POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, STEERING
I RECENTLY PURCHASED USED MY 2005 CHEVY COBALT AND SUNDAY A WEEK AFTER HAVING THE CAR GAVE ME PROBLEMS. ACCORDING TO THE CARFAX REPORT THE POWER STEERING WAS REPLACED IN APRIL ASSUMING DO TO THE RECALL. BUT I GOT IN MY CAR AND THE POWER STEERING READ ACROSS THE MILEAGE AREA AND CHIMED. VERY LITTLE NOTICEABLE ISSUES DO TO STEERING BUT WHEN I CAME TO A STOP LIGHT IT VIBRATED REALLY BAD AND THEN EVERYTIME IT SHIFTED(ITS AN AUTOMATIC) TO ANOTHER GEAR HIGHER OR LOWER IT WOULD ACT LIKE IT HAD SHIFTING PROBLEMS. ALSO WHEN I WOULD COME TO STOPS AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN IT WOULD VIBRATE REALLY BAD TO THE POINT WHERE IT SEEMED LIKE IT WOULD STALE OUT. IT HAD ONLY STALLED ONCE. I JUST HOPE SOMEONE CAN RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE TONS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. *TR

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT COMES ON THEN MY DAUGHTERS' CAR JERKS VIOLENTLY AT TIMES AND SHE HAS TROUBLE MAINTAINING CONTROL OF HER CAR , (2005 CHEVY COBALT). THIS PROBLEM ALMOST CAUSED HER TO LOOSE TOTAL CONTROL OF HER CAR THIS PAST SPRING , COMING TOO CLOSE TO CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENS PERIODICALLY , NO SET TIME SPAN , IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 6 OR 8 TIMES SINCE LAST SPRING. OUR GM DEALER SAID SHE SHOULD BRING THE CAR IN WHILE THE WARNING LIGHT IS ON SO THEY CAN PULL THE CODE. UNFORTUNATELY , WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND PUT INTO PARK , THE LIGHT GOES AWAY. AND ALL OF THESE TIMES EXCEPT ONE , THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AFTER THE DEALERSHIP IS CLOSED OR WELL BEFORE THEY OPEN , OR SHE IS NOWHERE NEAR ANY GM OR CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ISOLATED , I HAVE READ OF OTHER COBALT OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME TRACTION CONTROL PROBLEM WITH SOME OF THE SAME RESULTS OR RESULTS THAT ARE DIFFERENT FROM MY DAUGHTERS CAR. THE POINT BEING (AT LEAST IN THIS CASE) I BELIEVE THAT GM OR CHEVY SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR TAKING CARE OF THE PROBLEM , BEFORE THERE IS AN ACCIDENT THAT CAUSES SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH . I READ ABOUT ALL THE OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM ON THE "REPAIR PAL" WEBSITE. THE MODEL YEARS SEEM TO BE BETWEEN "04" AND "07". THE ONE TIME MY DAUGHTER WAS ABLE TO GET HER CAR INTO THE GM DEALER WHILE THE LIGHT WAS ON , SHE HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK SO SHE COULD GO IN TO GET SOMEONE TO HOOK UP THEIR COMPUTER AND PULL THE CODE. WHEN THEY CAME BACK OUT , THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT WAS OUT , AS I STATED EARLIER ABOUT PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK. THEREFORE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING SINCE THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ERGO , NO CODE TO PULL. *TR

