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,

Do you drive a 2010 CHEVROLET COBALT?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
