| 2009 | STEERING | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TURNED OFF AND BACK ON IN ORDER TO RESET THE STEERING WHEEL BUT THE CONTACT STATED THE FIX DID NOT LAST VERY LONG. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY THE DEALER. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,000. WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS THE POWER STEERING LIGHT POPS UP AND THE WHEEL IS REALLY HARD TO TURN. ITS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN WHEN GETTING OUT THE PARKING SPOT. I HAVE TO TURN MY CAR OFF AT LEAST 2 TIMES TO STRAIGHTEN IT OUT BECAUSE ITS SO HARD TO TURN. ITS THE HARDEST TO TURN WHEN DRIVING SLOW. UPDATED 10/06/2011 *LN |
