| 2010 | STEERING | I HAVE A NEW 2010 COBALT AND I NOW FIND THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING , MY COBALT IS NOT PART OF THE POWER STEERING ASSIST RECALL . I STARTED NOTICING THE PROBLEM WHILE TURNING , I SEEM TO LOOSE POWER STEERING FROM TIME TO TIME AND I DON'T GET A WARNING LIGHT . THIS HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS AS WELL AS AT HIGH SPEEDS AND WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT IS HARDER AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS STIFF LIKE I SAY SEEMS LIKE I LOOSE POWER STEERING . I HAD IT INTO THE DEALER TO CONFIRM THAT IT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND THEY SAY THERE MECHANICS WHERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE SO THEY SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM AND THEY CHECKED THE POWER STEERING ASSIST AND THEY DID NOT SEE A PROBLEM WITH IT . THE TIGHT STEERING HAPPENS ON AND OFF AND DOES NOT SEEM TO FOLLOW ANY PATTERN . I STARTED NOTICING THIS PROBLEM AT ABOUT 15K KM . THERE WAS A NOISE IN THE FRONT END AND THE GM MECHANICS SAYS THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH SOMETHING IN THE STEERING COLUMN HOWEVER IT DID FIX THE NOISE BUT THE LOSS OR WHAT SEEMS TO BE A LOSS OF POWER STEERING CONTROL STILL THERE . *TR |
