I OWN A 2007 CHEVY COBALT. JANUARY 1, 2009 IN THE FIRST TIME I LOST POWER STEERING. AT FIRST IT WAS INTERMITTENT BUT KNOW IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME, ANYWHERE FROM 2 SECONDS TO 2 MINUTES AFTER STARTING TO DRIVE. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IN AUGUST OF 2007, I PURCHASED A $3600 EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT SAID IT WOULD COVER POWER STEERING ISSUES BUT WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP, THEY TOLD ME MY WARRANT WOULDN'T COVER THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT WOULD COST OVER $1000 TO THE POWER STEERING MODEL REPLACED. SINCE THEN I'VE JUST LEARNED HOW TO DRIVE MY CAR SAFELY. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED ON MY OWN AND NEED HELP! *TR
