2007 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

STARTED DOWN THE ROAD AND LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND THERE WAS A LOT OF PLAY IN THE WHEEL. I THEN ATTEMPTED TO GET IT BACK HOME WHERE IT WAS VERY HARD TO TURN AND THE DASH COMPUTER WAS ALL HAYWIRE NOT SHOWING CORRECT DATA. THIS SUPPOSEDLY HAD BEEN FIXED UNDER A RECALL JUST 5 MONTHS PRIOR TO ME PURCHASING. *JS

THE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY DIED ON ME IN A MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY EXIT. A MESSAGE CAME ON SAYING POWER STEERING. IT WAS INCREDIBLY HARD TO TURN EITHER WAY. I HAD ABOUT 5 MILES TO HOME AND DROVE THE CAR IN THAT CONDITION. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. IN APRIL OF 2010 I HAD RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM ABOUT A RECALL; HOWEVER, THAT LETTER INFORMED ME NOT TO ACT AND WORRY UNTIL I RECEIVED A SECOND LETTER FROM THEM, WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED. I HAD ALMOST FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE ISSUE UNTIL LAST NIGHT!!! *TR

THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE HAD A STRONG FUEL ODOR. THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED A LEAKING FUEL MODULE AND HAD TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK, FUEL MODULE, AND FUEL PIPE. WHILE THIS DEFECT IS KNOWN TO OCCUR ON SOME 2007 COBALTS, GM STATES THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT PART OF THE CURRENT KNOWN DEFECT. THE LEAKING FUEL MODULE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL 2007 COBALTS. *JS

MY POWER STEERING LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH WHEN I WAS HEADED TO WORK THEN MY GAS GAGE WENT FROM 1/2 A TANK TO EMPTY, IT THEN STARTED TO FEEL WEIRD LIKE IT WAS GETTING HARDER TO TURN SO I PARKED IT AND SHUT THE CAR. WHEN I COME BACK AFTER WORK AND STARTED IT AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME AND PARKED IT CAUSE IM TO SCARED TO DRIVE IT WITH MY TWO KIDS.
