MY DAUGHTER WAS ACCELERATING TO ENTER THE ON-RAMP ON THE INTERSTATE. THE GAS PEDAL STUCK WHEN SHE ACCELERATED AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO SLOW HER CAR DOWN. SHE WAS FORCED TO MANEUVER THROUGH TRAFFIC AND HAD TO EXIT AT THE NEXT RAMP BECAUSE SHE COULD NOT GET AROUND VEHICLES ON THE INTERSTATE. SHE STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND TRIED TO TAP THE GAS PEDAL LIGHTLY TO SEE IF IT WOULD COME UNSTUCK. AT SOME POINT WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY THE GAS PEDAL CAME UNSTUCK, AND THANKFULLY SHE MANAGED TO STOP HER VEHICLE SAFELY WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. SHE IS CONCERNED THAT THIS PROBLEM MAY OCCUR AGAIN AND SHE MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY THE NEXT TIME.

TURNING THE WHEEL WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE COLUMN BROKE LOOSE AND A BROKEN PIECE OF METAL RETAINER RING OF SOME KIND DROPPED TO THE FLOOR.

COBALT IS LEAKING FUEL BEHIND THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL. LEAK WAS NOTICED WHEN VEHICLE WAS PARKED FUEL IS VISIBLY DRIPPING AND THE SMELL OF FUEL OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE IS STRONG. FUEL CAN ALSO BE SMELLED IN THE VEHICLE AS WELL.

WHILE RUNNING CAR DISPLAYS POWER STEERING NOTIFICATION. DASH BOARD LIGHTS UP, CAR JERKS HARD WHILE DRIVING, LOSES POWER, BRAKES MAKE CLICK IN SOUNDS AND DON'T WORKWELL. ONLY DRIVEN ON CITY STREET SO FAR.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR IN THE CITY STREET WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR WHEN I START HEARING CLICK SOUND THAN I HEAR BELL SOUND COME FROM THE CAR. THE CAR WOULDN'T GO ANY FASTER THAN 40 MILE HR & THE GAUGES WERE JUMPING ALL OVER THE PLACE. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR THEN THE WORDS "POWER STEERING" CAME ON WHERE MY MILEAGE WOULD SHOW. ALL OF THE RECALLS HAVE BEEN REPAIRED AND SOMETHING STILL WRONG WITH THIS CAR. I ASKED GM TO TAKE LOOK AT THE CAR WITHOUT CHARGING(MONEY) TO SEE IF IT IS RELATIVE TO THE RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULDN'T TELL IF THEY WOULD CHARGED ME MONEY OR NOT.
