| 2006 | STEERING | I WAS LEAVING MY APARTMENT COMPLEX AND WAS IN THE PROCESS ON TURNING RIGHT ONTO THE MAIN STREET WHEN MY CAR WOULDN'T ALLOW ME TO CONTINUE TO TURN RIGHT SO I FORCED IT UNTIL I WAS STRAIGHT AGAIN AND THEN I HAD TO STOP(IN THE STREET) TO SEE WHY I COULDN'T TURN AND MY MESSAGE BOARD WAS FLASHING POWER STEERING. I THEN TRIED TO TURN INTO A BUSINESS TO GET OFF THE MAIN ROAD BUT COULDN'T TURN IN SO I TURNED OFF MY CAR AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND THE POWER STEERING RETURNED BUT ONLY FOR A FEW SECONDS. I HAD TO CONTINUE TO STOP AND TURN MY CAR OFF AND TURN IT ON AGAIN JUST TO RETURN TO MY RESIDENCE. THE POWER STEERING IS COMPLETELY GONE AND I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE MY CAR. I CALLED GM AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN BUT I INFORMED THEM THAT I LIVED THREE HOURS AWAY AND DIDN'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THEY SAID ALL THEY COULD DO WAS HAVE ME BRING IT IN AND CAN CUT ME A DEAL ON THE REPAIR. I INFORMED BOTH COMPANIES THAT I WAS NOT WORKING AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WERE OTHERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM WHEN I FOUND THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY COBALT LT. *TR |
