Power steering intermittant

Hey, I am wondering if anyone has experianced intermittant loss of power steering will car is cold. for instance backing out of drivway not moving fast and steering is jerky. It does not do this when car is on road or warm. The Power Steering Assist Recall #10023 has beed done at dealer before I picked up car 3yrs ago. Any ideas?

When I first start my car, if I turn the wheel left to right I don't have power steering for a few seconds

Mine did the same thing for about 2 months before my alternator went out. It's not that your car is cold, it's that the system isn't fully working after sitting for awhile. The power steering seems to be one of the first things affected by the alternator not working at full power. It seems like more and more Cobalts are showing up with this happening as they get up in age.
