| 2006 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | MY CAR STARTED SMELLING LIKE GASOLINE, AND I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY. THE SMELL WAS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. THIS DIDN'T START TILL THE TEMPERATURE HERE IN VA WAS OVER 100 DEGREES. I WAS TOLD COULD OF BEEN THAT MY GAS CAP WAS NOT VENTING PROPERLY. THE GAS SMELL BECAME SO INTENSE OUTSIDE AND INSIDE THE CAR EVEN AFTER I REPLACED THE GAS CAP. I HAVE RECEIVED PRICES OF 650.00 TO OVER 1000.00 TO HAVE THE DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP REPLACED (ALL ONE UNIT) ACCORDING TO THE REPAIR SHOPS. I THINK THAT WE ELECT OFFICIALS TO OFFICE AND THEY SHOULD MAKE GM FIX THE DEFECTIVE ITEMS (ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL) IN ALL STATES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED...OH YEA THAT'S RIGHT THEY GOT A BAIL OUT---WE ARE JUST YOUR AVERAGE JOES BUYING VEHICLES FROM THEM PUTTING MONIES IN THEIR POCKETS AND THEY WONT FIX WHAT IS A DEFECTIVE PART THAT CAN AND WILL EVENTUALLY KILL SOMEONE WHEN THEIR CAR CATCHES ON FIRE. *TR |
| 2007 | STEERING | MY 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT HAS STEERING WHEEL PROBLEMS. EVERYTIME I TURN ON MY CAR POWER STEERING FLASHES ABOUT A MINUTE OR SO AFTER AND IMMEDIATELY THE WHEEL IS VERY HARD TO TURN. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO TURN IN ANY DIRECTION AND EVEN TO CHANGE LANES. IT IS SO HARD THAT I CANNOT PARK CORRECTLY AND I AM SCARED TO EVEN TRY TO PARALLEL PARK BECAUSE THE LAST TIME I TRIED I HIT ANOTHER CAR. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISSUE IS NOT BEING DEALT WITH IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE IT IS PUTTING PEOPLE IN UNBEARABLE SITUATIONS. I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD ONLY GET IT FIXED AT THE CAR DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM BUT WHAT THEY WOULD CHARGE IS BEYOND WHAT I CAN PAY. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE NOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT CAN ONLY LEAD TO MORE DISASTROUS EVENTS. I VOTE FOR A RECALL IMMEDIATELY!!! *TR |
