| 2009 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | LETTER FROM SENATOR GRASSLEY ON BEHALF OF CONSTITUENT RE THE POTENTIAL EXPLOSIONS THROUGH FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE GM COBALT (ATTN: SHERRY KUNTZ) *SMD THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM, STATING HIS/HER VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO FUEL LEAKAGE, BUT SINCE THE CONSUMER DID NOT LIVE IN A HIGH TEMPERATURE AREA, HE/SHE SHOULD MONITOR IT FOR A FUEL SMELL. THE LETTER STATED IF THERE WAS A FUEL SMELL, TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THEY WOULD FIX IT FOR FREE. |
| 2006 | POWER TRAIN | STARTING IN OCTOBER 2007, I HAVE HAD ONGOING POWER STEERING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 CHEVY COBALT. WITHOUT WARNING, THE POWER STEERING WILL SUDDENLY QUIT WHILE THE TRANSMISSION WILL START JUMPING. THE CAR BECOMES UNABLE TO DRIVE. THIS WILL HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM WILL OCCUR AND THEN GO BACK TO NORMAL A SHORT TIME LATER. I HAVE BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES NOW CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS HAPPENS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE COBALT. THERE IS CURRENTLY AN ONLINE PETITION TO HAVE THE CHEVY COBALT RECALLED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!!! I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR |
