THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON CONTINUOUSLY FOR THE PAST YEAR. MULTIPLE DIAGNOSTIC TEST HAVE POINTED TO A COIL PACK OR SPARK PLUG MISFIRE PROMPTING A REPLACEMENT.

WHILE DRIVING TO A LOCAL BUSINESS IN MY 2010 CHEVY COBALT, I LOST THE POWER STEERING TO MY VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THANKFULLY I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY ON A STRAIGHT ROAD WITH MINIMAL TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BACK HOME. TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING QUIT SUDDENLY WAS SHOCKING AND FRIGHTENING AND I'M VERY THANKFUL THAT I WASN'T DRIVING IN MORE CHALLENGING CONDITIONS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY RETURNING TO WORK FROM MY LUNCH. I HEAR THE THREE WARNING CHIMES AND LOOK AT THE DASH. THE WARNING READS "POWER STEERING". I SLOW DOWN TO MAKE MY TURN IN A QUARTER MILE AND REALIZED THAT I NO LONGER HAD THE POWER STEERING. I KNEW I WAS ON THE RECALL LIST FOR THE IGNITION AND WAS STILL WAITING FOR THE PART AT MY LOCAL DEALER. I FOUND ONLINE THE BULLETIN 14115. DATED MARCH 31, 2014, THAT REFERRED TO REPLACING THE POWER STEERING MOTOR IN CARS INCLUDING MY 2010 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHEN I RESTARTED MY CAR, THE STEERING WORKED FOR A FEW BLOCKS THEN WENT OUT AGAIN. MY FATHER TOOK MY CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALER BECAUSE I HAD TO WORK. I HAD PRINTED OUT THE BULLETIN FOR HIM TO TAKE. THE DEALER HAD NOT HEARD OF IT. HE CALLED DETROIT AND SPOKE TO A MAN NAMED AL AT GM HEADQUARTERS. HE DID NOT HAVE THAT BULLETIN EITHER. THE DEALER WENT AHEAD AND FIXED THE IGNITION RECALL PART, BUT COULD NOT GET THE POWER STEERING ISSUE TO HAPPEN. I DROVE IT LESS THAN ONE DAY AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I DROVE IMMEDIATELY BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE MOTOR AND POSSIBLY THE STEERING COLUMN. OUT OF POCKET, I PAID FOR THE MOTOR REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD IF THEY EVER RECEIVE THE BULLETIN, THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME. I CHECKED ONLINE FOR THE RECALL ON MY VIN AND IT IS NOT ON THERE. SO IS IT A CURRENT RECALL OR NOT? AND WHY IS GM NOT NOTIFYING PEOPLE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE IN MAY THAT THIS VEHICLE MODEL HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN NUMEROUS WRECKS RELATED TO FATALITIES/INJURIES AND I WAS DIRECTED TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ON 5/15/2014 AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD ORDER THE PARTS AND THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS CAME IN SO THEY COULD FIX IT. AS OF TODAY(7/16/2014) THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. GM APPARENTLY HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2004 AND NEGLECTED TO NOTIFY THE PUBLIC OR TAKE CORRECTIVE MEASURES IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS SINCE 2004. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND DO NOT SEE THE PROBLEM BEING CORRECTED IN A TIMELY MANNER. I AM REQUESTING YOU EVALUATE IF THERE IS ANY WAY GM CAN BE REQUIRED TO BUY THESE VEHICLES FROM US SO WE CAN PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE AND NOT CONTINUE TO PUT MY LIFE AND MANY OTHERS IN THE SAME SITUATION AT RISK ON A DAILY BASIS. *TR

NOTICED THAT MY STEERING WAS NOT STABLE SOMETIMES, ESPECIALLY GOING AROUND CORNERS. THOUGHT IT WAS MAYBE TIRES OR FRONT END. IT IS IN THE STEERING. WHETHER I GO SLOW AROUND TOWN OR ON THE HIGHWAY IT TIGHTENS UP SOMETIMES OR SEEMS LOOSE. *TR

THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V047000 (AIR BAGS , ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING) AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V171000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS.

