| 2006 | STEERING | I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY COBALT. A FEW MONTHS AFTER MY 3 YEAR WARRANTY EXPIRED, I NOTICED THAT SOMETHING WITHIN THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WOULD START TO SHAKE AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. I TOOK MY CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE & WAS TOLD MY POWER STEERING MOTOR CASE WAS CRACKED. I CALLED GM TO FIND OUT IF COVERED BY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY & WAS TOLD NO. I ASKED THE REP IF THERE HAD BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT CHEVY COBALT POWER STEERING, AT FIRST SHE SAID NO, THEN SHE SAID NONE THAT SHE WAS AWARE OF. THE MECHANIC AT THE GARAGE TOLD ME THE PART ALONE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM WOULD BE OVER $800. HE THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY A WARRANTY AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. SINCE THE MECHANIC SAID THE PRICE OF THE PART SHOULD GO DOWN WITH TIME, I CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY SHAKY COBALT HOPING THE POWER STEERING WILL NOT GO OUT ON ME. *TR |
