AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN US 95 NORTH IN LAS VEGAS AT 65 MPH, THE IGNITION SUDDENLY TURNED OFF AND LEFT ME COASTING WITH NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. I WAS IN THE EXIT LANE. BECAUSE IT WAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, I WAS ABLE TO DEPRESS THE CLUTCH AND TURN THE KEY AND ENGINE FIRED RIGHT UP AGAIN BEFORE I DECREASED TOO MUCH SPEED THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE 3 YEARS I OWNED THIS CAR. THE SECOND TIME WAS ON RAPART BLVD BETWEEN CHEYENNE AND LAKE MEAD, AGAIN IN LAS VEGAS. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COAST OUT OF TRAFFIC AND INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE I LEFT THE CAR BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. MECHANICS COULD NEVER FIGURE OUT WHY IT CONTINUED TO DO THIS. I THINK GM NEEDS TO LOOK EVEN FARTHER BACK WITH THESE IGNITION ISSUES AS THE CAVALIER IS THE PREDECESSOR TO THE COBALT. I REPEAT THIS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AND THEY COULD NEVER FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. *TR

WHENEVER DRIVING THE VEHICLE ABOUT 40MPH, WOULD HEAR A NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF VEHICLE WHEN TURNING. THEN THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD ALWAYS GO TO THE RIGHT. TOOK TO DEALER & INFORMED THAT IT WAS THE RACK AND PINION. *AK

TILT STEERING FAILURE, THERE IS A LOT OF PLAY IN THE TILT STEERING. TT CONSUMER STATES THE TILT STEERING IS CAUSING THE IGNITION SWITCH TO SHORT CIRCUIT WHICH CAUSES ENGINE TO STALL. *SLC
