| 2010 | STEERING | WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT A RELATIVELY SLOW SPEED THE CAR LOST STEERING POWER. WE COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT, HAD TO CONTINUE DRIVING STRAIGHT. IT IS A MAJOR CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE OFTEN TIMES DRIVE VERY WINDY ROADS THAT OVERLOOK THE OCEAN. JUST LAST WEEKEND WE WERE HEADED TO STINSON BEACH WITH A 10 - WEEK - OLD IN THE CAR. THE ROAD LEADING TO STINSON BEACH IS VERY CURVY WITH SHARP TURNS AND STEEP DROPS. ACCORDING TO CHEVY THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL FOR POWER STEERING ON 2010 CHEVY COBALTS, BUT APPARENTLY OUR MODEL IS AN EXCEPTION TO THE RECALL. VERY FRUSTRATED, CONCERNED CUSTOMER. *TR |
| 2007 | STEERING | ON MARCH 4, 2011 I HAD MY 2007 COBALT'S ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING FIXED DUE TO THE RECALL I RECEIVED IN THE MAIL. THIS WAS AS EMICH CHEVORLET IN COLORADO. RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES MAKING TURNS AT SLOWER SPEEDS AND SOMETIME UNABLE TO TURN AT ALL. I CONTACTED MY PERSONAL SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE DEALER NEEDED TO DO THE WORK AND THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE FIXED THIS DEFUNCT PART. I CONTACTED THE DEALER TODAY WHO STRAIGHT AWAY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. IF YOU SCOUR THE INTERNET NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE STILL POSTING THAT EVEN AFTER THE RECALL THESE PARTS (STEERING) ARE STILL FAILING AND CAUSING ACCIDENTS. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TOP PAY FOR A PART THAT CANNOT LAST A YEAR AND 3 DAYS. *TR |
