THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT ON THE POWER ASSISTED STEERING FAILING ON MY 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT. TERRY CULLEN CHEVROLET SUPPOSEDLY MADE THE RECALL REPAIR ON THIS CAR IN 2010. HOWEVER, THE POWER STEERING HAS FAILED TWICE. THE SECOND TIME IT FAILED, I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY ON NOVEMBER 22, 2015 AT 11:36 AM AND HAD JUST BACKED OUT OF MY GARAGE. THE CAR FELT LIKE A STALL; I COULD NOT MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND ON THE DASHBOARD THE MESSAGE READ "POWER STEERING". THIS FLASHED ON, REMAINED LIT UP FOR AWHILE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF. AFTER A MINUTE OR SO I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN, AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE WITHOUT FAILURE OF THE POWER ASSISTED STEERING. I HAVE REQUESTED AGAIN THAT GENERAL MOTORS REPAIR THIS PROBLEM UNDER THE ORIGINAL RECALL NOTICE IN 2010 SINCE THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND SHOWS UP UNEXPECTEDLY AT ANY TIME. I REQUESTED TERRY CULLEN TO ASK THAT GENERAL MOTORS REPAIR THIS PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE TO ME. I ALSO HAVE SPOKEN TO A FEMALE CSR AT GENERAL MOTORS ABOUT REPAIRING THIS PROBLEM WITHOUT CHARGE TO ME. SHE STATED THAT TERRY CULLEN WOULD REPAIR THE PROBLEM FOR $99.00. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN AND DO NOT HAVE $99.00 FOR THIS REPAIR. SO, I AM FACED WITH THE PROBLEM OF RISKING MY LIFE WHEN I MUST DRIVE. I HAVE INFORMED THE MANAGER AT TERRY CULLEN, LEE POWELL, AND THE GENERAL MOTORS CSR THAT IF I AM IN A FATAL ACCIDENT DUE TO FAILURE OF THE ASSISTED POWER STEERING THAT I HAVE INSTRUCTED MY FAMILY TO TAKE LEGAL ACTIION BY FILING A LAWSUIT AGAINST GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION, TERRY CULLEN CHEVROLET DEALER IN JONESBORO, GA AND LEE POWELL, THE SERVICE MANAGER AT TERRY CULLEN CHEVROLET.

Official recalls
5Apr 10, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR, 2007-2010 Pontiac G5, 2006-2010 Pontiac Solstice, 2003-2007 Saturn Ion, and 2007-2010 Saturn Sky vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the "Off" position.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the "off" position, the vehicle could roll away: (a) for an automatic transmission, if the transmission is not in the "Park" position; or (b) for a manual transmission, if the parking brake is not engaged and the transmission is not in the "Reverse" position. This potential for rollaway increases the risk for a crash and occupant or pedestrian injuries.
Remedy: General Motors will notify owners, and for vehicles that were built with the defective ignition cylinder and have not previously had the ignition cylinder replaced with the redesigned part, dealers will replace the ignition cylinder and cut and, if necessary, re-learn two ignition/door keys for each vehicle. For vehicles that were built with the redesigned ignition cylinder or had the ignition cylinder replaced with the redesigned part, dealers will cut and, if necessary, re-learn two ignition/door keys for each vehicle. The recall began on April 18, 2014. Chevrolet owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-222-1020, Pontiac owners at 1-800-762-2737, and Saturn owners at 1-800-553-6000. General Motors' number for this recall is 14113 for the ignition lock cylinder and key replacement, and 14133 for only key replacements. Note: Until a vehicle has been remedied, owners and operators are advised that when exiting, to be sure that the vehicle is in "Park," or in the case of a manual transmission, that the vehicle is in the "Reverse" position and the parking brake is engaged.

This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on February 10, 2014 that they are recalling 619,122 model year 2005-2007 Chevrolet Cobalt, and 2007 Pontiac G5 vehicles. On February 25, 2014, GM increased the recall to include an additional 748,024 model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet HHR and Pontiac Solstice vehicles and 2003-2007 Saturn Ion vehicles and 2007 Saturn Sky vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine. On March 27, 2014, GM notified the agency that the defective ignition switches may have been used as service replacement parts on other vehicles, and as a result GM will be recalling certain model year 2008-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, Saturn Sky, and Pontiac G5 and Solstice, and 2008-2011 Chevrolet HHR vehicles. The part numbers for the service parts are 10392423 (a/k/a ACDelco D1461F), 10392737, 15857948, 15854953, 15896640, and 25846762. This expansion represents an additional 823,788 vehicles.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. An interim notification was issued to owners of 2007 and earlier models on March 10, 2014, informing them of the safety defect. Owners of 2008 and later vehicles will be mailed an interim letter on April 21, 2014. All affected owners will receive another letter once parts are available. The recall began on April 18, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, Pontiac at 1-800-762-2737 or Saturn at 1-800-553-6000. GM's number for the initial recall is 13454 and 14063 for the expansion. GMs recall number for the vehicles that may have received the replacement parts is 14092. Note: Until the recall repairs have been performed, it is very important that customers remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the vehicle key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. Always wear your seatbelt.
