2010 Chevrolet Cobalt Complaint Log

MY POWER STEERING GOES IN AND OUT ON MY CHEVY COBALT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY RETURNING TO WORK FROM MY LUNCH. I HEAR THE THREE WARNING CHIMES AND LOOK AT THE DASH. THE WARNING READS "POWER STEERING". I SLOW DOWN TO MAKE MY TURN IN A QUARTER MILE AND REALIZED THAT I NO LONGER HAD THE POWER STEERING. I KNEW I WAS ON THE RECALL LIST FOR THE IGNITION AND WAS STILL WAITING FOR THE PART AT MY LOCAL DEALER. I FOUND ONLINE THE BULLETIN 14115. DATED MARCH 31, 2014, THAT REFERRED TO REPLACING THE POWER STEERING MOTOR IN CARS INCLUDING MY 2010 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHEN I RESTARTED MY CAR, THE STEERING WORKED FOR A FEW BLOCKS THEN WENT OUT AGAIN. MY FATHER TOOK MY CAR TO THE LOCAL DEALER BECAUSE I HAD TO WORK. I HAD PRINTED OUT THE BULLETIN FOR HIM TO TAKE. THE DEALER HAD NOT HEARD OF IT. HE CALLED DETROIT AND SPOKE TO A MAN NAMED AL AT GM HEADQUARTERS. HE DID NOT HAVE THAT BULLETIN EITHER. THE DEALER WENT AHEAD AND FIXED THE IGNITION RECALL PART, BUT COULD NOT GET THE POWER STEERING ISSUE TO HAPPEN. I DROVE IT LESS THAN ONE DAY AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I DROVE IMMEDIATELY BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE MOTOR AND POSSIBLY THE STEERING COLUMN. OUT OF POCKET, I PAID FOR THE MOTOR REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD IF THEY EVER RECEIVE THE BULLETIN, THEY WOULD REIMBURSE ME. I CHECKED ONLINE FOR THE RECALL ON MY VIN AND IT IS NOT ON THERE. SO IS IT A CURRENT RECALL OR NOT? AND WHY IS GM NOT NOTIFYING PEOPLE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR

I WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN AND STEERING GOT TIGHT ON THE CAR, I LOOKED DOWN AND A "POWER STEERING" MESSAGE WAS ON THE DISPLAY. IF I TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON IT WILL BE FINE FOR A COUPLE MINUTES THEN IT WILL GO OUT AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A DITCH AND FLIPPED OVER APPROXIMATELY FOUR TIMES. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER WAS NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT AND WAS EJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE LANDED ON TOP OF THE DRIVER. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED FOUR FRACTURED RIBS, A FRACTURED FOREARM ON THE LEFT ARM, A PUNCTURE WOUND ON THE LOWER LEFT CALF, A PUNCTURED LUNG, AND NERVE DAMAGE TO THE HIPS AND SHOULDERS. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V047000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), 14V171000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), AND 14V153000 (STEERING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 CHEVROLET COBALT HOME AFTER LEAVING WORK, I WAS ENTERING ONTO THE THRUWAY WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVATED, MY DASHBOARD READER SAID, "ENGINE POWER REDUCED", THE CAR THEN LOST ACCELERATION, STARTED TO BUCK AND SHAKE. I QUICKLY PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND LET THE CAR SIT FOR 15 MINUTES. UPON START UP, I PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE, IT BUCKED INTO GEAR AND I PROCEEDED WITH CAUTION NOT DOING MORE THAN 30-35 MPH. I WENT TO ADVANCED AUTO PARTS AND RAN THEIR FREE OBDII DIAGNOSTIC READER. THE CODE THAT CAME BACK WAS PO641 - ENGINE CONTROL MODULE - PORT #3. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CLEARED OUT AFTER 2 DAYS. THE CAR RUNS FINE NOW. VERY CONCERNED THOUGH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE STALLED ON THREE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V171000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE INITIAL FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 60 MPH WHEN MY SCREEN SAID ENGINE POWER DOWN AND IT AUTOMATICALLY REDUCED SPEED AND EVENTUALLY SAID DISABLED ENGINE AND I LOST ALL POWER. I HAD MY CAR TESTED AND IT IS A FAULTY ENGINE CONTROL MODULE. I BELIEVE FOR A 2010 THIS PART SHOULD NOT HAVE GONE BAD AND WHEN MY ENGINE POWERED DOWN AND DISABLED MY ENGINE GOING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND EARLIER COBALT MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM AND PART. *TR

