I was driving the automobile at about 65 miles an hour when a dashboard light came on saying power steering. At this time it became hard to steer. I pulled over in the breakdown lane, switched the ignition off and switched it back on. This corrected the problem for a short time, now it's a daily random problem.

I was going into a left hand curve and all of a sudden the power steering went out and the dash started dinging the power steering warning light.

While driving power steering began cutting out and then would come back on after restarting, but eventually failed completely. The car is now very difficult to steer at slow speeds or hard turns. Apparently this model has a history with this problem but GM will not cover it.

Losing power steering assist at random times. Occurring 3-4 times daily, at high and low speeds. When car is turned off and back on, power steering resets and works again. Fuse is damaged each time power steering is lost, and fuse is replaced after each occurrence.

The power steering is not functioning. It just stopped working, noticed it while pulling out of the garage. GM has done recalls an similar if not the same problem just in different models coblat and G5 or G6.

- Oklahoma City , OK, USA

Driving down the highway at approx 60mph when the steering indicator light came on and I lost power steering. Incident was on 6 lane freeway in morning traffic, not the best time to loose steering. After doing extensive research, this is an ongoing unacknowledged problem. GM does not recognize this as a malfunction, although the dealers I have spoken to, since this happened this morning, are well aware of the problem.

Dash lights up on message board power steering, it quits work, but will turn manually but hard. Cut the car off and start again and it works"??? some said it the square fuse gone and to replace it???"

- Atlanta, GA, USA

While traveling on highway in Washington DC and going around a curve, the power steering failed, causing my car to veer into the next lane before I could force it back. I was lucky it was very early so there was no car in the other lane. After doing research online, I have found many people complaining about the same issue with the HHR. It also sounds like the same issue as the cobalt, G5 and Saturn, which have had recalls/special extended coverage. This was very frightening and this could easily cause a major accident. I was very lucky.

When I started the car in the morning the read out on the dash said "power steering problem". the wheel would not turn at all. I restarted the car and the steering worked. I took it to castle Chevrolet, villa park, il. For repair. They changed the power steering column assembly costing me $811.45. I found out that the Chevy cobalt 2007 is subject to recall #10V073000, March 3, 2010 for the same part. I feel this part should be recalled and I should get a full refund. Did I mention how dangerous this is" loss of steering at 60 mph? what is Chevy waiting for, fatality"

- Oak Brook, IL, USA

At any speed and at random times my power steering will go out. I have had to pull over and shut the car off 10 times in 30 miles to reset the power steering motor to get home safely. There is a recall for Chevrolet cobalt and Malibu for the same issue. Upon research on the internet there are multiple people that are having the same issue. When GM was contacted I found out that my power steering motor that cuts out is the same part number as the one in the cars under recall for the same issue. This has made me almost lose control going around turns and I feel that it is a hazard to anyone that drives the HHR's with the same power steering motor. Thank you for your time.
