Lose Power Steering problems of the 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt

While driving to a local business in my 2010 chevy Cobalt, I lost the power steering to my vehicle without any warning. Thankfully I was driving slowly on a straight road with minimal traffic. I was able to drive the vehicle back home. To have the power steering quit suddenly was shocking and frightening and I'm very thankful that I wasn't driving in more challenging conditions.

Car lost power steering while driving. I stopped, turned the car off, turned it back on, steering was back to normal. Later that day while driving, car lost power steering again.

While driving down a side street the power steering warning light came on and I lost all power steering control. At this time it became very difficult to steer and turn the wheel, I was able to get it back to my house, but moved extremely slow due to lack of control. I had the vehicle in the shop for other issues, not related to this and thought they might have said something about a recall, if there was one but they did not and their system is down to check that now.

I was driving my chevy Cobalt 2010 when I lost my power steering in August 2013. Although this was fixed during the 2010 recall, another faulty part was installed in my car and I lost my power steering while driving three years later. *** safety concern is that gm is not including all chevy Cobalts 2010 for the steering assist motor and steering column. **** they are including "some" models assuming that the cars they fixed in 2010 have safe parts. That is not true. There are numerous people that had had these parts fail after the 2010 recall. Please see other people who have also had this issue after the recall. . Read more...

I was driving home to visit my parents. Was getting ready to turn left at a busy intersection and lost power steering. When I got to my parents house researched power steering online and saw where it may be just a one time occurrence. When I started my car later on I noticed that my power steering was fine. I had no more problems while visiting family. That following Sunday I was on my way home and lost power steering again while driving at 10 pm on the interstate speed of 65 mph. My first car had no power steering so I've been able to cope but it's getting worse, in to turn around in my parking lot I have to turn my car of then back on in order to have enough power steering to make the tight turn. It's been a couple of months now I've tried to contact the only chevy dealership in my area with no response from them. I was finally able to drop it off the other day at the dealership I purchased the car from originally, I was informed this morning that my car was not covered under the recall for power steering and will cost me $500 to replace. Within the last couple weeks my car has also started making a thumping type noise as well. It sounds like my front passenger tire is about to fly off the axle. Not sure what is causing that - waiting to hear from the dealership on that. I feel like I'm riding in a deathtrap.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt. The contact stated that while traveling approximately 20 mph, the power steering warning light illuminated as the vehicle lost power steering assistance. The vehicle was shut down then restarted and functioned normally. The contact stated that the failure recurred multiple times. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 10v073000 (steering). The failure mileage was approximately 53,000.

I was turning onto webster st when I suddenly lost my power steering causing me to hit a curb. There was quite a bit of damage done to the right side of my vehicle causing it to be inoperable.
