| 2006 | STEERING | TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING HE EXPERIENCES A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THE INABILITY TO STEER WHILE DRIVING INCREASES THE RISK FOR VEHICLE CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND A TECHNICIAN CONCLUDED THAT THE POWER STEERING MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT AN EXPENSE OF $356.00. HE IS IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 50,000. |
| 2007 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT ONLY IN CERTAIN STATES, DELAWARE IS NOT ONE OF THEM. (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER:09V419000) I HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED BECAUSE IT LEAKED FUEL WHICH IS THE SAME ISSUE UNDER THE RECALL. IF THE PROBLEM IS THE FUEL PUMP WHY WOULD IT MATTER WHAT STATE YOUR VEHICLE IS REGISTERED IN? I'M SURE THERE ARE MANY MORE COMPLAINTS ON THIS AND I HOPE THAT YOU WILL LOOK INTO IT FURTHER. I SPOKE WITH GM AND THEY WILL NOT COVER MY EXPENSES. *TR |
