Gm is not fixing the whole power steering issue in their Cobalts. I had the recall fixed, the power steerign motor, on 10/10/12 and three days later it failed again. I was exiting i95 in wilmington, DE and was very close to hitting the concrete divider on the exit ramp to us 202. The problem with the car is the whole steering column is faulty. Looking around in the internet shows many others that were told they needed to replace the steering column to fix the power steering issue, same as my dealer told me. But all gm is doing is fixing the chepest part. I have tried their customer service and get nowhere. They say they fixed my power steering problem and get all defensive when I tell them that it still happens. It happens after driving about 200-250 miles. Local trips are fine except that the steering looses feel and shakes and feels bumpy in the steering wheel. For the safety of all people on the road I feel you guys should test some Cobalts on a good 300 mile trip and see what happens. I'll even lend mine to you if you want.
