Thursday October 8, 2015 my wife got ready to go to work got in the car and backed up from the porch and then she noticed that the steering was real hard to turn. So she drove the car back into the porch and noticed that there was a warning on the dash that said power steering. She honked the car for me to go outside, she told me what was going on with the car and I too noticed it said power steering. I glad this happened on my porch because I had just arrived from phoenix, az on October 7 at 8pm, 2015. We could have been killed on the highway.

The steering wheel is hard to move.
While driving the power steering message comes on the dash and the steering is very hard, I turn off the car and back on,then it is fine, now it happens all the time, dealer sent me to chevy dealer which said no recall or extended warranty to cover repair, asked for corp number and got bogus number which is not corp number, I called back and asked again and that number there is never any answer. Have already done the email and spoke to rep with chevy before on this and she stated they had not heard of this issue before and would let me know but to bring to dealer and have fixed but to keep receipt for pay back if recall happens, is recalled in friends cobalt (same part #) but not in Hhr, I have now filed complaint with bbb. I am woman and carry my small grandkids in this car each day but I am getting stronger in my arms having to steer this way. Why is this Hhr not on the lemon list yet?.
The power steering in my 2007 Hhr stops working at random times. The steering wheel is hard to turn and once I turn it off and back on it works again. The power steering light comes on at the same time it randomly happens!.
I was driving the car at approx. 15mph when the power steering light came on and steering was hard and non responsive. I could not steer the car. I stoped the car, in the middle of the lane, turned the ignition off and then on and restarted the car and the problem went away. This is the first instance of this problem with this car.
