The fans belts need to be checked to verify that they are clean and tight. The fluild needs to be checked for level and sometimes changing th fluid to new fixes some problems. there's a pressure switch that makes the powersteering work less a tspeed and it's plug and the swich can fail.After that the rack and or pump in that order. I do the cheapest stuff first. Belt , level and change fluild before getrting tinto the part wher you can get over your head quick if your not a professional mmechinic. O r need to hire one.

SOURCE: 2005 equinox the intermittant power steering issue

The power steering is on this vehicle is electronically assisted. Meaning it does not have a power steering pump. The electric motor could be going out, pulling too much current at times, and tripping the breaker. The best thing to do is take it to the dealer, and have them inspect it.

Problem with power steering sometimes it works sometimes it don't

I had a similar problem with my 2005 Cobalt LT. Mine was as simple as checking the engine oil level. When the engine oil gets too low it will make the car do all kinds of weird stuff.

Power Stearing

The same thing happed to my 06 cobalt. The thing is that the DUMB A** at GM made the whole power steering electrical. Your going to have to change the the little computer that is located right under the steering wheel. if you go to the dealership they are going to RIP YOU OFF. What i did was i got the part at a GM junk yard, all it cost me was $200. your going to have to take the whole steering wheel of and change it. I hope i helped. GM needs to do a recall b4 someone God forbid, dies form this in an accident.
I still do like my cobalt thought lol
