| 2006 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT WOULD TAKE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS BEFORE SUCCESSFULLY STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EMITTING A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING FUEL. A NEW FUEL PUMP WAS INSTALLED TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 09V419000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000. |
| 2005 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION | TWO MONTHS AGO, WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK, I WASN'T ABLE TO GET MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I'M WORRIED THAT MY CAR IS GOING TO ROLL DOWN A HILL AND HIT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE. ALSO TWO DAYS AGO, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. THANKFULLY I WAS GOING STRAIGHT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. AS SOON AS I TURN OFF MY CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON, THE POWER STEERING IS FINE, BUT IF I GO A MILE OR TWO, ALL OF A SUDDEN IT GOES OUT. VERY VERY UNSAFE ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD WITH ME. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE FOR EVERYONE!!! BOTH ISSUES COULD RESOLVE IN A HUGE CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTHING HAS BEEN FIXED BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN READING ON RECALLS AND I HOPE I CAN GET THIS FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED! *TR |
