AND THERE SAYING IT WAS REPLACED ONCE AND NOW ITS MINE SOUNDS LIKE THE RECALL WAS A JOKE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY AND THE POWER STEERING GAVE A WARNING WITH A SOUND SUDDENLY THE STEERING WAS HARD TO MOVE AND I HAVE TO REDUCE THE SPEED BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID TO CRASH WITH THIS PROBLEM. I PARK THE CAR AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND TURN IT ON AGAIN, BUT AFTER 2MINUTES DRIVING IT THE POWER STEERING ONCE AGAIN STOP WORKING. I DECIDED TO GO TO THE DEQALER AND LEFT THE CAR TELLING THEM THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING.THEY TOOK THE CAR AND AFTER TWO DAYS THEY SAID THAT THE CAR WASNT INCLUDE IT IN THE RECALL. NOW I HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND MAKING PAYMENT AND IN TOP OF THAT WITH A BROKEN CAR. GM NEED TO STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBLITY FOR WHAT THEY MAKE.YEAR 2010 AND ALREADY GIVING A LOT OF TROUBLES. ALSO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUHT THE CAR DIDNT SAID NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. UNITED AUTO SALE FROM NEW HARTFORD,NY NEED TO BE MORE HONEST WHEN THEY WANT TO SALE A CAR WITH MANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS.THEY ONLY CARE TO SELL YOU A CAR AND NOTHING ELSE. ALSO GM NEED TO STOP MAKING CAR WITH SO MANY RECALL LIKE THIS ONE OR FIX THE RECALL AND MOVE ON. IM SPEAKING ALSO FOR MANY PEOPLE WHO ENCOUNTER THE SAME PROBLEM LIKE ME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AS THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING MOTOR WAS OVERLOADING. THE DEALER HAD NOT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE WHEN HE PROVIDED A DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 10V073000 (STEERING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,100 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 41,153.

DRIVING IN THE RIGHT LANE ON THE NORTH WAY AT 62 MPH. VAN IN MIDDLE LANE APPROACHED MY LANE TO WHERE I WAS FORCED TO MOVE OVER CATCHING RUMBLE STRIPS AND THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS CAUSED MY VEHICLE TO ROLL SEVERAL TIMES, DURING THIS ROLL OVER, NOT ONE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. WE WERE TRAPPED IN THE CAR HAVING THE FIRE RESCUE TO FORCIBLY OPEN OUR DOORS. THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY WIPED OUT. ALL WINDOWS IMPLODED, MINUS THE PASSENGER BACK WINDOW. INJURIES INCLUDED A BROKEN NECK, FINGER, GLASS EMBEDDED THROUGH OUT THE SKIN AND MANY CUTS WITH THE SEAT BELT AND GLASS, ABRASIONS AND BRUISES. THIS CAR WAS IN BRAND NEW CONDITION.

WHILE DRIVING ONE'S VEHICLE THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WE IT WANTS TO. IN ADDITION, CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

THE ISSUE BEGAN ON 7/18/13 AND HAS CONTINUED EVERY DAY SINCE. THE VEHICLE IS IN FOR REPAIR TODAY AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND WILL COST ME $435.00. I HAVE A OPEN CASE WITH GM TO GET REIMBURSEMENT. THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE AS IN RECALL NUMBER N100023. LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST IN MY 2010 CHEVY COBALT. THE LOSS HAPPENS EACH TIME I DRIVE AT VARIOUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING. COULD BE WITHIN THE FIRST MILE OR AFTER 10 MILES. I HEAR THE WARNING CHIME AND THE DISPLAY STATES "POWER STEERING". ONCE THE CAR IS SHUT OFF IT RESETS AND WORKS FOR A SHORT TIME THE NEXT DRIVE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET IN A COUPLE F ACCIDENTS. I THINK CHEVY MIGHT HAVE MISSED SOME VEHICLES IN THEIR RECALL. THEY HAVE MY CASE OPEN FOR REVIEW. CASE# [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

NEXT DAY, SAME THING WHEN I WAS DRIVING. I SHUT DOWN THE CAR, RESTARTED, AND IT WAS FINE. NEXT DAY SAME THING. DEALER WAS CONTACTED, NO RECALL FOR OUR VIN. MFG DATE WAS FEB. 2010; RECALL WAS MARCH 3, 2010. CALLED CHEVY, CASE FILE: 71-1197613449 BUT NO INTEREST FROM THEM. CALLED DEALER, AND WE WERE STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO CAR WAS REPAIRED NO COST.
