| 2007 | STEERING | I WAS DRIVING OUT OF MY APARTMENT COMPLEX AND POWER STEERING CAME UP ON THE LITTLE SCREEN, THEN WITH NO WARNING MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND WAS VERY UNSAFE. THIS WAS ON A WEEKEND SO I COULD NOT GET TO A DEALERSHIP. THE NEXT DAY I WENT OUT TO LOOK AT MY CAR AND IT WORKED FINE. WHEN I DROVE IT AROUND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN. ONCE AGAIN, A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT IN YET BUT HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND SEEN THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR COBALTS AND EVEN THOUGH THEY TAKE IT TO GET FIXED IT KEEPS HAPPENING. *TR |
