| 2005 | STEERING | MY 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE POWER STEERING. IT WOULD GO IN AND OUT UNTIL IT FINALLY GOT TO HARD TO DRIVE. I TOOK INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE POWER STEERING UNIT HAD GONE BAD. I HAD IT REPAIRED TO THE TUNE OF $400. IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN I WENT ON LINE TO FIND OUT THAT THIS VERY PROBLEM IS BEING INVESTIGATED BY THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY AND SAFETY COMMISSION. I WAS REALLY UPSET WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND WITH CHEVROLET BECAUSE I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED THAT IT WAS A PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS INVESTIGATED FURTHER. I FEEL THAT THIS IS UNFAIR TO CONSUMERS FOR DEALERSHIPS TO CHARGE US FOR ISSUES THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR. IN ADDITION, THE GEAR SHIFT MECHANISM IS ALSO FAULTY. SOMETIMES IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THIS HAS OCCURRED BEFORE, RESULTING IN HAVING THE WHOLE MECHANISM REPLACE IN NOVEMBER 2008 AND NOW IT APPEARS THAT IT MAY HAVE TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. WHEN YOU PUT THE CAR IN PARK, IT DOES NOT GO ALL THE WAY INTO GEAR AND YOU HAVE TO KEEP PUTTING THE GEAR FROM NEUTRAL TO PARK UNTIL IT RELEASE THE IGNITION. *TR |
