2007 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

I HAVE AN 07 CHEVY COBALT. I'VE BEEN READING ONLINE ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING GOING OUT ON PEOPLE, AND I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, FOR I WILL BE DRIVING ALONG ON MY WAY TO SCHOOL OR WORK AND THE STEERING ESSENTIALLY SHUTS OFF, AND IS SO HARD TO STEER THAT A STRONG 185-POUND MAN, SUCH AS MYSELF, CAN BARELY MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH ON THE FREEWAY AND ON NORMAL ROADS. IT IS WORSE ON THE NORMAL ROADS, BECAUSE I CAN'T EVEN TURN OFF ONTO A PARKING LOT OR SIDE STREET TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN KNOWN ABOUT FOR YEARS NOW, AND CHEVY HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM (A FAULTY ELECTRONIC MOTOR THAT CHEVY ADMITS WEARS OUT AFTER A CERTAIN AMOUNT MILES, SO EVEN IF YOU TAKE IT TO GET IT FIXED IT WILL JUST GO OUT AGAIN) AND YOU PEOPLE HAVE NOT ENFORCED A RECALL. THIS PROBLEM IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT, AND ONE OF THESE DAYS SOMEONE IS GOING TO LOSE THEIR LIFE OR KILL SOMEONE ELSE BECAUSE OF THIS. I'VE BEEN READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS THAT OTHERS HAVE BEEN CONTACTING YOU PEOPLE ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND YET NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. FIX IT BEFORE I OR SOMEONE ELSE GETS KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS RIDICULOUS PIECE OF HARDWARE! *TR

POWER STEERING FAILURE, POWER STEERING LOCKS UP AND POWER STEERING FLASHES ON COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AFTER HEARING 3 DINGS. ALSO SMELL GAS IN CAR SMELL IS VERY HEAVY AT TIMES, THIS IS A 2007 CHEVY COBALT AND CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

THE POWERSTEERING GOES OUT ON MY 2007 CHEVY COBALT CREATING SOME SERIOUS SITUATIONS. THE STEERING CAN GO OUT AT ANY TIME UNDER ANY DRIVING CONDITIONS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO TN FROM FLORIDA ON I95 IN SC WHEN THE POWER STEERING ON MY 2007 CHEVY COBALT WENT OUT. I PULLED OFF AT EXIT 60 TO BUY POWER STEERING FLUID (THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM) TURNS OUT THE COBALT HAS ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING! ANYWAY, TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AS I COULDN'T JUST SIT AT THE EXIT FOREVER (IT WAS VERY LATE AT NITE). POWER STEERING WORKED FINE! BUT ONLY FOR A FEW MINUTES. IT WENT OUT AGAIN AFTER I GOT BACK ON I-95! SO I PULLED OVER AGAIN, TURNED THE CAR OFF THEN RESTARTED AND IT WORKED! BACK ON INTERSTATE, IT GOES OUT AGAIN! SO THIS WENT ON AND IS STILL THE CASE (IT IS NOW MONDAY AND I MADE IT BACK TO FLORIDA AFTER A VERY LONG DRIVE DUE TO NOT HAVING POWER STEERING AND NO CHOICE BUT TO COME HOME.) CALLED DEALERSHIP AND CHEVY CORPORATE AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND ARE NOT SURE THEY CAN TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE READ MANY BLOGS AND POSTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND FEEL IT SHOULD BE PLACED ON THE RECALL LIST AND TAKEN CARE OF BY CHEVY AND NOT THE CONSUMER! ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED AS I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR THIS VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. CHEVY SHOULD NOT BE PLACING SO MANY UNSAFE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. THANK YOU. *TR

2007 CHEVROLET COBALT LT HAS POWER STEERING PROBLEMS. MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER STEERING. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP AT THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND A LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHING BAD AND REPLACED THE BUSHING HOWEVER IT DID NOT FIX THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM. THE STEERING IS LOOSE AND FEELS LIKE PART OF THE STEERING MAY BREAK AT ANY TIME WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. THE RACK AND PINION THAT IS ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM IS AT FAULT AND HUNDREDS OR THOUSANDS OF OWNERS OF THESE CARS ARE HAVING DANGEROUS STEERING PROBLEMS. PLEASE HELP GM UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLES LIVES ARE ON THE LINE THAT DRIVE THESE CARS. I FEEL GM SHOULD HAVE A RECALL TO SAVE LIVES AND TAKE CARE OF THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVROLET COBALT. THANK YOU *TR

MY 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT POWER STEERING JUST DIE. IS THERE SOME KIND OF RECALL FOR THIS CAR? I WAS DRIVING ON A CURVED ROAD WHEN THE POWER STEERING SIGNAL CAME ON AND I HAD TO SLOW DOWN TOO FAST TO CONTROL THE CAR. I COULD HAD BEEN REAR ENDED... *TR

I PURCHASED A PREOWNED 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT TWO WEEKS AGO. THE POWER STEERING JUST TURNED OFF MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER. I HAVE BEEN DOING ALOT OF RESEARCH AND IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. IT ISN'T CHEAP TO FIX RANGING FROM 900 TO 2500. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOME GETS HURT OR PAYS THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE. *TR

WIRE TO REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER SHORTED OUT. CAUSED A FIRE TO THE REAR PASSENGERS QUARTER PANEL. BURNED CORNER OF ROOF, SEAT, AND BACK WINDOW. LUCKILY MY DAUGHTER WHO WAS DRIVING WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN WHEN FIRE BROKE OUT AND NO PASSENGERS IN THE BACK SEAT. *TR
