MY HUSBAND VEERED OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE IT WAS HARD TO STEER, WE THEN TURNED THE CAR OFF HOPING IT WOULD CLEAR THE ERROR. WE STARTED THE CAR AND IT THEN DROVE FINE. WHEN WE GOT TO WHERE WE WERE GOING WE DECIDED TO CHECK THE POWER STEERING FLUID BUT COULDN'T FIND WHERE IT WAS. WE LOOKED IN OUR OWNER'S MANUAL AND IT STATED THAT IT WAS ELECTRICAL AND THERE WAS NO FLUID. THE NEXT DAY ON THE INTERSTATE AT 60 MPH DRIVING TO WORK THE WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF AND IT READ, \"POWER STEERING\", MY HUSBAND MAINTAINED CONTROL AND IT NEVER REGAINED POWER STEERING. FROM THAT INCIDENT ON EVERY TIME WE DROVE IT KEPT HAPPENING AND WE WOULD NEVER REGAIN POWER STEERING UNTIL WE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT. FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING 9/8/08 WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD US THERE WAS AN INTERNAL FAULT IN THE STEERING COLUMN MOTOR AND THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC COLUMN. I ASKED IF THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL BECAUSE I FOUND HUNDREDS OF INCIDENTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH OUR SAME VEHICLE, MAKE AND YEAR ON THE INTERNET. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THIS IS THE FIRST THEY HAD HEARD OF. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THAT WHEN THEY REPLACED MY MOTOR I WANTED THE FAULTY ONE BACK. THEY GOT AN ATTITUDE QUICKLY AND TOLD ME THAT I COULDN'T HAVE THE OLD PART BECAUSE IT WAS UNDER GM WARRANTY. I THEN ASKED IF THAT'S THE CASE THEN WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS NEW PART BECAUSE MY OLD ONE IS OBVIOUSLY FAULTY. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS PART OF GM POLICY AND I COULD NOT HAVE THE OLD PART. AFTER THAT IT MADE US VERY SUSPICIOUS AS TO WHY THEY WOULDN'T LET US TAKE THE OLD PART. I TOLD THEM THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE ENDANGERING PEOPLE'S LIVES THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED. I CONTACTED THE GM CORPORATE OFFICE AND THEY GAVE ME THE SAME SPILL THAT THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF THIS ISSUE. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2005","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"COBALT","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]}]}
