I'm just going in for mine the next time it's in..

No. They used conventional power steering. Obviously something was wrong with it.

Not every car that has a power steering issue is related to this recall. Seriously...

I didn't figure it was related, but I figured I'd ask..

I also notice that alot of G6's have a weird steering issue where it turns like **** one way, but turns super fast the other..

Took mine in today and service writer said it would have to go on diagnostics... I thought a recall was just that , a recall to replace the parts...

Don't feel like reading the rest of the thread. I got the first letter and just today the powerstearing f'ed up. Do I have to wait for the second letter or can I just got to the dealer mine is a 06 so if they are doing it by year from what i can see i should have received mine already. Its just gonna be a pain in the ass considering I live in the city.
Now i also have to get my sychros checked out too cause first and reverse have popped out on me today pretty gay.

whats this i hear about a power steering pump problem??? i have an 08 cobalt and aint had no problem with it yet.

SSchargedSS

there is no power steering pump. lol

richsoucie

no love for the ion on this recall you think there would be considering they are the same car

08SSTCRD

It must use a different power steering motor. Crawl under your dash and check it out if you are curious, it may not even be a Denso.

richsoucie

pretty sure its the same one because a bunch of people on redline forums are having the same problem also if you google saturn ion steering it comes up with a bunch of consumer complaints about the power steering

I'm wondering this about the supposed second letter as well. I've not had any messages on the DIC telling me about a power steering problem but yesterday when I parked the car I left it on and turned the wheel and it was making a rubbing sound--louder than the "normal" rubbing sound. I need to take my Cobalt in for an oil change and maintenance soon and would like to get everything done in one trip as I drive 50 miles each way to the dealer.

The execs at GM probably think that because they killed Saturn there is no point.

I spoke to one of my GM customers about this today. They are a Pontiac dealer. According to them GM has not shipped any replacement parts for the recall. That's why a second letter hasn't been sent yet.

I'm still looking for my first letters. Both of my Cobalts are in the pointbreaks. I even called GM to make sure my info was updated.

outtamymind

thats funny cuz all the techs at the dealership i worked at are replacing the motors with the updated ones as per the recall (this is what they tell me anyways)

Mine went out and they dont have a replacement for me yet

i guess going up to the dealer and asking about it woouldnt hurt. i also i have to get my doors looked at, they are having difficulty closing and opening... i was trapped in my car the other day for like ten mins!

Minituckin

just seeing if anyone has any updates about this... my luck would be mine would go out while i was pulling in the dealership and take out a whole row of new cars haha

I never received letters for either of my Cobalts even though both of them fall into the vin point breaks. My dealership looked out for me and both of my Cobalts now have this fixed. Go to your dealer and have them check your vin.

Minituckin

Called today and had them run the vin. They said my new part would be in in about 10 days

08slatecobalt

I got one letter, but haven't gotten the second yet.

And on another note...I like how they say 1.3 million to be recalled, yet if you go into the thread about the last Cobalt produced they say between 05-10 only 1.1 million were produced lol

Minituckin

that's the other 200,000 they threw away from machine **** ups and such haha

My power steering motor went out monday I was driving and all of a sudden no power steering the dash lit up said check engine check power steering check airbag I have 10k miles on my 09. The dealership replaced it in a few hrs but it took 2 days to get the parts motor and relays. I only had no power steering for about 30 seconds or so no big deal. I never got my second letter but I would say my car qualified!

BlackWidowSS07

Thanks for the heads up, Im overseas and wouldnt have ever known about it