WHILE DRIVING ALONG IN MY COBALT, SUDDENLY,WITHOUT WARNING, THE ENGINE POWER DROPPED OFF AND THE VEHICLE BASICALLY CAME TO A STOP IN BUSY TRAFFIC. THIS, (AFFECTING POWER STEERING, SPEED, CONTROL AND STABILITY),BUT, .. MOST IMPORTANTLY !!, .. SEVERELY THREATENED THE SAFETY OF VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO GET OUT OF HARMS WAY..(.. I WAS TURNING LEFT, SAFELY SPACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE 1ST TIME..).!! VERY SCARY WHEN CARS ARE BLASTING TOWARD YOU AND THE CAR WON'T RESPOND AS IT SHOULD. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY MORE TIMES SINCE THAT FIRST ENCOUNTER AND AT ANY TIME, WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING, IT WILL PUT YOU IN VERY HAZARDOUS, UNSAFE, DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATIONS..!!!! NICE ENGINEERING JOB GM ...!!! (WHERE'S THE COMMON SENSE OR FORETHOUGHT..??) *TR

MY POWER STEERING GOES IN AND OUT ON MY CHEVY COBALT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC DURING RUSH HOUR, THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND THE MESSAGE "POWER STEERING" WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. THIS MADE THE CAR VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE OTHER DRIVERS HIT THEIR BRAKES SUDDENLY TO AVOID HITTING ME AS I STRUGGLED TO COMPLETE THE LANE CHANGE. THIS RESULTED IN PULLED MUSCLES IN MY SHOULDERS AND ARMS, ALONG WITH THE MENTAL DISTRESS OF ALMOST BEING HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS VEHICLE WAS ALREADY INVOLVED IN TWO IGNITION RECALLS FOR A SWITCH AND CYLINDER. APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AGO I RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOW INVOLVED IN ANOTHER RECALL, THIS ONE TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING MOTOR. AS YET NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THIS REPAIR, AND NO ACCOMMODATIONS ARE BEING MADE FOR OWNERS WHO HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE STEERING. I PROTESTED PICKING UP MY COBALT FROM THE DEALER WHEN THE IGNITION WAS REPAIRED DUE TO THE POWER STEERING ISSUE, AND WAS TOLD THAT PICKING IT UP AND WAITING FOR ANOTHER LETTER STATING THAT PARTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE IS THE BEST THEY CAN DO. *TR

AFTER HAVING OUR NEW IGNITION SWITCH ABOUT A WEEK OR SO EARLIER, I WENT TO DRIVE OUR 2010 COLBALT TO A NEARBY TOWN. ON ABOUT JUNE 28TH OR 29TH, I WAS ABOUT HALFWAY TO THE PLACE I WAS GOING, MY STEERING ALL OF A SUDDEN GOT HARDER TO STEER. I LOOKED AT THE DASHBOARD AND SAW THE WORDS POWER STEERING ON IT. SO I TOOK THE CAR HOME AND CALLED A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO BRING THE CAR IN. WE WERE INFORMED THAT THEY, (DEALERSHIP), HAD HEARD ABOUT A RECALL ON THE STEERING, BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY PAPERWORK TO BE INSTRUCTED TO FIX THIS AS A RECALL ITEM. I LOOKED UP POSSIBLE RECALL LIST ON THE CHEVROLETS AND THE ONE I READ IS FROM MARCH 31, 2014. WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG FOR THEM TO DECIDE IF IT IS A RECALL IF THERE ARE OTHER PROBLEMS OUT THERE? ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEBODY TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE THEY MAKE THAT DECISION? AND OUR VEHICLE HAD JUST HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH PUT IN A WEEK OR SO EARLIER. *JS

2010 CHEVROLET COBALT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE IGNITION & START SWITCH RECALL NOTICE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE SON WAS DRIVING, WHEN THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED. ACCORDING TO AN EYE WITNESS, HER SON WAS NOT DRIVING ERRATICALLY, AND HE DID NOT MAKE ANY SUDDEN MOVES, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN HE CRASHED INTO A GUARDRAIL, AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN SPINNING. HE SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, AND HE HIT THE GUARDRAIL AGAIN. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED THE ACCIDENT, WAS A RESULT OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 CHEVROLET COBALT HOME AFTER LEAVING WORK, I WAS ENTERING ONTO THE THRUWAY WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVATED, MY DASHBOARD READER SAID, "ENGINE POWER REDUCED", THE CAR THEN LOST ACCELERATION, STARTED TO BUCK AND SHAKE. I QUICKLY PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND LET THE CAR SIT FOR 15 MINUTES. UPON START UP, I PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE, IT BUCKED INTO GEAR AND I PROCEEDED WITH CAUTION NOT DOING MORE THAN 30-35 MPH. I WENT TO ADVANCED AUTO PARTS AND RAN THEIR FREE OBDII DIAGNOSTIC READER. THE CODE THAT CAME BACK WAS PO641 - ENGINE CONTROL MODULE - PORT #3. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CLEARED OUT AFTER 2 DAYS. THE CAR RUNS FINE NOW. VERY CONCERNED THOUGH.

