2007 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

IT STARTED OUT OF NO WHERE A WARNING OF POWER STEERING PROBLEMS APPEARED AND THE STEERING GOES OUT. WHEN IT HAPPENS I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF AND THEN THE PROBLEM IS FIXED FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN IT HAPPENS AROUND EVERY 20-30 MIN. ITS DANGEROUS BECAUSE AT TIMES IM NOT ABLE TO FINISH A TURN AND I GET STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. *TR

THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS, WHILE I AM DRIVING AND HAPPENED TO ALMOST COLLIDE INTO A PASSING VEHICLE ON THE LANE NEXT TO ME. IT HAPPENS WITHIN 5-10 MIN. AFTER I TURN ON THE CHEVY COBALT 2007. IT OCCURS EVERY SINGLE TIME I INTEND TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN USE FOR I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AND I AM AFRAID AN ACCIDENT WILL OCCUR. I HAVE NOT YET CHANGED THE PART BUT THE MECHANIC AT THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE MOTOR FOR THE STEERING WHEEL PUMP. I WILL BE CHANGING THE PART AND I WILL HOLD ON TO THE FACTORY PART. *TR

MY 2007 CHEVY COBALT HAD A STRONG SMELL OF GAS AND I FOUND A PUDDLE OF GAS UNDERNEATH THE CAR. I TOOK THIS CAR TO A CHEVROLET DEALER AND THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE ASSEMBLY FAILED.

I PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT IN 2006 , THEY SOLD ME THE VEHICLE THAT THEY USED FOR TEST DRIVING, WHICH I TOLD THEM WAS OUT OF LINE AND THEY STILL MADE ME PURCHASE IT. I BOUGHT IT BACK A WEEK LATER AND THEY HAD TO LINE IT UP BECAUSE IT WAS ALL OVER THE ROAD. A MONTH LATER, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT TURN, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME I HAD TO PAY $1200.00 TO GET IT FIXED UNTIL I NOTIFIED THE DISTRICT MANAGER AND HE MADE THEM FIX IT.THEN THE SECURITY AIR BAG LIGHT STAYED ON AND IT WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION AND THEY TRIED TO MAKE ME PAY FOR THAT. I HAVE BEEN SPENDING MONEY ON TIRES ALL THE TIME, SPEND MONEY ON BRAKES ALL THE TIME, HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL UNITS TO THE RADIO KEEPS GOING OUT, BEARINGS IN THE WHEEL IS GONE, AND IT KEEPS CUTTING OFF. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. I GOT A LETTER FOR THE RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING AND WHEN I GOT MY CAR BACK, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON, THEY MESSED UP MY BOOT AND NOW TELLING ME I NEED TO FIX IT WHEN THEY HAD SOMEONE TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR 12 MILES. NOW ALL I GET IS A LOT OF DISRESPECT FROMTHEM AND THEY DON'T WANT TO REPAIR WHAT THEY MESSED UP. I ALSO WANTED TO PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR LAST MONTH FOR MY SON WHO GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE AND I HAD TO LOOK THROUGH THE WINDOWS TO SEE VEHICLES INSTEAD OF THE SALESMAN OPENING THE DOOR AND LETTING ME LOOK IN THE INSIDE. MIND YOU I BOUGHT A 16,000.00 CAR FROM THEY AND THAT'S HOW THEY APPRECIATE MY BUSINESS. I AM HEART BROKEN BECAUSE I FEEL AS IF I WAS ROBBED OF MY MONEY. I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GIVEN A CAR THAT THEY USE FOR TEST DRIVING. ALSO THE SECURITY AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF AND THEY WOULD NOT LET IT PASS INSPECTION. *TR
