Looks like the same issue my wife’s car is facing. Thanks for your
diagnostic video and insight, Jeffery, you rock!
great video man, glad you were able to fix that yourself. I wouldn’t want
my mom,girlfriend or sisters to be driving a car and the steering wheel
locks up.
How much is that part and what exactly is it called so I could possibly
look it up? And I have a Chevy Cobalt LS 2006 with the same problem.
Steering wheel locking up is possubly due to the eletronic power steering
they recalled certain models. Had two columns put in my 2006 cobalt.
Thank you! I brought my 2006 Cobalt (the only model without a recall for
this problem) with a printout of the official Chev TSB for this specific
issue to my Chev dealer and they charged me $170 in labour to NOT fix this
problem. Instead they coded me a new key and said the problem was the key
was worn. I didn’t have the problem for two months so I figure they were
right, but now it’s back and “permanent” (the solenoid would eventually
release on it’s own before) so I’ll fix it myself this time.
Thanks alot man! My older sister has the same problem in her 2008 chevy
cobalt LT with 54k miles on it.
Nice job, saved me a BUNCH of time!! Thanks
This was great. Have you any plans to do one about the locking and
unlocking problem in detail? I have had both problems that you mentioned in
this video. Thanks
And thanks 4 the video btw. I had heard it was a pin or something but it’s
nice to see in detail what it is. =)
my 05 coupe started that @ 36k…if you wait a few you can get the key out
lol.. HHR and the G5 have the same issue..still no fix from GM and THEY ARE
AWARE of this. my dealer wont touch it for free of course
In most cases the shaft falls out and has to put back in. It is located
around the gear shift. Thank you for watching the video.
Great video Jeffery, Thanks a lot.
Good video. Excellent deduction and troubleshooting
OMG!!! Thank you SO MUCH!!!
Thanks to you i was able to get some sleep!
Where did u get the shaft?
Thanks man! Fixed my 2007 G5 following your video exactly the same problem
with the shaft falling out…. saved me a bundle !
Hey Where can I Get it?
U rock
thanks
thank you! for making this video!
I have a 2006 Chevy hhr and I’ve got the same issue it’s internal
components are identical this video should help me fix it
hey man thats awesome, Im having the same problem with my 2009 Chevy
malibu..will try this and repsot my results
So was that pin that you needed- was it still in there and had just fallen
out or did you have to buy a new one? I need to pull mine apart and try and
fix it… I’ve also gotta mess with the engine light. Its throwing a code
saying the fuel system is running lean and it could be the mass airflow or
something else. replaced that and cleared it and its came right back on..
Dunno what on earth to do next for that. Lol.
Thanks for the help!! Having the same problem with my daughter’s 2006!
Great fix thxs for making this video !
Thanks alot, you saved me a trip to the dealer.
That’s a cobat…..
Thanks man!
Thank you.. This video was very helpful its 10pm at night and didnt know
how I was going to get my key out the ignition… After watching this I
went down and it came right out after hitting the switch in shifter
