We bought a 2007 chevy Cobalt on 7-27-09. During the next month, there were several times when my son was driving the car when the power steering would go out, the gauges would go back and forth, the low fuel light would come on, the security light would come on and the car would jerk. If you turned the car off and tried to restart it, sometimes it would not start. On other occasions, the ps and gauges would intermittently go off and during the course of your trip. Most recently, while my son was driving to marion, the ps went off and on 12 times. We took the car to schott bros. In bucyrus on 9-8-09, and the codes it was displaying were somewhat generic, so they decided to replace the ignition switch which did not have any effect on the problem. It continued to act up. We didn't have the ps problem for about 3 months and then it started it acting up again. We took it back to schott bros. Again for service and it was still displaying the same generic codes, and when they contacted gm, they suggested changing the wiring between the ps module and the body control module. However, there was no guarantee that this would fix the problem and it would cost about $400. 00. This is a very dangerous problem and there should be a recall for this ps issue. According to gm's records, this car has had this problem for a long time prior to our purchasing the car and although the previous owner had taken it in for service, they were not able to fix the problem either. Again, I stress that it is very important that an investigation and recall is issued for this problem.
