Consumer Description

IN THE FIRST INCIDENT, THE POWER STEERING ON MY 2005 COBALT SUDDENLY FAILED WHILE ACCELERATING UP TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE POWER STEERING FAILURE LASTED UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AFTER REACHING MY DESTINATION. THE NEXT DAY THE POWER STEERING FAILED SUDDENLY AGAIN TWICE AND THE FAILURE WOULD LAST UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF. IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM LISTED IN RECALL #10V073000, BUT ACCORDING TO CHEVY, MY VEHICLE ISN'T ONE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR
