I have a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt and the power steering keeps going out/disabling/not functioning when being driven. This happens with no warning and very frequently and causes me to almost lose control of the car. I sincerely believe that something is wrong with the power steering pump or the steering column.
I own a 2006 chevy Cobalt LS that I purchase used from a chevy dealer with 70,000 miles here in miami. While driving my chevy Cobalt, I attempted to make a right turn and my power steering stopped working and I almost crash my vehicle into a pole gladly there was nobody standing or other vehicle near the incident. It has now become an repeated incident meaning that is happening frequently. When the temperature out side gets to cold or too hot it stop working. It also makes a bee noise. I check thru the website review other chevy Cobalt owners problem and they advice to remove the 60 amp fuse and place it back and it temporary correct the problem until it does it again. I took it to the dealer and they says that I have to replace the hold steering unit which over $1000 dollars which I do not have. I find out that the vehicle has a electronic steering gear instead of a hydraulic pump. I have done a research and find out that I am not the only person owning a chevy Cobalt that is having the same problem. I research thru you website and several people already report the same problem. It is a safety hazard and a chevy problem. Please I'm requesting that you guys investigate this problem further since is not an isolated problem. If you need to contact me please feel free. Please do not let someone get killed because of this. Thank you.
