| 2005 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL | I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40MPH WITH MY TWO KIDS IN THE CAR AND THEN THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND WOULDN'T ACELARATE I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN THE CAR JUST STALLED. I THEN PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. I THEN TRIED STARTING THE CAR AGAIN AND IT DID START. MY VEHICLE HAS 600 MILES.TODAY I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM CHEVROLET MOTOR DIVISION CENTRAL OFFICE STATING THAT THEY ARE CONDUCTING A VOLUNTARY CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM THAT AFFECTS CERTAIN 2005 MODEL YEAR CHEVROLET COBALT VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A 2.2L ENGINE AND AIR CONDITIONING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND ALSO THE 800 NUMBER ON MY LETTER AND TOLD THEM ABOUT MY VEHICLE STALLING AND TO LET THEM NOW I RECEIVED THE LETTER. I'M SCHEDULED FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND TO LOOK INTO WHY MY VEHICLE STALLED. ALTHOUGH THEY STATE THIS IS "VOLUNTARY CUSTOMER STATISFACTION PROGRAM" I THINK THEY SHOULD JUST CALL IT A RECALL AND HAVE ALL CUSTOMERS WHO PURCHASED THIS MODEL BRING THEIR VEHICLE IN NOW RATHER THAN WHEN THEY EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM. |
