2007 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

WHILE DRIVING, SUDDENLY THE POWER STEERING STOPS WORKING, A MESSAGE "POWER STEERING" APPEARS AND IT'S MAKING HARD TO DRIVE. THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES IT WORK AGAIN IS STOPPING THE CAR AND STARTING THE ENGINE AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED TWICE THREE DAYS AGO AND NOW ITS DOING IT UP TO SIX TIMES PER DAY. *TR

WHEN YOUR DRIVING THE VEHICLES POWER STEERING GOES DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

POWER STEERING LIGHT POPS ON AND POWER STEERING GOES OUT. CAR IS UNDER THREE YEARS OLD. THIS IS A KNOWN VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. HAPPENS OVER AND OVER, ONCE YOU TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT WILL WORK AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT OCCURRENCE WHICH COULD BE TWO MINUTES LATER OR FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THIS SO NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT THE QUOTE TO GET IT REPAIRED WAS AROUND $2000. THESE SHOULD BE RECALLED!!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR , THE DASH WILL DING THREE TIMES, FLASH "POWER STEERING" AND THEN THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK UP. I WILL HAVE TO PULL OVER, TURN THE ENGINE OFF, AND RESTART THE CAR. UPON RESTARTING THE CAR, IT WILL WORK FINE. THIS WILL HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW. IT IS A HASSLE WHILE DRIVING, I'VE HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TO TURN MY CAR OFF AT TIMES WHEN THERE ISN'T A SHOULDER TO PULL OFF ON. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS A LOT WITH 2006-2007 MODEL COBALTS, COST UPWARD T $1000-$2000 TO FIX AND OBVIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. *TR

2007 CHEVROLET COBALT WITH POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAILURE. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 67,000 MILES AND HAD NOT HAD ANY ISSUES WITH IT UNTIL THIS RANDOMLY HAPPENED ON THE STREET. A "POWER STEERING" MESSAGE CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD OF THE CAR AND SEEMINGLY THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP. THIS WAS WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD NEPHEW IN THE CAR. I AM GLAD I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. AFTER THAT OCCURRENCE IT HAS CONTINUALLY HAPPENED OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS USED. IT IS RANDOM AND THERE IS NO PATTERN TO WHAT SETS IT OFF. THE POWER STEERING FAILS AND IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THAT WAY. I CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO PAY THE $2000 THEY WANT TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE, SO THIS IS STILL OCCURRING. I AM TRYING TO FIND ANOTHER WAY TO GET THIS FIXED BUT THIS NEEDS ACTION AGAINST AS THERE ARE COUNTLESS OTHERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS AS WELL. *TR

POWER STEERING ON MY 2007 CHEVY COBALT FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE. *TR

WE HAVE A 2007 CHEVY COBALT IN WHICH WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. REALLY SCARY AND DANGEROUS. SINCE GM HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS FAILURE SINCE 2005 AND NOBODY HAS DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT IS EVEN SCARIER. IF YOU TURN CAR OFF AND BACK ON POWER STEERING WILL WORK AGAIN ONLY FOR PERIOD OF TIME THEN SHUT OFF AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON-LINE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

POWER STEERING SUDDENLY WENT OUT, NEARLY CAUSING A COLLISION. POWER STEERING CAME BACK AFTER ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN BACK ON. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY COBALT SS. IT HAS 51,000 MILES AND THE POWER STEERING JUST WENT OUT SUDDENLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT I WAS BARELY ABLE TO TURN INTO A GAS STATION. I AM NOT VERY STRONG, THANKFULLY MY BROTHER WAS WITH ME. I WAS 50 MILES FROM MY HOME AND WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STEER HOME. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I GOT HOME AND RESEARCHED TO SEE HOW TO FIX THIS, AND I NOTICED SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD POSTED COMPLAINTS ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT WEBSITES STATING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH ON A WINDY AND DANGEROUS MOUNTAIN ROAD, LOST THE POWER STEERING AND ALMOST WENT OVER THE EDGE OF THE MOUNTAIN. TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON AND POWER STEERING SEEMED TO WORK OK, BUT KEEPS GOING OUT. VERY DANGEROUS AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND TRYING TO GET INTO THE DEALER ASAP. *TR
