Well the first time i take my 07 ss/sc out for more then 200 miles and i get a alert tone and no power steering. Im taking it to the dealer to diagnos it tomorrow but wondering if anyone else had this happen. It went out, then i pulled over to check fuses and if anything major happened. Nothing. Start the car again and its working again. After about 10 minutes of driving ot goes out again. And thats what it does now, goes out, then turn car off and start again its back on for a short time. I wasnt out auto crossing or anything, just highway driving. Any ideas

 

A search would help ya here. I remember hearing about this before but I can't remember what it was.

 

how was the driving without power steering??? i was debating taking mine out, prolly wont tho.

 

DOnt its worse then my 64 impala, there is no assist and its sucks to feel all the movement with no motor assist. Its even crappy on the freeway

 

the reason i was debating is because i drove my friends 92 vw gli and my friends 84 vw rabbit, neither of which had power steering (the gli mighta had a tiny tiny bit of power steering but not much) and i loved the way it felt over the balt. u cood feel everything and felt like u were in control

 

thing is a car that doesnt come with power steering has a rack with a steering ratio designed for manual steering. power assist allows much quicker steering ratios without making parking lots a bitch.

 

You sir are correct.

 

ya the turning ratio is crap without the electronic control.

 

cobalt dont have conventional power sterring,its electric and its totally different and yes I ve heard weird stories about the reliability of this system

 

my steering is already making a humming sounds when i turn at low speeds, did you happen to hear anything like that or have any signs of steering noise at all before it went out?

 

mine went out had my steering rack replaced already, it sux without it. busting U turns sux ass.
