My check gauge light came on along with the battery light. The car slowed down and the steering wheel was hard to turn when I tried to get out of traffic's way. I had trouble starting the car up again. Any suggestions what check gauge means? Thank you in advance, I really appreciate it!!
SOURCE: steering is stiff
the problem could be contamination in ps fluid.i would flush the system and replace fluid first .if that does not solve the pronlem you most likely need power steering pump. the steerjng box is very unlikely.

check the wire and connection at the ignition switch
SOURCE: Steering wheel hard to turn when sitting still
it could be the steering gear on the column, the filter in the pump may also need to be cleaned.
SOURCE: My 2006 Malibu steering wheel is going bad.
The power steering is electric on that car. It has a electric motor on the column, and a control module. There are several causes that could be the problem. You need to have it scanned to get a better idea of what to do. If you can give me the codes you get then I will be glad to advise you on what's best. Good Luck
SOURCE: hold light blinking, check engine light on, engine slows down
check tps sensor (throttle position sensor in backside of the throttle cable) and map sensor (manifold absolute pressure on front little 1 inch sensor with vacuum line) make sure there plugged in. the ecm (engine control module driver side inner fender) and tcm (transmission control module under dash) both need the data to know when to upshift and increase fuel/air. Otherwise the computer runs default values and guesses off of other sensors giving poor performance. also disconnect battery for 15 min. usually resets aveo service lights if you dont have a scanner.
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
Without Air Bag
See Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8
Disconnect the battery ground cable before removing the steering wheel. When installing a steering wheel, always make sure that the turn signal lever is in the neutral position.
