On Tuesday, March 2, 2010, General Motors announced a recall of 1.3 million vehicles for power steering related problems. The models affected by the recall are the 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, the 2007-2010 Pontiac G5, the 2005-2006 Pontiac Pursuit (sold in Canada) and the 2005-2006 Pontiac G4 (sold in Mexico). Owners of the vehicles have reported that the power steering would go out occasionally and then sometimes become more frequent. Jamie Hresko, General Motors Vice President of Quality, said in a statement that "it tends to occur in older models out of warranty."
If the power steering goes out, a chime should sound and a warning light or message should be displayed. The vehicle can still be steered, but it will require more effort at speeds under 15 mph.
The loss of power steering could be a very serious concern and possibly hazardous for senior citizens or those with physical limitations or disabilities.
