I AM JUST TRYING TO FIND OUT WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. I WENT TO MY DEALER, BOB HOOK CHEVROLET, ON APRIL 22, 2014 AND THEY ORDERED PARTS FOR MY THIRD AND FOURTH RECALL. I HAVE ALSO RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES FROM GM. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS TAKING SO LONG TO GET THESE PARTS? ARE THEY WAITING FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN? *TR

I HAVE BEEN WAITING SEVERAL MONTHS FOR PARTS TO REPAIR MY 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT IGNITION SWITCH. MEANWHILE, I AM DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WHICH HAS BEEN UNSAFE FOR YEARS UNTO MY KNOWLEDGE. I FEEL AS THOUGH GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD COMPENSATE OWNERS WHO HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THESE UNSAFE VEHICLES AND WAIT EXTREMELY LONG UNSAFE TIME PERIODS FOR RECALL REPAIRS TO BE MADE. KNOWING FOR 10 YEARS ABOUT THE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM AND DOING NOTHING IS SIMPLY CRAZY AND UNJUST. *TR

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED WITH APPROX. 43,000 MILES IN 2010, AND PAID FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT DIDN'T TEST ALL FUNCTIONS OF POWER WINDOWS, ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WORKED . I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS FOR MONTHS BECAUSE I SELDOM HAVE OTHERS IN MY CAR. ON JULY 18TH 2014,THE DRIVERS WINDOW WOULD NOT WORK. I HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT THE OTHER WINDOWS, BUT THOUGH I MIGHT HAVE PROBLEMS WITH SAFETY LOCKS .I HAD ALREADY CALLED ABOUT THE RECALL THAT I SAW ON TV, AND WAS TOLD THAT PART WAS NOT AT DEALERS, AND WOULD BE CALLED WHEN THEY GOT THE PARTS. I WAS TOLD I WOULD BE CHARGED FOR ANY REPAIRS TO WINDOWS AS MY EXTRA WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I THOUGHT WARRANTY WAS FOR 90,000 MILES, I DID TALK TO MANAGER, AND TOLD HIM I HAD C/O NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT THE 3 NON WORKING WINDOWS.AT THE SAME TIME DRIVERS WINDOW QUIT, THE LIGHT ON ODOMETER QUIT WORKING.I DID HAVE CAR TO JUMP, AND KEEP RUNNING AFTER TURNING OFF CAR, THEY DID FIX WITH IGNITION KIT. CONTINUED TO CALL TO SEE IF RECALLED PART WAS IN AND WAS TOLD I COULD PAY FOR EXAM ON WINDOWS ON WINDOWS AT THE SAME TIME. *TR

VERY STRONG ODOR OF GAS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CAR WHEN SITTING STILL. I PUT THE CAR ON RAMPS AND FOUND OUT THERE IS A GAS LEAK COMING FROM THE GAS TANK AREA. I LOOKED UP ONLINE AND THE RECALL FOR THIS CAR, REGARDING THE SAME RECALL FOR OTHER CARS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL, ISN'T INCLUDED. THE GAS LEAK IS VERY CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IN THIS CAR. THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM OTHER CARS OF THIS MAKE BEING RECALLED IS THE SAME PROBLEM THIS CAR IS EXPERIENCING. *TR
