2006 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

I WAS DRIVING AND I PULLED OVER TO A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL.... I WALKED AROUND MY CAR, TIGHTENED MY GAS CAP. EVEN REPLACED. AND NOW FUEL IS POURING OUT ON MY DRIVERS SIDE THROUGH ONE OF THE LINES. NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. BUT IS VERY HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE WITH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD AND EXPERIENCED VIOLENT SHAKING WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH. THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 87,000.

ALARM SOUNDS EVERY TIME DOOR IS OPENED. IT DOESN'T STOP UNTIL KEY IS PUT IN IGNITION AND TURNED. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER IT IS OPENED WITH THE FOB OR THE KEY. LOCKS ALSO RANDOMLY LOCK AND UNLOCK. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL ON THIS? THIS APPARENTLY IS A PROBLEM IN THIS MAKE OF CAR.

LEAKING FUEL.. EXTREMELY STRONG FUEL SMELL. HAPPENS WHETHER IN MOTION OR WHILE DRIVING

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT SPEED IT CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AFTER TAKING FOOT OFF GAS. THE DOORS ALSO STARTED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK AND EVERY LIGHT POSSIBLE ON THE DASH CAME ON. SPEEDOMETER READ ZERO EVEN THOUGHT STILL MOVING.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING ABOUT 38 MPH AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING BEEPED AND DISPLAYED ON MY DASH. THE STEERING TIGHTENED UP A BIT, AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN, AS I WAS DRIVING (I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CAR SLOWED DOWN TO BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER THEN DROPPED TO ZERO, BUT THE TACHOMETER CONTINUED TO REV (I WANT TO SAY) BETWEEN 2 & 3 RPM, WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL IN MOTION. THE LOCKS WERE CLICKING UP AND DOWN TOO WHILE THIS WAS ALL HAPPENING. THEN THE CAR BUCKED AND THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN WORKING. THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT REMAINED LIT DURING THE WHOLE TIME. I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT FOR SAFETY. THIS WAS CLEARLY A DRIVING SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE VEHICLE SLOWING DOWN WHEN THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THERE WERE OTHER AFFECTED PARTS, BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO SELECT THE BOXES: ELECTRICAL; OTHER (SPEEDOMETER) THIS ALSO HAPPENED TODAY: 07/10/16, PROMPTING ANOTHER COMPLAINT TO BE FILED.

WHILE DRIVING MY 06 CHEVY COBALT, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON AND BLINKS CONTINUALLY AND MY STEERING WHEEL WILL BEGIN TO SHAKE. THE RECALL WAS CALLED AND MY CAR WAS SERVICED SO WHY IS THIS ISSUE HAPPENING AGAIN? IT'LL GO OFF FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND COME BACK ON. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX THIS, CHEVY NEEDS TO FIX THIS, ONCE AGAIN.
