| 2005 | STEERING | OUT OF THE BLUE MY BOYFRIEND AND I WERE ON OUR WAY HOME IN MY 2005 CHEVY COBALT AND WE HEARD A DING AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON IN THE CAR AND WE TOTALLY LOST POWER STEERING. THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER. THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING GREAT UNTIL THIS. ONCE I SHUT OFF THE CAR AND LET IT SIT FOR AWHILE I WILL GET THE POWER STEERING BACK BUT WITHIN A DAY OR 2 IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING AND LOSE THE POWER STEERING WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING. I HAVEN'T FIXED THE CAR YET SO I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH IT IS GOING TO COST BUT I WAS TOLD BY THE GARAGE THAT THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN TO FIX IT. I LOVE MY COBALT BUT I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE WAY THIS JUST FAILED AND IT HAPPENED 3,000 MILES AFTER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED. I'VE BEEN READING THAT THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO OWN COBALTS. *TR |
