TAKATA RECALL. MY CAR HAS BEEN AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP ABOUT 7 TIMES NOW AND THEY CANNOT FIX MY CAR, AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. IT JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING. THE BREAKS LAND STEERING WHEEL LOCK UP AND I LOSE CONTROL OF MY CAR. I ALMOST RAN OVER CHILDREN CROSSING THE STREET WHEN I MADE A TURN. I HAD TO USE MY EBREAK AND I BARELY STOPPED IN TIME. THIS KEEPS HAPPENING AND MY IGNITION SWITCH RECALL CANNOT BE FIXED. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I FEEL LIKE I'M GAMBLING WITH MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF OTHERS IF I DRIVE MY CAR. SO I CANNOT DRIVE IT NOW. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE COURSE OF 2 YEARS I'VE HAD THIS CAR.

GAS SMELL OMITTING FROM UNDER THE BODY INTO THE CAR . CAR IS STATIONARY THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME , UNLESS ON MY WAY TO WORK . USUALLY TAKING CITY STREETS TO WORK . CAR IS PARKED AT HOME IN THE GARAGE.

TAKADA RECALL. THE LED INDICATOR ON MY STEERING COLUMN WILL SHOW POWER STEERING, AT WHICH POINT IF MY RPMS DROP BELOW 1000 THE CAR WILL STUTTER, THE POWER STEERING TURNS OFF, AND IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. USUALLY HAVE TO PULL OVER AND LET CAR REST FOR 10 TO 15 MINUTES BEFORE I CAN WE ENGAGE THE IGNITION AND DRIVE AT A SAFE MANNER. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING WHERE IT BECOMES EXTREMELY UNSAFE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HAVE CHECKED VIN NUMBERS AND CALLED CHEVROLET ONLY TO BE TOLD MY VIN NUMBER AND CAR IS TOO HIGH FOR THEIR RECALLS.

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WHEEL IS ACTING WEIRD IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE MIGHT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. NEED IT FIX PER CODE 10V073000

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED CAR IT'SEEMS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. FIRST IT WAS BOTH CONTROL ARM BUSHING AFTER 1 MONTH OF PURCHASING MY 06 CHEVY COLBALT. I'VE SINCE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FRONT END ALL EXCEPT FOR THE STEERING COLUMN.WHICH MAKES A LOUD UNSETTLING RATTLING NOISE WHEN I GO OVER THE SLIGHTEST BUMP OR WHEN I TURN MY WHEEL LEFT TO RIGHT WHILE IN THE PARK POSITION. BUT NOW EVEN MORE SCARY MY CAR HAS BEEN STALLING OUT RANDOMLY AND I'VE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINT'S ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I'VE HAD OIL CHANGES AND TUNES UP AND A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THE CAR IS OKAY.IT'S NOT OKAY! TODAY IT STALLED OUT WHILE ACCELERATING AT A GREEN TURN ARROW AND I GOT HIT FROM THE BACK BY THE CAR BEHIND ME TURNING AS WELL. NO HUGE DAMAGE BUT I'M AFRAID AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS THE REAL ISSUE.

WE HAVE A 2006 CHEVY COBALT WITH 81000 MILES. THIS VEHICLE BELONGED TO MY FATHER WHO IN TURN SAVED IT FOR MY SON. THE PROBLEM THAT I'M HAVING IS THAT WE SAVED THIS VEHICLE SO THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD STARTER CAR FOR MY SON BUT WE HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT IT IS UNSAFE. WE TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP FOR SOME WORK TO BE DONE ON THE CAR FOR THE FRONT STRUTS TO FIND OUT THAT IT HAS A GAS LEAK. UNKNOWN AS TO HOW LONG THE LEAK HAVE BEEN GOING ON. ONCE FINDING THAT INFORMATION OUT WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER TO SEE ABOUT A RECALL ON THE CAR. TURNS OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL #090226 FOR THE LEAK BUT FOR THE FUEL PUMP BUT NOT FOR THE FUEL LINE. I WAS TOLD BY THE CHEVY SERVICE DEPARTMENT TECH THAT IT IS UNKNOWN HOW THE PROBLEM MAY HAVE OCCURED OTHER THAN BEING OUTSIDE OR WHAT TYPE OF LANDING THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON. I'VE HAD 3 DIFFERENT VEHICLES & NEVER HAD A FUEL LINE LEAKAGE PROBLEM LET ALONE HAVING ANY TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE BY BEING OUTSIDE OR BEING PARKED ON THE STREET. NOW IF THE FUEL LINE & FUEL PUMP WORK HAND IN HAND WHY WOUNDN'T THE FUEL LINE BE APART OF THIS RECALL. AS A CUSTOMER, I DO BELIEVE THAT IF THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP THEN THEY WOULD REPLACE THE FUEL LINE IN ORDER FOR THE PARTS TO WORK PROPERLY. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE CUSTOMERS WOULD BE RIDING AROUND WITH A MAJOR HAZARD & WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW IT UNTIL THEY WERE IN AN ACCIDENT THAT MAY RESULT IN BEING FATAL. THERE IS NO REASON WHY THIS COMPANY WOULD RECALL

I HAD IGNITION SWITCH RECALL WORK PERFORMED ON MY CAR. FOLLOWING THAT, OR PERHAPS DUE TO INCREASED MILEAGE, I BEGAN HAVING POWER PROBLEMS WITH MY COBALT. ON 10/19/15 MY CAR WAS PARKED, WOULDN'T START AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THEN IT STARTED BUT DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO MOVE/RUN. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED - MILEAGE WAS 131,982 AT THE TIME. BATTERY WAS GOOD. THE SHOP SAID IT HAD PO300 CODES - RANDOM MISFIRES. THEY FOUND CYLINDERS 2 AND 3 WERE NOT CONTRIBUTING POWER DUE TO A BAD IGNITION MODULE. SO THE IGNITION MODULE WAS REPLACED. I ALSO HAD WORN SPARK PLUGS REPLACED, AS THE SHOP RECOMMENDED I DO SO. THE CAR STILL HAD MISFIRE CODES AND WOULD HESITATE WHEN RE-ACCELERATING AFTER STOPS, SO I PAID FOR A NEW FUEL FILTER AT THE REPAIR SHOP'S RECOMMENDATION. THE HESITATION CONTINUED BUT I COULDN'T AFFORD FURTHER DIAGNOSTICS/REPAIRS. WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS OF REPAIR MY CAR LOST COMPLETE POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. LUCKILY, OTHER DRIVERS HAD TIME/SPACE TO REACT, BUT IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A DEADLY ACCIDENT. DUE TO FINANCES, MY BROTHER CHECKED THE CAR FOR ME AND CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY - THE ONLY ISSUE HE COULD DETECT. IT HAS RUN A BIT BETTER SINCE THEN, BUT STILL EXHIBITS HESITATION AFTER STOPS. I WORRY IT MAY LOSE COMPLETE POWER AGAIN BUT I CANT AFFORD INCURRING FURTHER EXPENSE WITH TRIAL AND ERROR REPAIRS. ESPECIALLY AFTER READING ONLINE OTHER COBALT OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME EXPERIENCE, AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET RESOLUTION DESPITE MULTIPLE EXPENSIVE TRIPS TO MECH
