| 2005 | STEERING | POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHER COBALT OWNERS. I HAVEN'T REPLACED IT YET. AFTER READING OTHER FORUMS THE CAR IS DOOMED TO DO IT AGAIN. I HAVE HAD THE STANDARDS FACTORY CD PLAYER REPLACED 4 TIMES. FIRST AT 12K MILES, FINALLY LAST TIME AT 60K. THE KEY BECOMES LOCKED IN THE IGNITION DAILY. I HAVE TO REACH A FINGER IN THE WHOLE UNDERNEATH THE STEERING COLUMN TO HIT THE KEY RELEASE BUTTON. JUST A POORLY MADE CAR AND EVERYTHING GOES OUT RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY. *TR |
