| 2005 | STEERING | ON TUESDAY DECEMBER 1ST 2009 I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY POWER STEERING JUST STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL AND GET OFF THE INTERSTATE SAFELY. I WAS TERRIFIED. THE NEXT TIME I STARTED MY CAR THE STEERING SEEMED TO BE FINE, HOWEVER LATER THAT AFTERNOON THE SAME THING HAPPENED. ONCE AGAIN, MY STEERING WHEEL WAS PRACTICALLY USELESS. I IMMEDIATELY GOT MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND FOUND OUT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH CHEVY COBALTS. I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE MOTOR COSTING $900. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN THIS MATTER AND WILL BE REPORTING IT TO GM AS WELL. *TR |
