2010 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V153000 (STEERING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 78,000.

I HAVE OWNED A 2010 CHEVY COBALT SINCE 2012. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. THE POWER LOCKS ERRATICALLY LOCK AND UNLOCK. THE WINDOWS WILL BECOME JAMMED AND SUDDENLY WILL NOT ROLL BACK UP. CRUISE CONTROL WILL RANDOMLY STOP WORKING. I HAD ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION WHICH COST ME OVER $3,000 TO FIX. THEN, THERE WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL WHICH THE DEALER FIXED AT NO COST. BUT NOW I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER STEERING. I HAVE TO TURN MY IGNITION OFF AND ON FOR THE POWER STEERING WARNING MESSAGE TO TURN OFF BUT THEN IT TURNS BACK ON A FEW MINUTES LATER. I AM AWARE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING BUT YET THE DEALER REFUSES TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH MY CAR BECAUSE THEY SAY THAT RECALL WAS PERFORMED BY A PREVIOUS OWNER. THE NHTSA WEBSITE STATES BULLETIN 14115 REGARDING POWER STEERING RECALL BEGAN JULY 17, 2014. MIND YOU I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE 2012 AND HAVE NOT HAD THE POWER STEERING RECALL ISSUES FIXED. N140115 ALSO STATES THAT IT INCLUDES "2010 CHEVY COBALT AND VEHICLES REPAIRED IN RECALL 10V-073 THAT RECEIVED REPAIRS PRIOR TO MAY 31, 2010." THEREFORE, THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE OR PROVIDE ME WITH A CAR THAT IS SAFE. THE FIRST TIME MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT I WAS ON A FREEWAY ON RAMP WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. I COULD HAVE DIED! THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE AND I SINCERELY BELIEVE THIS IS A LEMON CAR. *TR

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS NO TURN SIGNAL SOUND INDICATING THE TURN SIGNAL WAS IN USE. AT THE SAME TIME I ALSO NOTICED THAT ALL OF THE WARNING INDICATOR SOUNDS WERE ALSO NOT WORKING (SET BELT, DOOR OPEN WITH KEY IN, LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ECT) NONE OF THE WARNING SOUNDS ARE NOW WORKING. IT SEEMS THAT THE LEFT FRONT SPEAKER IS USED FOR THE TRANSMITTING OF THE WARNING SOUNDS THUS THERE IS NO SOUND FROM THE LEFT SPEAKER. NONE THE LESS I FEEL THAT WITH THE WARNING SOUNDS NOT WORKING THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. EVERYTIME I START MY CAR THE SVC LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME , MY TIRES ARE ALWAYS WOBBLY WHILE SLOWING DOWN AND DRIVING. SAME AS I HAVE HEARD FROM OTHERS. GOT IN A HIT AND RUN IF I HAVE SIDE AIR BAGS THEY DIDNT GEPLOY

1. CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGES ON IT'S OWN AND LUNGES FORWARD, EVEN IN TRAFFIC AT 10 MPH SPEED. 2. SEAT BELT ON DRIVERS SEAT, WHILE STATIONARY,DOESN'T RELEASE EASILY AND TAKES ABOUT 30-45 SECONDS AT TIMES TO RELEASE. 3.WHILE ON THE ROAD DRIVING, THE CAR DISPLAYED ALL THE INFORMATION ON THE DASH, SUCH AS; TIRE PRESSURE, OIL LIFE, MILEAGE, ETC., THEN THE CAR'S SPEED REDUCES AND IT FLASHES WORDS "POWER STEERING" AND THEN THE CAR DIED IN TRAFFIC AND I WAS ALMOST HIT FROM BEHIND BEFORE I COULD GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK AND BE TAKEN TO CHEVY DEALER AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY, 5/29/2016 AND I HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR IN STORE PARKING LOT FOR FOUR HOURS AND THEN IT STARTED, DROVE 5 MILES HOME AND WENT OUT AGAIN RIGHT BEFORE I PULLED INTO DRIVEWAY. 4. WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I ENGAGED THE BRAKES AND THEY BARELY STOPPED ME AND BRAKES PADS ARE GOOD ON CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT WAS LOCKED AND COULD NO LONGER BE USED. THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WHILE DRIVING AT 55MPH ON CA HWY 111, THE ENGINE JUST SHUT OFF. I WAS IN BUSY FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAD NOT CHANGED ANYTHING NOR DID I HAVE MORE THAN A SINGLE KEY ON THE KEY RING.

THE DRIVER'S DOOR SPEAKER HAS STOPPED WORKING. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM REPORTED ON CHEVY FORUMS FOR ALL MODEL YEAR COBALTS. THIS PROBLEM CREATES SAFETY CONCERNS AS ALL VEHICLE WARNING CHIMES AND SOUNDS ARE DIRECTED TO THE SPEAKER ON THIS DOOR AND ARE NOW NON-FUNCTIONAL. PARTICULAR CONCERN IS THAT THE TURN SIGNAL MAKE NO SOUND WHEN ACTIVATED. THIS CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT WHEN NO WARNING SOUND IS GENERATED WHEN A DRIVER UNINTENTIONALLY LEAVES A TURN SIGNAL ACTIVATED. THIS WAS REPORT TO CHEVY (REF. 8-2076604032), BUT IT DOES NOT APPEAR THEY WILL BE ISSUING A RECALL.

WHEN I GOT TO RED LIGHT TONIGHT 4/29/2016, CAR STARTED JERKING AS IF IT WILL CUT OFF. SCARY DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO.DONT HAVE MONEY FOR EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. HELP.
