STEERING IS NOT WORKING ESPECIALLY A SLOWER SPEEDS. VERY HARD TO TURN AT TIMES AND IS MAKING SORT OF GRINDING NOISE OR CLUNKING NOISE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND AM CONCERNED THAT THE STEERING MAY FAIL ALL TOGETHER. HAVE SEEN MANY COBALT'S RECALLED FOR STEERING DEFECTS. I LOOKED UP MY VIN #, BUT IT IS NOT LISTED FOR RECALL. HOW CAN THIS ISSUE BE ADDRESSED SO THAT MY 2010 COLBALT IS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THIS IS SERIOUS. THANK YOU.

WHEN IM DRIVING TO WORK AND CAR IS IN MOTION ALL LIGHTS DIM, ALL 4 LOCK FLICKER OFF AND ON WHILE IM DRIVING AND CAR IS IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY. SOMETIMES THE LOCK OPEN OTHER TIMES THEY DON'T WORK WITH THE CAR REMOTE. THE HEADLIGHTS WILL COME ON BY THEM SELF EVEN AFTER I SHUT THE CAR OFF. THE CAR WILL UNLOCK EVEN AFTER I LOCK IT EITHER WILTH REMOTE OR MANUALLY. CHEVY DEALERSHIP HAD A RECALL ON THIS CAR AND I DID TAKE IT FOR UPDATES. I REALIZE THIS IS A 2010, BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY CAR SINCE 2011. ONCE THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM IT WAS OK, BUT HERE WE GO AGAIN. I TELL ME HUSBAND IM AFRAID TO GET INTO CHRISTINE. I WOULD LIKE THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THIS AT THEIR EXPENSE. I DON'T THINK I WILL BUY ANOTHER CHEVY WHEN I SEE HOW MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS ARE WRITTEN ONLINE.

THE BRAKE LIGHTS REMAIN ON EVERYTIME I DRIVE. THEY ARE INTERMITTENT. THEY WILL STAY ON FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME AND THEN THEY WILL TURN OFF ONLY TO COME BACK AGAIN. I HAVE GONE TO CHEVY DEALERS, PEPBOYS, AND LOCAL MECHANICS AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIX OR SOLVE THE ISSUE PERMANENTLY. THEY HAVE "FIXED" THE BRAKE SENSORS, REPROGRAMMED THE CAR, AND HAVE DONE SOME OTHER THINGS, YET NO ONE CAN FIX THE ISSUE. WHAT A HORRIBLE COMPANY THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER 3 1/2 YEARS

GAS LEAKING FROM GAS LINE BELOW REAR PASSENGER SEAT ON DRIVERS SIDE I EXAMINED THE AREA AND FIND GAS LINES ARE CORRODED

HOWEVER, GENERAL MOTORS HAS NOT ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE AFFECTED VEHICLES.

FUEL LINES RUSTED BY PASSENGER REAR DOOR CAUSING FUEL TO LEAK OUT ON THE GROUND AND ON THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. LINES WERE RUSTING DUE TO THE SHIELD AROUND THE MUFFLER ALLOWING MOISTURE TO SIT. MY 2005 CHEVY COBALT DID THE SAMETHING..