POWER STEERING FAILED, STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY HARD TO TURN. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME NOW BUT THE DEALER SAYS MY CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. HOW CAN ONLY SOME 2010 COBALTS BE COVERED, OBVIOUSLY MY CAR HAS THE ISSUE. *TR

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH POWER STEERING, BELIEVING THE FIRST IN 3/2013..THE POWER STEERING FLASHES ON DASH AND STOPS STEERING CAR MAKING IT HARD TO CONTROL. WAS HAPPENING RANDOMLY AT FIRST ,BUT NOW 6/2014, IT HAPPENS DAILY AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ON SATURDAY,6/21/2014 IT HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN A 15 MILE STRETCH, AND ON MONDAY 6/23/2014, IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN A 30 MILE STRETCH. YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND TURN THE CAR OFF SO THE POWER STEERING CAN RESET ELECTRONICALLY. LUCKILY , I WAS ABLE TO DO SO BECAUSE IT IS SCARY WHEN IT GOES. THIS CAR IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN, AND CHEVY SAYS THIS COBALT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE POWER STEERING RECALL. A LOT OF TIMES I'VE HAD TO DRIVE A MILE OR SO TO FIND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF...AND IT HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT BEFORE WHEN YOU CAN'T CONTROL IT! COME ON GM, FIX MY CAR, YOU BUILT IT THAT WAY. IF THIS CAR HAS THE IGNITION AND LOCK RECALL, DON'T YOU THINK IT IS RELATED TO POWER STEERING! DO YOU WANT ANOTHER DEATH ON YOUR HANDS!!!! *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60 MPH WHEN MY SCREEN SAID ENGINE POWER DOWN AND IT AUTOMATICALLY REDUCED SPEED AND EVENTUALLY SAID DISABLED ENGINE AND I LOST ALL POWER. I HAD MY CAR TESTED AND IT IS A FAULTY ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. I BELIEVE FOR A 2010 THIS PART SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE BAD AND WHEN MY ENGINE POWERED DOWN AND DISABLED MY ENGINE GOING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND EARLIER COBALT MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM AND PART. *TR

ON JUNE 6 I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING TO MY HOME WITH MY FAMILY I WAS GOING ABOUT 40 MILES . WHEN I TRY TO MAKE A LEFT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL GOT TIGHT AND WHEN I TRY TO STOP I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I ALMOST HAD AN TERRIBLE ACCIDENT MY WIFE IS STILL IN SHOCK. THANK GOD I DID NOT WREAK MY CAR. RITE NOW I CANT DRIVE MY CAR. I AM VERY SCARED. I RECEIVED A RECALL MAIL TO FIX MY IGNITION SWITCH BUT STILL WAITING.I WOULD LIKE MY STEERING AND IGNITION TO BE FIX. I WILL APPRECIATE YOUR COOPERATION ON THIS MATTER [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON 03JUN14 I HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED AND THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER AND IGNITION KEY REPLACED DUE TO THE OPEN RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. SINCE THAT TIME ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE IT "STUTTERED" THIS IS THE BEST WORD I CAN USE TO DESCRIBE THE ISSUE. I DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM PRIOR TO HAVING THE ABOVE MENTIONED REPLACED. WHEN THIS OCCURS I HAVE TO TURN THE IGNITION KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND IT STARTS. THE "STUTTERING" DOES NOT SOUND LIKE A DEAD BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR ISSUE AS I HAVE HEARD THOSE SOUNDS BEFORE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ABOVE PARTS HAVE RESOLVED ANY RECALL ISSUE AND BELIEVE THAT INJURY OR DEATH WILL RESULT IN CONTINUED DRIVING OF THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
