2010 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF AND ON (MULTIPLE TIMES) WHICH AFFECTS THE FUEL AND RPM GAUGES, LOSS OF ALL POWER STEERING, ALL ELECTRICAL STARTS GOING CRAZY (LOCKS AND UNLOCKS THE DOORS), STARTS FLASHING "LOW FUEL" AND "POWER STEERING" WARNINGS AND THEN CAR WILL GO INTO COMPLETE LOCK MODE. AS OF 4/30: HAS BEEN FIXED UNDER THE RECALL ISSUE, HOWEVER VEHICLE IS STILL HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. *JS

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70MPH AN ALARM WENT OFF AND THE DASH INFORMATION BOARD FLASHED THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS OUT. WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART, THE POWER STEERING WORKS AGAIN. BACK IN 2012, IT MAY WORK FOR 30 MINUTES. THAT LASTED A FEW WEEKS. NOW THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT IN 30 SECONDS. I CHECKED IN 2012 AND THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING. I TRIED TO GET THE CAR INSPECTED TODAY AND IT FAILED BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF POWER STEERING. I CHECKED AGAIN WITH CHEVY AND IT STILL IS NOT RECALLED EVEN THOUGH MOST COBALTS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS FAILURE. I DON'T KNOW WHY MINE ISN'T ON THE LIST. I CAN'T GET THE CAR INSPECTED AND PARTS ARE HARD TO COME BY BECAUSE OF THE RECALL. *JS

MY CAR IS LEAKING GAS SOMEWHERE, SMELLS ARE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR & BACKSEAT AREA. FUEL IS BEING USED UP FASTER THAN NORMAL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED AND MADE THE STEERING WHEEL EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER.

I WAS DRIVING MY CHEVY COBALT 2010 WHEN I LOST MY POWER STEERING IN AUGUST 2013. ALTHOUGH THIS WAS FIXED DURING THE 2010 RECALL, ANOTHER FAULTY PART WAS INSTALLED IN MY CAR AND I LOST MY POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING THREE YEARS LATER. ****MY SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT GM IS NOT INCLUDING ALL CHEVY COBALTS 2010 FOR THE STEERING ASSIST MOTOR AND STEERING COLUMN.**** THEY ARE INCLUDING "SOME" MODELS ASSUMING THAT THE CARS THEY FIXED IN 2010 HAVE SAFE PARTS. THAT IS NOT TRUE. THERE ARE NUMEROUS PEOPLE THAT HAD HAD THESE PARTS FAIL AFTER THE 2010 RECALL. PLEASE SEE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALSO HAD THIS ISSUE AFTER THE RECALL.

HELLO. MY 2010 CHEVY COBALT HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH SERVICE AIR BAG ISSUES FOR A LONG TIME. MY CONCERN THE IGNITION SWITCH IS ONLY A SMOKE SCREEN COMPARED TO THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW WHEN THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON, THE AIR BAGS SYSTEM WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED. I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED A COUPLE TIMES AND INVESTED OVER $700.00 TO HAVE IT FIXED AND IT IS STILL BROKEN. I WAS TOLD THEY KNOW ABOUT A FAULTY DESIGN WITH THE MAIN COM WIRE THAT GOES UNDER THE CARPET AND PASSENGER SEAT TO THE AIR BAG CONTROL BOX TO BREAK THUS RENDERING THE SYSTEM FAULT. THEY REPLACED SEVERAL PARTS IN MY STEERING WHEEL AND IT WORKED FOR A LITTLE WHILE BUT CAME BACK. NOW MY CRUISE CONTROL IS ALSO BROKEN ALONG WITH THE FAULTY AIR BAG SYSTEM. *TT

DRIVING ON FREEWAY THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND LOSS OF POWER STEERING. DIFFICULT TO DRIVE . HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF EVER SINCE. NO RECALL FOR MY VIN NUMBER BUT I HAVE READ LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH POWER STEERING ON THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. *TT

STEERING WHEEL MAKES A LOT SQUEAKING NOISES AND CRUNCHING SOUNDS WHEN I TURN OR AM GOING OVER ROUGH PAVMENT. *JS
