AT ROUGHLY 40,000 MILES AND 3 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP, A PROBLEM WITH THE SHIFT LOCK ON THE CAR WAS OBSERVED. AT FIRST, THE PROBLEM WAS LIMITED TO THE KEY BEING STUCK IN THE IGNITION EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS IN PARK. AFTER EJECTING THE KEY WITH THE BUTTON ON THE BOTTOM SIDE OF THE STEERING COLUMN, THE SHIFTER WOULD REMAIN IN PARK. EVENTUALLY, THE PROBLEM ESCALATED TO THE POINT THAT THE SHIFTER COULD BE MOVED FROM PARK TO OTHER GEARS WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP, BUT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED AT THE TIME. A FEW MONTHS PASSED AFTER THE ESCALATED PROBLEM WAS FIRST OBSERVED WHERE THE SHIFTER BEHAVED AS INTENDED OR IN THE MANNER WHERE THE KEY WOULD NEED EJECTED BUT THE SHIFTER WOULD REMAIN IN PARK. AFTER A FAILURE IN POWER STEERING SYSTEM RESULTED IN THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN BY THE DEALERSHIP, THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE OWNER WITH THE GEARSHIFT BUTTON STUCK "DOWN." SINCE THEN, THE KEY REMAINS STUCK IN THE IGNITION UNLESS THE EJECTION BUTTON IS USED AND THE SHIFTER MOVES FREELY FROM PARK TO ANY OTHER GEAR EVEN WITHOUT A KEY IN THE IGNITION OR A FOOT ON THE BRAKE. *TR

IN MARCH OF 2006 I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH & THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AS SOON AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP. THERE WAS A CLICKING NOISE THAT CAME FROM THE SHIFTER (WHERE YOU PUT IT IN PARK, REVERSE, DRIVE). THE CAR STARTED TO JERK FORWARD AT RANDOM & THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. I PULLED OVER AS SOON AS I COULD & TURNED OFF THE CAR. AFTER LETTING IT SIT FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON & IT HAD RESET ITSELF. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND BROUGHT THE CAR TO THEM IMMEDIATELY. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR 3 WEEKS & WERE UNABLE TO GET THE CAR TO ACT UP WHILE ON THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. I HAD NUMEROUS EPISODES OVER THE NEXT 6 MONTHS INCLUDING MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 60-70 MILES ON THE FREEWAY. THEY COULD NEVER GET IT TO ACT UP DOING THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. THEY CONTACTED GMAC; THE DEALERSHIP AGREED TO FIX THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE ONE OF THE COMPUTERS THAT THEY THOUGHT WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND & JUST WRITE IT OFF SINCE BY THIS POINT THE MILEAGE WAS AT 31,000 BUT THE PROBLEM STARTED WHEN THE MILEAGE WAS AT AROUND 10,000. WHEN I GOT THE CAR BACK IT WAS OCTOBER 2006. I DID NOT HAVE ANYMORE PROBLEMS UNTIL NOVEMBER 2009. I TURNED ON MY VEHICLE & IT DID THE WHOLE THING AGAIN. I TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF & CALLED A DEALERSHIP. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP & THEY KEPT IT FOR A MONTH AND A HALF. WHILE THEY HAD IT I WAS CALLING GMAC TO TRY & GET WHILE THEY HAD IT I WAS CALLING GMAC SINCE THE MILEAGE WAS AT 94,000. WHILE TALKING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT FRANK PARRA DEALERSHIP & GMAC THE COMPUTER WAS NEVER REPLACED; ONLY RELOADED. TO THIS DAY THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED & IT STILL HAPPENS AT RANDOM. IT HAS ALSO STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE LOCKS. THEY LOCK AT RANDOM & TRAP ME IN THE CAR OR WILL NOT LET ME IN. THERE IS A DEFINITE ELECTRONIC ISSUE!!!! *TR

