THE ENGINE TURNED OFF ALL BY ITSELF WHILE I WAS DRIVING AROUND A CORNER, CAUSING THE CAR TO GO OFF THE ROAD. I WAS GOING ABOUT 35 MPH, AND APPLIED THE BRAKES AS FAST AS I COULD, BUT THE CAR WENT UP AND OVER THE CURB, ACROSS THE SIDEWALK, AND BOTH FRONT TIRES WENT DOWN OFF THE STEEP EDGE OF THE SIDEWALK'S FAR SIDE INTO THE MUD. THE PART OF THE CAR BODY IMMEDIATELY BEHIND THE FRONT TIRES WAS ALMOST TOUCHING (WAY LESS THAN 1 INCH ABOVE) THE EDGE OF THE TOP / EDGE OF THE SIDEWALK. I COULDN'T REVERSE BACK UP AND OVER THE SIDEWALK EDGE. A TOW TRUCK WAS CALLED, AND PULLED THE CAR STRAIGHT BACK AND UP/OVER THE EDGE OF THE SIDEWALK AND ONTO THE ROAD. SOME SORT OF DUST COVER THING FROM UP INSIDE THE PASSENGER-SIDE WHEEL WELL HAD BEEN TORN LOOSE DURING THE CRASH OFF THE SIDEWALK EDGE AND WAS STILL LAYING IN THE MUD. AFTER I RESTARTED THE CAR AND DROVE HOME, THE STEERING / SUSPENSION (I CANNOT TELL WHICH) MADE A CREAKING AND GRINDING SORT OF NOISE WHEN TURNING, AND I COULD TELL FROM THE EXTENSIVE BOUNCING AT EVEN LITTLE BUMPS IN THE ROAD THAT BOTH FRONT STRUTS HAD BEEN DAMAGED. *TR

WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND SHIFTING INTO DRIVE, MY 2007 COBALT LOST POWER STEERING. A CHIME SOUNDED AND THE DASH LIT UP WITH AN ERROR MESSAGE ABOUT POWER STEERING FAILURE. I'VE PREVIOUSLY TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE RECALL FOR THE ASSISTED POWER STEERING REBUILD IN 2010, YET THE COMPONENT HAS FAILED AGAIN! GM WANTS ME TO PAY FOR A TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP AND PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. I WILL PAY FOR A TOW, BUT I WILL NOT PAY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THAT THE ASSISTED POWER STEERING HAS AGAIN FAILED. IF I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY FIND AN ERROR CODE INDICATING THAT THE ASSISTED POWER STEERING HAS FAILED, I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD NOT CHARGE ME AT ALL. FURTHERMORE, THEY SHOULD REPLACE - NOT REBUILD - THIS FAULTY, ILL CONCEIVED DEVICE THAT HAS SUCH POOR DESIGN. *TR

MY DAUGHTERS CAR CAUGHT FIRE. NO ONE SEEMS INTERESTED BECAUSE SHE MADE IT OUT ALIVE. I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH FINDING OUT WHO IS AT FAULT. I AM REQUESTING SOME ANSWERS. *TR

THERE ARE A LOT OF RECALLS ON THESE VEHICLES RIGHT NOW, EVERYTIME I CALL TO SEE IF MINE IS RECALLED FOR IGNITION TROUBLE THEY SAY NO. I WANT MINE REPLACED, AT GM'S EXPENSE. WE JUST HAD THE BLINKER SWITCH REPLACED AND THERE ARE TIMES THE IGNITION SEEMS STUCK. HOW CAN WE KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL WHEN WE PURCHASED USED? *TR

WHEN PARKING CAR I WAS UNABLE TO RETRIEVE KEY FROM MY IGNITION DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT PROPERLY SHIFT INTO PARK. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING MODERATELY FROM A STOP, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY DIED WHILE IN FIRST GEAR. I COASTED TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS TO ALERT OTHER MOTORISTS. EACH TIME I TRIED TO RESTART THE ENGINE, IT SPUTTERED AND SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND THEN DIED. I KEPT TRYING FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES AND ON ONE TRY THE ENGINE FINALLY STARTED AND STAYED RUNNING. THE RPM GAUGE REMAINED AT ZERO EVEN THOUGH I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE AND DRIVE AWAY FROM WHERE I HAD INITIALLY PULLED OVER. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE, THE RPM GAUGE STARTED FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU. *TR
