Driving and power steering randomly quits working been happening for 5 days.
Power steering motor fails during normal driving within 100 yards making it very difficult to steer vehicle especially at slow speeds. vehicle has not been involved in a accident yet due to this problem.
While driving on a 2-lane highway the power steering assist quit working and the message "power steering" appeared in the driver information center screen. later i discovered that shutting the car off and restarting it restored the power assist.
Intermittent loss of power steering. the last two days while driving home the power assist went out on the freeway driving home. standard freeway speed. hot day 95 to 100 degrees. the first day i replaced the fuse steering worked. today it went out at the exact place roughly 20 minutes driving. very frightening although i was on a straight stretch of the road. today. the car sat for 30 minutes and to my surprise it started with up with power steering. i dont understand why my year was part of the recall in canada but not the us. peoples life are at stake and the burden of this repair ir replacement should fall to the manufacture incident dates thus far 6/10/19 and 6/11/19
I have a 2007 chevy hhr lt sedan. the car has been driving fine up until about a month ago, maybe a bit longer. while driving at approx. 15 mph, the power steering light came on and it took everything i had to turn the wheel. i shut the car off, restarted it and it drove fine for a day or so. now, it is becoming worse! i ran a short errand yesterday and i had to pull over and restart the car no less than 8 times. i called the local chevy dealership here and was told it wasn't on the recall list. i was told they would charge me $130 and hour just for diagnostic work. i came very close to having an accident one evening when the power steering went out and i had no place to pull over and had to turn into the oncoming lane of traffic. this isn't just a cosmetic or trivial problem! someone could get killed or badly injured. chevy/gmc needs to own up to this problem and fix it before something bad happens.
Power steering goes out. warning light indicates power steering. occurs while freeway or city driving and while stopped at a traffic light or stop sign. occurs from 0 to 65 mph. to resolve issue you must turn off the engine wait a few seconds then turn it back on. issue has been occurring for the last 3 to four months.
Electric steering keeps going out . works 5 mins then turn the car off try again world 5 mins and goes out again. snatched us off the road into a ditch. can't turn steering wheel
Power steering on my vehicle will stop working after 10 second of my moving my vehicle
Power steering goes out seconds after the wheels start rolling. it is extremely hard to maneuver after that. turns r close to impossible unless you are going a decent speed. putting the car in park or neutral and shutting it off then back on again will reset the steering and it buys you a few second of easy turning before u hear a click nose under the dash and assistance is gone. this is a hazard to the person driving and any vehicle or persons around while turning.
The hhr is in motion at random speeds, temperature, location, etc. and the dic light for "power steering" comes on. we have changed the appropriate fuses (under the hood and passenger side center panel) and still have same result-no power steering. we have checked the plugs/connectors on the steering column have been checked for any loose connections or broken connectors. this is a very dangerous situation when driving down the road, but especially when going into a curve and it shuts off. we checked the wires under the hood as well. while we have power steering, the steering wheel is very touchy and hard to drive in a safe manner. now, our left turn signal will sometimes stay on after the turn is complete and won't click off. we love our car but this is getting to be very dangerous as we use it to as a family car with kids.
The power steering went out making it unable to control the vehicle my 18 year old son was driving and could not steer or control the vehicle causing him to wreck and dented the car up and busted the oil pan locking the motor up just by luck he was not injured we had to have it towed home and it has sat here cause i can't afford a new motor i am very upset with this whole ordeal i've been out a lot of money and have no vehicle now plus my son was very traumatized over the whole matter i truly loved this car now it's just wasting away and i'm out a lot of moneynot to mention had problems with the windows rolling up and down and the stereo just quit working and the batteries i put in it kept going dead i'm truly upset over this
Power steering fails randomly while driving, steering becomes very difficult and could be very dangerous.. pulling over and turning the car off restarts the steering, but it fails again randomly very very dangerous. why no recall?
