Yep, you guessed it!
In the report it was explained that if your power steering goes, it could be difficult to drive your car, especially under 15 mph. I'm sure they explained more, but I still wasn't fully awake at that point.
Last week we got a letter in the mail about this recall. They explained what I already knew. There would also be bells and blinky stuff on the dash to let me, the driver, know the power steering was out. Turn the car off and it should be fine when you start it again - those were the directions. We would get another letter when the dealerships had the new motors so it could be replaced. It doesn't sound like a huge deal so I guess we can stick it out until the next letter comes.
You really thought I'd be that nonchalant about this whole thing?
Ya, right!
Ya, right!
Listen here, Chevy peeps! I drive
Now, chop, chop! Get those motors to the dealerships or else...
Ok, I really don't know what else because we only have one car. So while I'm trying to figure out some sort of back up plan and some nasty words in case something does happen, go over and visit Chief for
Until next time....

I have a cobalt as well and my power steering is starting to go out. I just got my letter last week and I'm going to be SO angry if they don't fix it soon.
LOL
However, the power steering going isn't really that huge of a deal (of course you'll want it fixed!). You WILL notice it, but it is driveable. An ex boyfriend of mine had a car without power steering. Aside from it being hard to turn when going really slow, I liked it becuase you could "feel the road" more. Plus, it worked my arm muscles, which was always good. ;-)
I agree with KMama, it's not a big deal until you are driving slow, then it takes a lot of strength to turn it.
With that said, you paid a lot of money for your car, and it's power steering, they need to fix it, sooner than later.
Hope your car behaves itself until the dealership gets the part.
OH I remember days before power steering, making sharp turns
SUCKED and yeah you get some awesome arm muscles. Hope they get your part in soon..
Recalls BITE! After spending all the money on a car...that you pay for for the entire good part of its life...This is ridiculous that they cant make it right to begin with.
kinda scary, all the recalls going on now days;(
It's really scary, seems like every day there's something else being recalled! I hope it continues to behave until the dealership can fix it.
Its not like a recall on the TV ITS YOUR CAR! that will kill you if it doesnt work right!
good Luck Evonne!
