The gauges on the dash go haywire. a subtle 'ding ding' sound is made. the engine has difficulty accelerating and will only do so in spurts. a power steering warning is displayed on the dash and the steering wheel becomes very tight and impossible to turn. car will give you about a minute, tops, to do something before shutting down completely. issue happens randomly but seems to be triggered by the car decelerating into first gear, at a stoplight for example. however, this past incident happened while on the interstate and nearly caused a collision with a semi. my particular vin is not included in the loss of power steering recall involving chevrolet cobalts, general motors recall number:10023 and nhtsa recall number: 10v073000. however, based on performance the past 6 months, i sincerely believe it should be. *tr
