electric power steering failure at 560 miles!!
Of course I will check the basics of the wires and associated fuses first; however, a trip to the dealer may be necessary. I stopped to get gas and when I restarted the car, the steering felt totally unassisted and then the error message of "service power steering". I pressed the ONStar button and they had no info other than to be careful and they saw the same error message on their diagnostics. Darn it :mad0259:

Sucks much!! I'm starting to get paranoid about having a steering problem on my car eventually. Hopefully they will zero in on the issue as your not the first to post about having problems with the electric steering. I would expect a TSB about the steering in these cars to show up soon
|
Rumor was that that was the qc hold up initially.

Man i could only hope something like this wouldn't happen taking an off ramp at a quick pase or something. Could be very dangerous... What about at a roadcourse???
|
This is the 2nd car on here with the same problem

I got the same message on my Cobalt SS. Took it to the dealer and they found that a mouse had chewed through the wires. Not covered by warranty. Now I have moth balls under all my cars in the garage.

Ok...I removed the underbelly pan (16 bolts and 2 plastic buttons!) and checked the connections to the power steering going to the rack and tapped on the rack with a plastic hammer. Now, it works but I have no idea if this problem will recur. Nothing seemed loose and no weatherpack connectors appeared to have issues. I will have the dealer check it if I loose power steering again.

disconnect power to the power steering and try it...anything under 10mph was almost impossible to turn. At 70ish mph, it wasn't horrible but still quite an effort. My previous car with power steering failure was much easier to turn (1968 Chevelle).
