| 2008 | STEERING | I WAS DRIVING MY 2008 CHEVROLET COBALT WITH 14,000 MILES ON IT AND MY POWER STEERING SYSTEM FAILED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF AND ONCE I RE-STARTED THE CAR I HAD POWER STEERING BACK ONLY FOR A FEW BLOCKS BEFORE IT FAILED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES ON THE SAME EVENING. I DROPPED THE CAR OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 2/2/10 AND AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM. *TR |
