2010 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

ON 4 OCCASIONS THE STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND LOCKED UP. THREE OF THE FOUR TIMES WAS WHEN VEHICLE WAS MOVING IN A BUSY SHOPPING AREA. IN ORDER TO REGAIN STEERING THE CAR WOULD HAVE TO BE STOPPED SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED. AFTER EACH INCIDENT THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED AND VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN. THE STEERING COLUMN WAS REPLACED AND CAR RETURNED TO US. AT THE PRESENT TIME THE CAR IS AT DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME ISSUE THE STEERING LOCKING UP WHILE MOVING. THE CAR REMAINS AT DEALERSHIP AND WE NOTIFIED GM OF THE SITUATION WE RECEIVED A CASE NUMBER, SENIOR ADVISOR AND WERE TOLD TO KEEP LENDER AND THEY WOULD BE REACHING OUT TO DEALERSHIP. AS OF THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT RESPONDED TO GM EMAIL AND WE HAVE NOT HEARD FROM DEALERSHIP OR GM ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE CAR. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS VERY DANGEROUS AND STRESSFUL ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES AND DO NOT BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE AND NO LONGER WANT OUR LIVES PUT IN DANGER.

IN THE FALL OF 2015 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.

REAR BRAKES MAKING LOTS OF NOISE, AND ARE CRAP. THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE ALOT MORE RECALLS. STOP LETTING GM SCREW US HARD WORKING PEOPLE! MY CAR IS MOVING WHEN I HEAR THE NOISES, MY BRAKE PADS ARE NEW SO THIS IS NOT THE PROBLEM.

STARTING IN 12/15, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY, THEN ALSO THE ABS LIGHT. PER MECHANIC ADVICE, I HAD A WHEEL BEARING REPLACED. AFTER THAT, LIGHTS WERE OFF, THEN BEGAN AGAIN SEVERAL DAYS LATER. MY MECHANIC SAID I SHOULD REPLACE THE OPPOSITE BEARING TO EVEN OUT THE TRACTION SENSOR. 1/21/16 I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL, TAPPED THE BRAKE, FELT SOMETHING LOCK UP IN THE FRONT END AND CAREENED ACROSS THE ROAD INTO SOME TREES. I ASKED MY INSURANCE CO ABOUT THIS, AND NOTIFIED CHEVY TOO. NOBODY SEEMED INTERESTED IN PURSUING THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT- TOTALED THE CAR. THANK GOD I WASN'T HURT BADLY AND NOBODY ELSE WAS INVOLVED. I KNOW THEY DON'T WANT TO BOTHER WITH ME BECAUSE I AM SMALL POTATOES. I FEEL I SHOULD AT VERY LEAST BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS I HAD DONE AND PAY FOR MY NEW (USED) VEHICLE FOR MY TROUBLE. I THINK MY DRIVING RECORD, MY FAMILIARITY WITH THE ROAD AND THE KNOWLEDGE MY MECHANIC HAS OF MY PROBLEM PLUS THE FACT THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AS I SAW ON LINE SHOULD PROVIDE ME SOME HELP.
