MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER CAR A 2006 CHEVY COBALT LS ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS TURNED ON AS IF IT WAS BEING TURNED ON FROM A COLD START. THE CAR STARTED TO BUCKLE IN THE MESSAGE BOARD STARTED TO SAY POWER STEERING. SHE LOST POWER STEERING AND HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP. I CHECKED THE CAR THAT AFTERNOON AND NOTHING SEEMED FINE THEN ON A SATURDAY AFTERNOON IT DID THE SAME THING TO ME. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC TO BE SCANNED AND THE CODE U0073 POPPED UP WHICH IS THE CONTROL MODULE BUS ( COMMUNICATION BUSS WAS OFF). THE TRANSMISSION HAS NOT BEEN SHIFTING RIGHT, HARD, ROUGH SHIFTS ARE BEING DONE. THE IDLE DROPS AND RAISES AUTOMATICALLY. MY DOOR LOCK FOR HE DRIVER SIDE DOES NOT OPEN AS WELL. THIS IS REALLY UNSAFE. *TR
