Electric power steering my vehicle was first affected by loss of power steering when I was attempting to make a left turn from my driveway. I wasn't expecting I would have a hard time and take too long to turn the wheel and I almost got hit by oncoming traffic. It was like that for awhile and then my steering went back to normal. I took my car to my mechanic and was informed that the power steering module and motor will need replaced. They told me to go to a Chevrolet dealer to get a power steering recall replacement done. The Chevrolet dealer informed me that the recall replacement had already been done in 2010. My mechanic and my own research has led me to believe that these parts should be good for the life of the car or at least not be needing replaced again so soon. There have been approximately 46,000 miles put on this car since the recall was done and this just seems ridiculous to me that it would need replaced again. And I have heard from other Cobalt owners that they have had this same problem. This is an expensive repair and poses a risk of injury if it is not fixed. If other people are having this problem I think it needs to be investigated.

Im driving and all the gauges go wacko swinging back and forth, anti theft light comes on check engine light ABS light low fuel light traction light. It reads service traction power steering low fuel every light you can think of comes on and the car even jerks when changing into gear. At times the steering even has locked up on me, thank god at those times I was on a residential street and not freeway. At times it wont even start all the lights are just going basurk. Then theres days where its normal like it never even happened. Im afraid its going to lock up on me on the freeway and im going to have a serious accident!! the 2 recalls that my vechicle had have already been replaced but there is still issues!! this car needs to be completely recalled, I researched the issue im having and found out many many other people are having the same issue. Some people have even died!!! others major accidents, what more has to happen for this vehicle to be recalled" how many more people have to loose their lives?" this is a serious issue that needs to be taken care of asap!!! and when this issue occurs with the lights and gauges going crazy it happens as im driving. I pray nothing happens to my 3 yr old daughter and I. this issue has been happening for about an year now off and on.

Hard to turn steering wheel sometimes when driving.

- Brazoria, TX, USA

When leaving my assigned parking space, I've had 3 different incidents of the "power steering" warning signal and loss of power to steer without having to turn the wheel very hard. I do know if I turn the car off for about 30 seconds, it will resume normally. I have not had it happen during driving as of yet. Not sure if my VIN number is on the recall list since the car is almost 0 years old.

- Severn, MD, USA

My son bought a used 2007 Chevy colbalt and the power steering goes out some time while he is driving, mostly in reverse for example: Reversing out of that parking space or driveway. The wheel can be very hard to turn. I saw that there was a recall on it maybe two years ago, but I don't see a current recall for the steering. This has been happening every now and then since we bought the car two months ago. It just happened again 3-19-17. This car is not driven often right now until he gets his permanent license.

The power steering light came on when I was driving my vehicle on the highway. The speedometer stoped working, my car wouldn't shift past first gear. My door locks started locking and unlocking uncontrollably by themselves. My steering wheel was harder to turn. I immediately got off the highway and chose a safer route to return home. I have a 1 year old daughter who is always with my wherever I go. I've researched and found the same issues with the same make year and model car.

Takata recall !!! I am having problems with my 2007 Chevy Cobalt. I called GM they stated the power steering has been replace June 26,2012. I have not taken the car in for that reason so how has it been replace. And if so why I am I having problems with it again. Then they told me the power steering was replace under my extended warranty. Which means the didn't pay for it my extended warranty did. They are not trying to help. The just stated. I was a recall and it has been replace. I asked for a signed document to show me proof that it had been replace and I not received anything as of today 3/8/2017. From the looks of all the articles on line I will not be getting any assistance from GM. Lives matter

I own a 2007 Chevy Cobalt. In 2013 my car went crazy. Power steering stopped working and all the electric components were all over the place. RPM's were going up and down, full tank of gas said it was empty, gear shifter was clicking, and the car was jerking like it wanted to stall. I called Chevy and they told me there were 2 recalls, during the same time my garage smelled strong like gas. I had the problem fixed twice. Now in December 2016 the car is going haywire again.power steering goes out, all electric components start flipping out and the anti theft system light comes on along with every other light on the dash. My 17 year old daughter now drives the car and it is completely unsafe considering she is unable to steer and all the electric components go out. This must be treated as a recall! I've seen thousands of the same complaints. This is extremely unsafe and can easily cause an accident. GM needs to take responsibility for this! does someone have to die before a recall fixes the problem? I paid cash for my car and bought it in 2007 with 12 miles on it. This is unacceptable and there needs to be a lawsuit against GM!
