replace the power steering drive belt
indicates a hard belt that slips when wet
have the power steering pressures check by an accredited power steering specialist shop
possible short of the circuit,power steering needs compression from the engine,if the dials drop they indicate a failure or intermittent blockage,check earth connection on car to the body,make sure the right type of battery is fitted and and disconnect battery allow the car to cool down before replacing to see if a sender unit is failing every now and then
Check to see that no bolts or mounting brackets are loose causing the power steering pump to be out of alignment with the rest of the pulleys. When replacing the belt make sure it is seated correctly on the pulley because if it is one ridge off it will cause the belt to shred very quickly.
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.
im not too sure when the crossover is but the newer cobalts are equipped with electric power steering, and to me it sounds like a short between the powersteering circuit and the vehicle speed circuit.
I had the same problem with my 2006 malibu lt, took the car to the GM dealer had the column replaced and a new electric motor at a cost of $875.00.
No more problems, this is a common problem with this electric
steering system.