TWO MONTHS AGO, WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN PARK, I WASN'T ABLE TO GET MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I'M WORRIED THAT MY CAR IS GOING TO ROLL DOWN A HILL AND HIT SOMETHING OR SOMEONE. ALSO TWO DAYS AGO, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. THANKFULLY I WAS GOING STRAIGHT WHEN THIS HAPPENED. AS SOON AS I TURN OFF MY CAR AND TURN IT BACK ON, THE POWER STEERING IS FINE, BUT IF I GO A MILE OR TWO, ALL OF A SUDDEN IT GOES OUT. VERY VERY UNSAFE ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD WITH ME. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE FOR EVERYONE!!! BOTH ISSUES COULD RESOLVE IN A HUGE CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOTHING HAS BEEN FIXED BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN READING ON RECALLS AND I HOPE I CAN GET THIS FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED! *TR

2005 CHEVY COBALT POWER STEERING FAILURE. WE PURCHASED THIS CAR A FEW MONTHS AGO AND IT HAS BEGUN TO HAVE MAJOR PROBLEMS. THE CAR IS INSIDE OF THE TIMELINE FOR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, BUT IS OVER MILES. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON FOLLOWED BY COMPLETE POWER STEERING FAILURE, ENGINE STALLING, ROUGH SHIFTING, STRANGE MOVEMENTS OF THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. POWER STEERING LOSS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AND THE ENGINE HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING. THE ENGINE ALSO STALL WHEN BRAKING. THIS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT TODAY AND THE SITUATION IS GETTING WORSE. MY WIFE AND I DRIVE OUR 1 YEAR OLD CHILD IN THIS CAR AND MY WIFE IS PREGNANT. WE CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM AS NUMEROUS REPORTS ON THE WEB INDICATE THAT THIS IS A EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM THAT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES EACH DAY. *TR

Official recalls
5Apr 10, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR, 2007-2010 Pontiac G5, 2006-2010 Pontiac Solstice, 2003-2007 Saturn Ion, and 2007-2010 Saturn Sky vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the "Off" position.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the "off" position, the vehicle could roll away: (a) for an automatic transmission, if the transmission is not in the "Park" position; or (b) for a manual transmission, if the parking brake is not engaged and the transmission is not in the "Reverse" position. This potential for rollaway increases the risk for a crash and occupant or pedestrian injuries.
Remedy: General Motors will notify owners, and for vehicles that were built with the defective ignition cylinder and have not previously had the ignition cylinder replaced with the redesigned part, dealers will replace the ignition cylinder and cut and, if necessary, re-learn two ignition/door keys for each vehicle. For vehicles that were built with the redesigned ignition cylinder or had the ignition cylinder replaced with the redesigned part, dealers will cut and, if necessary, re-learn two ignition/door keys for each vehicle. The recall began on April 18, 2014. Chevrolet owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-222-1020, Pontiac owners at 1-800-762-2737, and Saturn owners at 1-800-553-6000. General Motors' number for this recall is 14113 for the ignition lock cylinder and key replacement, and 14133 for only key replacements. Note: Until a vehicle has been remedied, owners and operators are advised that when exiting, to be sure that the vehicle is in "Park," or in the case of a manual transmission, that the vehicle is in the "Reverse" position and the parking brake is engaged.

This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on February 10, 2014 that they are recalling 619,122 model year 2005-2007 Chevrolet Cobalt, and 2007 Pontiac G5 vehicles. On February 25, 2014, GM increased the recall to include an additional 748,024 model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet HHR and Pontiac Solstice vehicles and 2003-2007 Saturn Ion vehicles and 2007 Saturn Sky vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine. On March 27, 2014, GM notified the agency that the defective ignition switches may have been used as service replacement parts on other vehicles, and as a result GM will be recalling certain model year 2008-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, Saturn Sky, and Pontiac G5 and Solstice, and 2008-2011 Chevrolet HHR vehicles. The part numbers for the service parts are 10392423 (a/k/a ACDelco D1461F), 10392737, 15857948, 15854953, 15896640, and 25846762. This expansion represents an additional 823,788 vehicles.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. An interim notification was issued to owners of 2007 and earlier models on March 10, 2014, informing them of the safety defect. Owners of 2008 and later vehicles will be mailed an interim letter on April 21, 2014. All affected owners will receive another letter once parts are available. The recall began on April 18, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, Pontiac at 1-800-762-2737 or Saturn at 1-800-553-6000. GM's number for the initial recall is 13454 and 14063 for the expansion. GMs recall number for the vehicles that may have received the replacement parts is 14092. Note: Until the recall repairs have been performed, it is very important that customers remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the vehicle key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. Always wear your seatbelt.
