| 2007 | STEERING | I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY ON THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR BEEPS TWICE AND THE WORDS "POWER STEERING" APPEARS ON MY DASH. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT'S EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT. I NEED TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON TO REGAIN STEERING. THE FIRST TIME I EXPERIENCED THIS WAS IN OCTOBER 2009. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD ME THE CAR AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS JUST SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED WITH COBALTS. THE PROBLEM WAS FAIRLY INCONSISTENT UNTIL THE PAST MONTH, IT NOW HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. I FIND IT HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN I AM TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE CAR NEEDS TO BE TURNED OFF AND BACK ON TO REGAIN STEERING. USUALLY THE STEERING GOES OUT ABOUT EVERY TEN TO FIFTEEN MINUTES. *TR |
