I saw this on CamaroZ28, and did not see anything here when I searched, so figured this was important enough for a new post ! (funny because if this post Lookie )

Cobalt Steering Issue from CZ28


I have not had any problems so far other than an occasional lack of assist when started cold , but certainly something to keep an eye out for.

Permafried-

It has been all over for some time now; there's also videos on YouTube trying to get support for GM to take a serious look at this and recall it. This is worse than the stuck gas pedal Toyota has been dealing with. At least in that case you can slam it out of gear or hammer the brake and pray. No steering (usually it just cuts power steering and feels stiff), no control; that's some scary ****! Good to see someone's FINALLY looking into it.

My car has "morning sickness," but it's good other than that.

Lucky for me i havent had it yet, but a recall would definitely give me some piece of mind.

power steering is just an assisted steering device... not all cars used to have power/assisted steering. and its not hard to turn the steering wheel when your moving with lack of power steering. and its not like you lose control lol.

imagine how hard it it to take a curve on the3 highway at 70mph

oh and this is a repost. but good try lol

Im hoping the curve at 70 remark is sarcasm.

I really hope you are kidding. It is easy as hell to take a curve at 70mph. The faster you go the easier it is to maneuver with out power steering. Thats why its near impossible when you are at a stop.


Like mentioned earlier it is NOT a safety issue. Old cars dont have power steering.

Just buy a power steering motor from a dealer. Takes no more than 20 minutes to put in.

maybe its just me but i find it easier to change lanes at 45mph then some of the turns I-75makes thru Detroit. (and i have driven my car for a few days without power steering)

hell u guys have ss's. my body roll pullz me to the outside
