my car. About 3 months ago the problem started. Then for about a month it completely went away. For the past month the problem has become much more severe and it the power steering flashes on right after I turn on my car. I took it to the deal the first time it became an issue and they said it was $895 to replace the steering column, I don't have the money to pay this and this car is my only transportation. I've been doing my research and found out that this has been a problem in many Cobalt drivers. I believe this should be a recall, its very dangerous!

Driving down the road with my 2 year old daughter in the car, and all of a sudden the power steering on my 2007 Chevy Cobalt ls went out. Almost caused a pile up as it was on a busy, main road. It was working okay if you turn the car off then on, but now it's stalling every minute or two. I have read this is an ongoing problem with the Chevy Cobalt. I don't understand, will it take lives being lost for this problem to be taken seriously? I am taking it to the dealer tomorrow and since it's under warranty I am assuming they will replace what needs to be replaced, but as I have read in other's complaints that isn't any guarantee that it will stay fixed.

I have a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. At the time of the problem, it had approximately 47,750 miles. As I was driving down the road the check power steering message came across the dic. At that point it was nearly impossible to turn the car as the power steering had failed. I drove the vehicle home and parked it for the night. When I went out the next day to drive to work, I turned the car on and the power steering worked just as it did the day I purchased the car. Upon taking it to the dealer and having the diagnostic test run on it, they said it appeared that there was a failure in the power steering motor.

The power steering on my 2007 Cobalt went out while I was driving at 45 mph on a curvy road. I turned off the car and when I started it back up it was working again. I then started back home and it went out again. The car is very hard to steer when it goes out. I have called the dealership to set an appointment up to have it worked on. I bought the extended warranty when I bought the car new.