ON JUNE 6 I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING TO MY HOME WITH MY FAMILY I WAS GOING ABOUT 40 MILES . WHEN I TRY TO MAKE A LEFT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL GOT TIGHT AND WHEN I TRY TO STOP I HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I ALMOST HAD AN TERRIBLE ACCIDENT MY WIFE IS STILL IN SHOCK. THANK GOD I DID NOT WREAK MY CAR. RITE NOW I CANT DRIVE MY CAR. I AM VERY SCARED. I RECEIVED A RECALL MAIL TO FIX MY IGNITION SWITCH BUT STILL WAITING.I WOULD LIKE MY STEERING AND IGNITION TO BE FIX. I WILL APPRECIATE YOUR COOPERATION ON THIS MATTER [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ON 03JUN14 I HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED AND THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER AND IGNITION KEY REPLACED DUE TO THE OPEN RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. SINCE THAT TIME ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE IT "STUTTERED" THIS IS THE BEST WORD I CAN USE TO DESCRIBE THE ISSUE. I DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM PRIOR TO HAVING THE ABOVE MENTIONED REPLACED. WHEN THIS OCCURS I HAVE TO TURN THE IGNITION KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND IT STARTS. THE "STUTTERING" DOES NOT SOUND LIKE A DEAD BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR ISSUE AS I HAVE HEARD THOSE SOUNDS BEFORE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ABOVE PARTS HAVE RESOLVED ANY RECALL ISSUE AND BELIEVE THAT INJURY OR DEATH WILL RESULT IN CONTINUED DRIVING OF THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2010 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS UNSTABLE, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE ABNORMALLY AND THE REAR WOULD SWAY BACK AND FORTH WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS.

THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A SPECIFIC DATE WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC DURING RUSH HOUR, THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND THE MESSAGE "POWER STEERING" WAS DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. THIS MADE THE CAR VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE OTHER DRIVERS HIT THEIR BRAKES SUDDENLY TO AVOID HITTING ME AS I STRUGGLED TO COMPLETE THE LANE CHANGE. THIS RESULTED IN PULLED MUSCLES IN MY SHOULDERS AND ARMS, ALONG WITH THE MENTAL DISTRESS OF ALMOST BEING HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS VEHICLE WAS ALREADY INVOLVED IN TWO IGNITION RECALLS FOR A SWITCH AND CYLINDER. APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AGO I RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOW INVOLVED IN ANOTHER RECALL, THIS ONE TO REPLACE THE POWER STEERING MOTOR. AS YET NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THIS REPAIR, AND NO ACCOMMODATIONS ARE BEING MADE FOR OWNERS WHO HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH THE STEERING. I PROTESTED PICKING UP MY COBALT FROM THE DEALER WHEN THE IGNITION WAS REPAIRED DUE TO THE POWER STEERING ISSUE, AND WAS TOLD THAT PICKING IT UP AND WAITING FOR ANOTHER LETTER STATING THAT PARTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE IS THE BEST THEY CAN DO. *TR

I HAVE A CHEVY COBALT LT 2010. I GOT IT USED WITH 40000 MILES ON LAST YEAR. I WAS IN MY CAR DRIVING BACK HOME FROM SCHOOL. ALL THE SUDDEN I SMELLED GAS OR BURNED OIL. IT IS HAPPENING EVERY ONCE A WHILE BUT I NEVER PAID ATTENTION TO IT. I PULLED OVER. I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND I TURNED IT BACK ON IN SOME COUPLE MINUTES. ALSO IT TAKES ME A WHILE TO SWITCH THE GEAR WHEN I AM IN THE HIGHWAY. THE BRAKES ALSO ARE NOT WORKING AS I AM PUSHING THEM HARD. THEY HAVE A DELAY TO STOP MY CAR. I DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE CHEVY COBALT RECALL. WHEN I GOT THE NOTIFICATION LETTER FROM GM I REALIZED THAT I SHOULD REPORT THESE ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN CONSTANTLY HAPPENING TO MY CAR. I AM STUDENT. I DO REALLY NEED MY CAR FOR MY DAILY COMMUTE. I AM GOING TO ASK GM TO RENT A CAR FOR ME UNTIL THE PART GETS FIXED. HOWEVER, EVEN AFTER THIS CAR GETS FIXED I AM THINKING THAT THIS CAR IS NOT RELIABLE TO DRIVE ANY MORE. I AM NOT REALLY FEELING SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR.

THE FIRST TIME I CALLED ON STAR FOR ASSISTANCE. THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG? IT STOPPED BOTH TIMES AFTER ABOUT 8 MIN OF DRIVING. IT WAS SCARY. WHEN I PARK THE CAR THE DIAL HANDS ON THE DASH THE TAC. AND THE SPEED DIAL JUMP LIKE A SHORTAGE IN IT. NOT LONG AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR, THE POWER STEERING FAILED WITH ME AND THE CAR SHUT OFF SEVERAL TIMES. I TOOK IT TO VIDALIA GA FOR REPAIR.

MY DEALERS SYSTEM DOES NOT REFLECT SAME RECALLS THEN GM'S. I WAS TOLD THAT "THE DEALERS GOT THE MEMOS AND HAD PROBABLY NOT GOT TO THEM TO READ THEM YET." I SAW WHAT WAS ON THEIR COMPUTER. GM IS NOT BEING TRUTHFUL AND I AM STARTING TO SUSPECT THAT THEY USED ANOTHER PART WITH THE SAME PART NUMBER WITH THE EPS PROBLEM AND THEREFORE THEY CAN NOT DETERMINE WHICH COBALT IS AFFECTED. GM IS NOT BEING TRUTHFUL AND IS BEING NEGLIGENT IN INFORMING THE DEALERS AND THE VEHICLE OWNERS ( I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY RECALL NOTICES IN THE MAIL). BREACH OF CONTRACT.