STEERING, EQUIPMENT
CHEVY TODAY SAID THAT THEIR IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY PWR STEERING YET BOTH MYSELF AND MY BROTHER TEST DROVE IT. NOW IN AUG I HAD THE RECALL AND THEY FIXED IT SO THEY CLAIMED IN AUG BUT YET IT IS DOING THE SAME THING ONLY WORSE THIS PAST WK. AMAZING HOW CHEVY WILL TRY TO USE THE EXCUSE THAT IT IS SOMETHING ELSE OTHER THEN THE PWR STEERING WHEN THE INSTRUMENT LIGHT CHIMING PWR STEERING WAS A [XXX] GOOD INDICATION THAT IT WAS THE STEERING. NOT TO MENTION I COULD NOT TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AND WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WOULD JOLT LIKE IT WAS NOT GOING INTO GEAR. LET ME NOT FORGET TO MENTION THE CLICKING NOISE I GET UNDERNEATH THE DASH NEAR THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE CLICKING IN THE SHIFTER. SAME PROBLEM NEW DAY AND THEY TELL ME IT'S FINE. I GUESS I HAVE TO KILL SOMEONE ON THE RD FOR THEM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE CAR. YOU GUYS NEED TO STEP IN BECAUSE I AM 2 STEPS AWAY FROM CALLING A LAWYER AND SUING EVERYONE THAT IS INVOLVED WITH KNOWING AND NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I SURELY DO NOT FEEL LIKE BEING SCRAPED OFF THE DARN HWY OR THE GUILT OF KILLING SOMEONE OVER SOMETHING THAT YOU GUYS SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF BACK IN 2005 WHEN ALL THIS STARTED HAPPENING. WE NEED TO RECALL ALL CARS FROM 05 TO 09 AND GET THEM OFF THE STREET AND HAVE CHEVY REIMBURSE US OR GIVE US A SAFER CAR. I KNOW IT MAY SEEM LIKE A LOT OF MONEY BUT 1 LIFE BEING SAVED MAKES A DIFFERENCE. I KNOW CAR DEALERS HAVE WHAT THEY CALL A BEAN COUNTER AND THEY DON'T CARE IF 1 OR A 12 PEOPLE DIE FROM FAULTY EQUIPMENT AND YOU GUYS CAN LIVE WITH THAT. BUT TO ME THAT IS HORRIBLE AND NEEDS TO BE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY....NOW MEANS NOW!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME NOT SO HAPPY WITH HOW YOU GUYS MANAGE SAFETY AND THE RESPONSE TIME. IGNORE THE PARTS SECTION OR EQUIPMENT SECTION BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW THE MANUFACTURER OF THE PWR MOTOR REPLACED. I TRULY DO NOT FEEL THEY EVEN REPLACED IT. I THINK AMERICA HAS BEEN HAD ONCE AGAIN BY THE CAR INDUSTRY. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STEERING, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
WELL LAST YEAR I HAD ISSUES WITH MY 05 CHEVY COBALT POWER STEERING UNIT AND IT DID ALMOST GET ME KILLED ALONG WITH SOME PEDESTRIANS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. LUCKILY NO ONE GOT HURT. YOU GUYS FINALLY RECALLED THE CAR AND I HAD MY UNIT REPLACED ON AUGUST 16 OF 2010. HOWEVER THIS PAST MONDAY OCTOBER 4TH MY CAR DID THE SAME THING AFTER THE REPAIRED RECALL WAS FIXED. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT ANY VEHICLE FROM 05 - 09 HAS THIS PROBLEM AND IT WILL NEVER BE FULLY REPAIRED CORRECTLY OR IT CAN'T BE. BUT I THINK IT WILL TAKE HUNDREDS OF MORE ACCIDENTS AND MAYBE A FEW HUNDRED DEATHS BEFORE IT IS TRULY DEALT WITH ACCORDINGLY. I THINK THEY JUST NEED TO TAKE ALL THESE VEHICLES BACK AND SCRAP THEM AS RECYCLABLES BECAUSE THEY WILL NEVER BE SAFE OR LIABLE. THEY WERE POORLY MANUFACTURED AND I TRULY DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN IT. HOWEVER I CAN NOT AFFORD A NEW CAR SO I AM STUCK WITH THE RISK OF KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE ALONG WITH MYSELF. GOD BE WITH US ALL AS WE TAKE OUR CHANCES AND VENTURE INTO THE VALLEY OF DEATH. KEEPING THESE CARS ON THE ROAD, YOU ARE KILLING PEOPLE. WAKE UP GUYS AND LETS FIXED THIS PROBLEM NOW BEFORE MORE PEOPLE GET KILLED........I AM ALREADY FOR A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST CHEVY. I RATHER DO IT NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE AND OTHERS DIE OR GET HURT BECAUSE OF A COMPUTER CONTROLLED DEVICE THAT I THINK IS TRULY UNREPAIRABLE.... SORRY UNDER EQUIPMENT I ADDED ZF AND I-SHAFT. I DID NOT KNOW THE PART MANUFACTURER THAT THEY INSTALLED SO IGNORE THAT PART. ALL I KNOW IS THEY FIXED THE SO CALLED POWER STEERING RECALL ISSUE THING AND IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. OR THE REPAIRS WILL NEVER TRULY FIX THIS PROBLEM AND YOU NEED TO ISSUE A STATEWIDE ALERT TO GET THESE VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD COMPLETELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT IF NOT KILLED. HAVE SOME DIGNITY FOR HUMAN LIFE PLEASE IS ALL I ASK. THANK YOU!!! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2005 CHEVY COBALT HAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN MAY OF THIS YEAR. THE GAUGES GO HAYWIRE AND POWER STEERING COMES ACROSS THE SCREEN AND THEN MY CAR JERKS. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED I COULD JUST SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WAIT AWHILE AND START IT BACK UP AND THEN BE FINE. NOW WHEN I START THE CAR AND LET IT WARM UP BEFORE I EVEN DRIVE IT THE SCREEN SAYS POWER STEERING AND GAUGES ARE GOING HAYWIRE AGAIN. NOW MY CAR JUST SITS THERE AND I CAN'T DRIVE IT AND STILL MAKING PAYMENTS. I WENT FROM A 1998 CAVALIER TO THIS 2005 COBALT AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH A NEWER VEHICLE. THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I NEED A BODY CONTROL MODULE. *TR

STEERING
MY CHEVY COBALT JUST REACHED THE 40,000 MILE MARK RECENTLY AND HAS BEEN PRESENTING A POWER STEERING DEFECT. I UNDERSTAND THE CAR OPERATES ELECTRICALLY, HOWEVER, THERE HAS BEEN NO WARNING OF A POWER STEERING PROBLEM. MY STEERING WHEEL PICKS AND CHOOSES WHICH DAY IT WANTS TO LOCK UP AND STOP WORKING. THE FIRST TIME THE POWER STEERING ACTED UP, I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN. I WAS TERRIFIED BECAUSE MY STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T TURN ENOUGH TO COMPLETE THE TURN, EVEN BY USING ALL MY STRENGTH. HOWEVER, MY CARS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY AS OF LATELY. THIS PROBLEM COULD OF VERY WELL CAUSED MY LIFE. HAVING RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM I'M EVEN MORE TERRIFIED SEEING AS I AM BEGINNING TO EXPERIENCE THESE PROBLEMS. I'M UPSET AND DISTURBED THAT THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. EVERY TIME I TURN MY WHEEL I'M SCARED OF WHEN IT WILL ACT UP AGAIN. *TR
