2010 CHEVROLET COBALT RECALL - #14V047000
RECALL FOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM : IGNITION : SWITCH
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.

My 2008 Cobalt lost steering power,it was under recall, so I took it in.I was not told how dangerous this could be. So while I was waiting for the chip for the power steering to come in, my steering locked up this time and I lost control while going 65MPH and just scraped a large tree and damaged the wheels. Within 24 hrs. after the new chip was installed while traveling at approx 50 MPH the steering locked up again and I was able to stop the car before it left the highway. I am now having to purchase a new steering column, all of the damages to my car I had to pay for including the steerinig system, and my car is not that old, they tell the warranty on the steering has expired. I thought there was something called product liablity especially if the part that caused the damage to my car was a recalled part. I was not told that my car was dangerous to drive. I am a little leary of driving now and now not looking forward to driving my Cobalt when it is repaired over for well over &1,
