| 2005 | STEERING | I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY COBALT WITH ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. I WAS DRIVING HOME AND IT WAS RAINING AND SUDDENLY MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. THEN THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I WAS DRIVING TO THE STORE. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM IN CHEVY COBALTS AND SATURN IONS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. IF THERE ARE SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER STEERING IN THESE CARS THEN THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY BEFORE PEOPLE LOSE THEIR LIVES OVER AN SIMPLE ERROR. *TR |
| 2009 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION | AFTER SHUTTING OFF MY 2009 CHEVY COBALT I WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH TO RESTART THE CAR. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND HAVE A NEW IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER REPLACED. *TR |
