I OWN A 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT. AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR I WENT TO MAKE A TURN ONTO A STREET AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF AND JUST COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP. I WASN'T GOING MORE THAN 5 MPH WHEN MAKING THE TURN AND I ALMOST GOT RE-ENDED BECAUSE MY CAR CAME TO A ABRUPT AND I ALMOST GOT RE-ENDED. I HAD TO TAKE THE CAR PUT IT BACK INTO PARK AND RESTART. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THIS HAPPENED ON 10/24/05, AND THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED 2 MORE TIMES AFTER FOR A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES B/C IT HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY ON 10/2/05. *JB

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WAS TOLD AIR INJECTOR VALVE OPER/SOLENOID REPLACE. DROVE 800 MILES, TOOK EMISSIONS TEST FAILED. SHOWED NO CODES. WAS TOLD BY TECH TO TRY DRIVING 100 MILES. OR TAKE TO DEALER, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP CHARGED DIAGNOSTIC FEE. WAS TOLD BY THEM TO DRIVE 100 MILES. DROVE 150 RETURNED NEXT DAY. STILL THE CODES ARE NOT SHOWING. WANT ME TO DRIVE ANOTHER 150 MILES. TWO CODES ARE NOT SHOWING. TOOK BACK TO EMISSIONS PROVIDER, THEY SHOWED ME IT WAS THE 02 SENSOR AND LAST TEST ON THE OBD COMPUTER. I DON'T REMEMBER THE NAME. ALSO PLEASE NOTE MY RADIO FROZE AGAIN PLAYING ON 1 STATION AND SHOWING ANOTHER. SHOWED IT TO TECH TODAY. AND ALSO MY BRAKES STILL GIVING SAME PROBLEM. ABS BRAKES STILL PULLING VEHICLE. BOUGHT NEW TIRES TO HELP WITH THE TRACTION. BUT PROBLEM STILL SAME. FUEL WAS ABOUT 12 MILES PER GAL. HOW MANY MILES DO I HAVE TO DRIVE IN ORDER FOR THE COMPUTER ON THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND. I'VE DRIVEN OVER 1000 (ONE THOUSAND) SINCE FRIDAY 10-21-05. WHAT A LEMON! I WILL BE RETURNING BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP (CHEV) TOMORROW AFTER DRIVING 150 MILES. MY DAYTIME LIGHT STILL GOES OUT WHEN USING TURN SIGNALS. *NM

WHILE DRIVING ON A VERY BUSY L.A. FREEWAY ON A SATURDAY EVENING MY CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER WITH NO WARNING TO THE POINT OF ALMOST STALLING. LUCKY FOR ME I SAY MY PRAYERS AND WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE TO THE OFF RAMP AND COAST ON TO THE STREET WHERE I WAS PUSHED OUT OF TRAFFIC BY A GOOD SAMARITAN (I'M A SINGLE FEMALE DRIVER). I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I WAS ABLE TO START IT AGAIN AFTER AWHILE AND CHUGGED HOME 30 SLOW MILES TO MY HOUSE ( I WAS ALL OUT OF TOWS ON AAA AND NO MECHANICS OPEN AT THAT TIME).NEXT WEEK MY SAAB MECHANIC INDICATES THAT IT IS THE DI FAILING. ESTIMATED COST PART/LABOR IS $550.00. I JUST REPLACED THE DI 9/15/2003 AFTER A SIMILAR INCIDENT HAPPENED AND ALL POWER WAS LOST WHILE DRIVING, I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND HAD IT TOWED TO SAAB. COST TO ME THE FIRST TIME WAS APPROXIMATELY $450.00 NOT INCLUDING CAR RENTAL. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD ON THE '99S AS ALL THESE POSTED COMPLAINTS INDICATE AND I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THE CURRENT RECALL IS NOT INCLUDING '99S. I'VE HELD OFF REPLACING THE REPLACEMENT THAT LASTED ONLY 20,000 MI/2 YEARS HOPING TO GET SOME RECOGNITION/HELP FROM SAAB WITH THIS. PART IS AVAILABLE. OBVIOUSLY THE CURRENT (FAILED) DI IN MY CAR IS A 2000 - 2002 SAAB DI - SO WILL THEY TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS REPAIR? THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I ADAMANTLY BELIEVE SAAB SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM ON THE 99S AS (I HAVE FOUND OUT) IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AMONG OWNERS. *NM

IN THE SUMMER OF 2002 MY GMC SIERRAS PU TRUCK VIN [XXX] BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE BRAKE CHATTER AT VERY LOW SPEED. IT THEN BEGAN TO CONTINUE TO ROLL WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THIS PROBLEM BECAME MORE PRONOUNCED AND MORE PRONOUNCED AS TIME WENT ON. I HAD NUMEROUS VERY CLOSE CALLS WITH THIS TRUCK INVOLVING BUILDINGS, TREES AND OTHER VEHICLES. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM OVER A TWO WEEK PERIOD. I FINALLY TOOK IT TO BOWSER GMC IN PLEASANT HILLS PA. THEY REPAIRED THE TRUCK BY REPLACING THE FRONT HUBS AND SENSORS. WITH THIS REPAIR AND THE PREVIOUS COMPLETE BRAKE JOB INCLUDING BRAKES AND ROTORS THIS EPISODE COST MORE THAN $1400. AT THE TIME THE TRUCK HAD 36,000 MILES ON IT. ON 7/20/05 I BEGAN TO NOTICE THE BRAKE CHATTER RETURNING. JUST A SLIGHT CHATTER COMING TO A STOP AT RED LIGHTS ON INCLINES, THEN ON THE LEVEL AND FINALLY ON 7/23/05 I ALMOST CRASHED INTO MY HOUSE AS I PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY. THE SAME PROBLEM HAD RETURNED, THE TRUCK NOW HAS 47,000 MILES. IT APPEARS THAT MY $800 HUB REPLACEMENT WAS DONE WITH THE SAME FAULTY HUB ASSEMBLY. THE SAME PROBLEM HAS RETURNED ONLY IN LESS TIME. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WITH THE BRAKES ON THIS TRUCK, I JUST RECENTLY AT 46,000 MILES HAD TO HAVE THE REAR ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED DUE TO RUSTED BRAKE PARTS. SO OVER THE COURSE OF 5 YEARS I HAVE REPLACED 6 BRAKE ROTORS, 6 SETS OF PADS, TWO HUBS AND TWO SENSOR ASSEMBLIES. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS WITH THIS TRUCK COMING WITHIN INCHES OF CRASHING INTO BUILDINGS AND OTHER CARS. AT TIMES I HAVE HAD TO THROW THE VEHICLE INTO PARK TO STOP FROM HITTING SOMETHING. I HAVE NO OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND I AM DISGUSTED THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM SINCE I FIRST REPORTED IT IN 2002. THE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER FOR THIS TRUCK IS PE05020. *NM UPDATED 07/19/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
