| 2005 | STEERING | FOR THE 3RD TIME MY 19 YR OLD DAUGHTER'S 2005 CHEVY COBALT'S POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THIS TIME SHE WAS ON A BUSY TAMPA HIGHWAY. I SEE THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS. I CAN HAVE IT REPLACED FOR 1,500 BUT THAT NEW PART WILL WEAR OUT AS WELL. WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE HURT OR WORSE? I SEE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ON THIS! *TR |
| 2006 | STEERING | PURCHASED 2006 CHEVY COBALT LT IN JANUARY ON THE 13 OF THE MONTH LATER THE STEER COLUMN START LOCKING UP. CONTACT A GENERAL MOTORS AND CHEVORLET SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THERE AS A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING IT HAPPEN EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE UNDER 15-20 MILES A HOUR IT GOES TO MANUAL DRIVING VERY HARD TO TURNTHE STEERING WHEEL AS LONG AS YOUR DRIVING 30-40 MILES IT HAS POWER STEERING, I WAS TOLD THAT CHEVORLET HAS NOT FOUND A WAY TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AND IT WAS GOING TO A BE RECALLED. I WAS ALSO TOLD IF I BROUGHT IT IN BEFORE THE RECALL I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT AND SIGN A FORM THAT SAID THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT BE HELD LIABLE AFTER IT WAS FIXED. IT HAS BEEN THREE MONTH SINCE I SPOKE TO GM AND THE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THE RECALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS I HAVE A INFANT AND WIFE THAT SOME TIME RIDES IN MY CARD AND IF I HAVE TO TURN QUICKLY I MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO. ALSO IF SOMEONE OR A CAR TURN IN FRONT OF ME I MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO TURN THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE POWER STEERING BEING OUT IN THIS VEHICLE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE BY THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AS OF TODAY. *TR |
