2009 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

HTTP://WWW.USATODAY.COM/STORY/MONEY/CARS/2014/03/31/GM-RECALL-STEERING/7127117/ THIS RECALL COVERS 2010 BUT I HAD A POWER STEERING REPLACEMENT IN JANUARY 2011 FROM A 2010 RECALL HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/RECALLS/RECALLRESULTS.CFM?START=1&SEARCHTYPE=QUICKSEARCH&RCL_ID=10V073000 THE NEW RECALL ONLY INDICATES 2010 AND "SOME PREVIOUSLY RECALLED VEHICLES" I TOOK MY CAR IN EARLY MAY TO MY DEALERSHIP, PAT O'BRIEN CHEVROLET IN WESTLAKE, OH FOR THEM TO FIX THE CURRENT IGNITION RECALL AND MADE MENTION OF THE POWER STEERING BEING THE MAIN ISSUE. THE TIMING OF THE OTHER RECALL WAS PURELY COINCIDENTAL. WHEN I CAME TO PICK UP MY CAR I WAS TOLD THEY'VE "HEARD OF ISSUES BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN OFFICIAL SO THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO." SO, HERE I AM TRYING TO GET THIS PROCESS GOING. THERE'S NO WAY I'M THE ONLY ONE AFFECTED AT THIS POINT. *TR

I FEEL THAT FOR A RECALL THAT HAS CAUSED SEVERAL DEATHS, GM SHOULD BE GETTING THE REPLACEMENT PARTS IN QUICKER. IT TOOK THEM OVER A MONTH TO EVEN NOTIFY ME OF THE RECALL, AND WHEN I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP TO SCHEDULE THE APPOINTMENT THEY SAID IT WOULD BE ANOTHER 1-2 MONTHS BEFORE THEY COULD GET THE PART IN. IT HAS NOW BEEN NEARLY A MONTH AND IT'S NOT THERE YET. I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING A CAR THAT I KNOW COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE MY DEATH. IT TOOK THEM ALL THESE YEARS TO EVEN ADMIT TO THE PROBLEM, LET ALONE ALL THIS ADDITIONAL TIME TO GET THE PARTS IN AND THE RECALLS COMPLETED. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, IT'S A MINOR PART AND DOESN'T TAKE THAT LONG TO FIX THEM. I'M NOT VERY HAPPY RIGHT NOW. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE NEXT WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11TH, AND WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HAVE THIS RECALL TAKEN CARE OF AT THE SAME TIME TO EASE MY CONCERNS. I HAVE TO WONDER HOW MANY MORE WILL BE KILLED BEFORE THESE RECALLS ARE ACTUALLY COMPLETED. *TR
