WHEN THIS WOULD OCCUR, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE AND BEEP THREE TIMES BEFORE FAILURE. WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE CONTACT COULD MAINTAIN THE STEERING WHEEL, WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY. WHILE ATTEMPTING A TURN, THE CONTACT WOULD FEEL AS THOUGH HE WOULD POSSIBLY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AT HIS EXPENSE. THERE WERE NO REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE TO DATE. THERE WERE NO RECALLS, HOWEVER THERE WAS AN OPEN INVESTIGATION PERTAINING TO THE ALLEGED FAILURE (NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE10005: STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM). THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 68,290.

THE POWER STEERING DID NOT COME BACK ON THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF MY DRIVE. NOW EVERY TIME I TURN ON MY CAR, THE POWER STEERING WORKS FOR ABOUT ONE MINUTE, AND THEN IT FAILS AGAIN. I AM NOW HAVING TO CRANK MY WHEEL TO PARK, DRIVE ON NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS, ANYTHING THAT REQUIRES SLOWER SPEEDS. I HAD HEARD THAT THERE MAY BE A RECALL, AND WOULD LIKE TO WAIT TO SEE IF THIS REPAIR CAN BE DONE FREE OF CHARGE. IT IS AN ENORMOUS INCONVENIENCE AND MAKES ME FEEL UNSAFE BEHIND THE WHEEL OF MY OWN CAR. *TR

I DRIVE A 2006 CHEVY COBALT LT AND WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM COLLEGE MY "POWER STEERING" LIGHT FLASHED ON AND MY STEERING WHEEL IMMEDIATELY TIGHTENED UP. I WAS GOING ABOUT 65MPH ON A RT. 202 IN PENNSYLVANIA. I STRUGGLED TO GET OFF OF THE RAMP BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING HAD TIGHTENED UP AND MADE TURNING SO DIFFICULT. I WENT TO PEP BOYS TO GET POWER STEERING FLUID BUT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING AND ONLY THE MANUFACTURER COULD DO THE REPAIR. MY CAR JUST PASSED 45,000 MILES. I AM VERY UPSET THAT I AM BEING SO INCONVENIENCED WITH THIS BURDEN. I DID NOT PAY ALL THIS MONEY FOR A VEHICLE TO BEGIN TO BREAK DOWN PRIOR 100,000 MILES. WHEN I GOT HOME I WANTED TO LOOK UP HOW MUCH THE WOULD COST ME AND CAME ACROSS MANY OTHER COBALT OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. I AM SO SHOCKED THAT A RECALL HAS NOT OCCURRED YET. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL IN THE FUTURE SINCE I GUESS THAT IT WILL NOT BE A CHEAP FIX. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION. I HOPE YOU MAKE THE CORRECT DECISION. *TR

SHE STOPPED THE CAR, TURNED IT OFF, AND WHEN SHE RE-STARTED IT, THE POWER STEERING BEGAN WORKING AGAIN. SHE WAS ABOUT 35 MILES FROM HOME, AND HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT. I CALLED OUR LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM HAD BEEN REPORTED, AND NHTSA WAS INVESTIGATING. THE POWER STEERING CONTINUED TO SHUT OFF AND ON INTERMEDIATELY MORE THAN 8 OR 10 TIMES OVER THE 35 MILE TRIP. WE TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2010 AND PAID $47.00 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. IT WAS FOUND THAT STEERING MOTOR IS FAILING. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUED, AND WOULD APPRECIATE A FULL INVESTIGATION BEING CONDUCTED BY YOUR AGENCY. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED AT ONCE, AS THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG COBALT OWNERS, AND, AS I AM SURE YOU REALIZE, IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

Official recalls
5Apr 10, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR, 2007-2010 Pontiac G5, 2006-2010 Pontiac Solstice, 2003-2007 Saturn Ion, and 2007-2010 Saturn Sky vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the "Off" position.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the "off" position, the vehicle could roll away: (a) for an automatic transmission, if the transmission is not in the "Park" position; or (b) for a manual transmission, if the parking brake is not engaged and the transmission is not in the "Reverse" position. This potential for rollaway increases the risk for a crash and occupant or pedestrian injuries.
Remedy: General Motors will notify owners, and for vehicles that were built with the defective ignition cylinder and have not previously had the ignition cylinder replaced with the redesigned part, dealers will replace the ignition cylinder and cut and, if necessary, re-learn two ignition/door keys for each vehicle. For vehicles that were built with the redesigned ignition cylinder or had the ignition cylinder replaced with the redesigned part, dealers will cut and, if necessary, re-learn two ignition/door keys for each vehicle. The recall began on April 18, 2014. Chevrolet owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-222-1020, Pontiac owners at 1-800-762-2737, and Saturn owners at 1-800-553-6000. General Motors' number for this recall is 14113 for the ignition lock cylinder and key replacement, and 14133 for only key replacements. Note: Until a vehicle has been remedied, owners and operators are advised that when exiting, to be sure that the vehicle is in "Park," or in the case of a manual transmission, that the vehicle is in the "Reverse" position and the parking brake is engaged.
Feb 10, 2014
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on February 10, 2014 that they are recalling 619,122 model year 2005-2007 Chevrolet Cobalt, and 2007 Pontiac G5 vehicles. On February 25, 2014, GM increased the recall to include an additional 748,024 model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet HHR and Pontiac Solstice vehicles and 2003-2007 Saturn Ion vehicles and 2007 Saturn Sky vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine. On March 27, 2014, GM notified the agency that the defective ignition switches may have been used as service replacement parts on other vehicles, and as a result GM will be recalling certain model year 2008-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, Saturn Sky, and Pontiac G5 and Solstice, and 2008-2011 Chevrolet HHR vehicles. The part numbers for the service parts are 10392423 (a/k/a ACDelco D1461F), 10392737, 15857948, 15854953, 15896640, and 25846762. This expansion represents an additional 823,788 vehicles.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. An interim notification was issued to owners of 2007 and earlier models on March 10, 2014, informing them of the safety defect. Owners of 2008 and later vehicles will be mailed an interim letter on April 21, 2014. All affected owners will receive another letter once parts are available. The recall began on April 18, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, Pontiac at 1-800-762-2737 or Saturn at 1-800-553-6000. GM's number for the initial recall is 13454 and 14063 for the expansion. GMs recall number for the vehicles that may have received the replacement parts is 14092. Note: Until the recall repairs have been performed, it is very important that customers remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the vehicle key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. Always wear your seatbelt.
