Because the brakes aren't causing people to wreck or threatening anyones life.. just squeaking and fast wear on some.. Not a recall issue, just an annoyance.

 

whats going on with the cats? mine was stinking like rotten egg and sulfur when i was letting it warm up yesterday.

 

my power stearing went out a while ago. i had it replaced under warrenty no problems since. The only problems i had with the steering when it was out though was going around 90 degree turns that sucked...

 

try another gas station like Shell and see if it changes

 

I wonder if I'll get a letter tomorrow.

 

I think that's what was in it. I was putting sunoco in it when i noticed the smell

 

iv already had mine go out and replaced already. if the car is not stock would it still be applicable under the recall?

 

Received my letter about the cat yesterday... I've had my power steering go out 4 times on the freeway usually when going around curves. The DIC shows POWER STEERING, I just turn off the car then back on. It resets itself, although it pisses ya off when it does it in a roundabout.

 

Wow! My parents thought they heard something on the news about this, and well they were right. Damn! I hope I'm not affected...

 

i had that problem last year.

I got that today myself. Come to think of it, my steering does seem rough sometimes, but only when I'm sitting still and it rarely happens.

 

I received two letters yesterday......one for the 06 SS/SC and one for the 07 SS/SC. Both cats have already been replaced. The 06 actually shut down on the highway. Pulled the trouble code and sent it to the dealer. Stated everything was ok. Kept setting codes related to the cat so I just replaced it with Vibrant combo.

 

Let me just put it this way...

2WD Donuts in the sand + forgetting to disengage your front locker = crack down the middle of your power steering box and all of the fluid drains right outta the system.

Drove it 3 hours home and around town for 3 weeks without any power steering with 33x12.5 tires on 15x10 rims with 5.25" offset (they stick out further giving you less mechanical advantage while turning).

 

if i take my car to the dealer for this to be fixed im out of the 3 year 36k warranty i have 45k on the car. would this be covered under the 5 year 100k powertrain?

at least you got 100k on your powertrain. 05 and 06's got shafted with the 5/60k.

 

i called the dealer and they said it wouldn't be covered under the 5 year 100k so ill just wait to here if its a recall lol.

 

As long as the power steering motor is the same as the stock one I don't see why.

 

this happened to my ss last year on a drive up a mountain. that was the time of my life. but i have the five year extended warranty, so it was covered.

 

Well just be thankful that you don't own a Toyota!

 

Amen to that

 

Mines about to be recalled because GM put front wheel drive in mine

 

You can add 2010 to that list. I noticed mine pulling pretty hard one way or the other when i was going straight down a level street. it went away after a few seconds but very annoying regardless.

 

Awesome news... To bad I had to replace mine already... 2007 cobalt ss 2.4, i have a new cobalt now but at 36,500 right after warrenty my power steering went out.. They refused to cover under warrenty!
