2006 Chevy Cobalt. My power steering goes out.

It sounds like the power steering motor is overheating pre maturely. Changing the motor should take care of the problem. What really happens is the motor reports to the power steering module that it is over heating and the module is shutting power to the motor down, the motor is actually no overheating.

Power steering goes out

YOU HAVE AN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM. YOUR POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE IS THE MOST LIKELY CAUSE. SCAN THE SYSTEM FOR CODES AND GO FROM THERE.

Car shakes.

If the vehicle is FWD then you may have a CV outter joint going out and/or possibly a wheel bearing failure. I would have this checked out by a professional shop AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. It also could be causing the power steering alert to come on because it is detecting the vibration in the wheel arm for the steering. Good Luck, RAC
