| 2006 | STEERING | I HAVE 2006 CHEVY COBALT AND HAVE RECENTLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER STEERING. THE LIGHT TURNS ON BLINKS THEN COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF YOUR STEERING, BARELY ALLOWING SOMEONE TO TURN YOUR CAR TO SAFETY. IT WORKS AFTER A WHILE YET CONTINUES TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU DRIVE. I HEARD IT IS THE POWER STEERING MOTOR. GM REALLY NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PART IN THAT I HOPE THAT I, AS WELL AS OTHERS, DO NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR |
| 2010 | STEERING | DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED 15-20 MPH, WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL, SEEMS LIKE IT LOCKED UP. I COULD NOT PULL THE CAR AWAY FROM VEERING INTO A CONCRETE PLANTER USED TO KEEP THE TRAFFIC PATTERN IN THE PARKING LOT. VEHICLE SUSTAINED DAMAGE IN THE WHEEL, STEERING, RADIATOR AND BODY OF THE CAR. WHEN THE CAR WAS TOWED OVER TO THE DEALER WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY WERE CHECKING THE VIN FOR THE RECALL THAT WAS ISSUED FOR MANY OF THESE CARS. AFTER CHECKING WE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS MODEL UP TO MARCH OF 2010, OURS WE ARE TOLD WAS BUILT IN APRIL OF 2010. OBVIOUSLY, THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE 2010 COBALT SINCE THIS WAS THE LAST YEAR THEY HAD PRODUCTION ON THIS VEHICLE, WE WERE NOT AWARE THEY HAD STOPPED THE PRODUCTION OF THIS MODEL AT THE TIME WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. WE BELIEVE THERE WAS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE WHICH MAY HAVE LEAD TO THE STEERING ISSUES WE HAD ON JANUARY 13. 2011. UPDATED 8/22/12 *CN |
