| 2006 | STEERING | 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT-POWER STEERING FAILURE. I HAVE NO POWER STEERING IN THIS CAR NOW. THE ELECTRICAL UNIT THAT POWERS THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT-FAILED. I TOOK THE CAR TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST AT THE VERY LEAST $800.00 TO FIX. I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. MY SON USES THIS CAR DAILY (NOW WITH NO POWER STEERING) TO AND FROM WORK AND TO SCHOOL. HIS COMMUTE IS 1 HOUR ON THE INTERSTATE ONE WAY. MY SON FOLLOWS A WEBSITE FOR COBALT OWNERS AND TELLS ME THAT ALMOST ALL OF THE EMAILS ON THE WEBSITE ARE REGARDING THE FAILURE OF THE ELECTRICAL UNIT FOR THE POWER STEERING. WE HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK AND FUEL INJECTORS ON THIS CAR. WILL THERE BE ANY RECALL FOR THE CHEVY COBALT? THERE SHOULD BE!!!L *CN |
