WE WERE DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR WHEN MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. WE HEARD A BEEPING SOUND AND COULD NOT TURN THE WHEEL. THERE WAS A CAR COMING TOWARDS US AND WE STARTED FREAKING OUT AND TO SWERVE TO MISS THEM SO WE WOULD NOT WRECK. WE HAD NO CHOICE TO PULL OVER AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG, BUT SINCE IT IS ELECTRIC WE COULD NOT FIND WHAT WAS WRONG. SINCE THIS HAPPENED AWAY FROM OUR HOUSE I MISSED WORK. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED FOR ABOUT FOUR DAYS BEFORE WE COULD GET IT FIXED. WE TOOK IT TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP BECAUSE IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. WE WERE ALSO TOLD THAT THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT HELP BECAUSE NO ONE WAS IN A WRECK OR HURT. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE US 1200 DOLLARS. WE ENDED UP TAKING IT SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR 800 DOLLARS. WE HAD TO BUY A NEW POWER STEERING COLUMN AND THE PART OF THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING. *TR

ON FEBRUARY 10, 2010, WHILE TRAVELING WEST ON 14TH STREET ANOTHER DRIVER IN THE LEFT LANE ENTERED MY LANE (RIGHT LANE), AND I SLAMMED ON BRAKES TO STOP FROM HITTING THE OTHER DRIVERS VEHICLE. DESPITE THE FACT IT WAS A SUNNY VERY COLD DAY OUTSIDE AND THE STREETS WERE DRY THE BRAKES ON MY VEHICLE LOCKED UP AS THOUGH I HAVE AN ANTI-LOCKING BRAKING SYSTEM, WHICH I DON'T HAVE ON MY CAR. THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME NONE RESPONSIVE AND MY CAR ENDED UP JUMPING THE CURB AND HITTING A TELEPHONE POLE ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR. THERE IS DAMAGE TO THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT AND A DENT IN THE SAME AREA IN THE SHAPE OF THE POLE; FURTHERMORE, THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT A GM BODY SHOP BEING REPAIRED BY THE OTHER DRIVERS INSURANCE; HOWEVER, IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT GM RECALL ABOUT AN ISSUE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL I AM BRINGING MY ACCIDENT TO YOUR ATTENTION JUST IN CASE THE ISSUES ARE RELATED. *TR

I AM AN UNFORTUNATE OWNER OF ONE OF THE WORST CARS EVER MADE, A CHEVROLET COBALT. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2008 WITH HOPES THAT IT WOULD STAND UP TO MY OLDER CAVALIER AND SUNFIRE. I WAS SADLY WRONG ABOUT MY CHOICE. AFTER ONLY TWO MONTHS OF OWNING MY VEHICLE (I BOUGHT IT AT A USED CAR CENTRE WITH 54000 KMS. JIM GILBERTS IN FREDERICTON, NB) AND 500 KMS OVER MY 60000K WARRANTY MY SWAY BAR LINKS HAD TO BE REPLACED. ONE MONTH AFTER I REPLACED THEM I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS. AFTER REPLACING ALL OF THAT I STARTED TO HEAR RATTLING COMING FROM MY STEERING WHEEL. I CAME TO FIND OUT THAT MY STEERING COLUMN WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. BEFORE I BOUGHT MY CAR I HAD A VEHICLE HISTORY REPORT DONE AND IT CAME BACK CLEAN. IT WAS USED AS A CITY COURIER CAR. I HAD THOUGHT THAT MAYBE BECAUSE OF CITY DRIVING THESE PARTS HAD BEEN WORN OUT PREMATURELY. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. ALMOST ALL OF THEM CLAIM THAT THESE PROBLEMS WERE WITH CARS BOUGHT DIRECTLY OFF THE LOT. I KNOW 5 PEOPLE PERSONALLY WHO ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. ONE OF MY FRIENDS HAD HIS STEERING COLUMN REPLACED 4 TIMES. I REPLACED MY SWAY BAR LINKS TWICE AND THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN AND I AM ON MY SECOND SET OF CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS. I HAVE YET REPLACED MY STEERING COLUMN BECAUSE I CAN NOT AFFORD THE BILL. I HAVE LEARNED OF THE RECENT RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING MOTOR. THAT IS ONE OF THE PROBLEMS THAT I DON'T HAVE, YET. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW RECALLS ARE DECIDED ON? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT FOR THESE COMPANIES TO TAKE SOME KIND OF ACTION? I AM WAITING FOR THE DAY WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE FRONT END OF MY CAR FALLS OFF. *TR

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.
