CAR WAS RECALLED IN 2010 FOR POWER STEERING. PREVIOUS OWNER HAD IT FIXED. I INITIALLY REPORTED BACK IN JANUARY 2014 OF RECURRING PROBLEM OF LOSING POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. I WAS TOLD IT WAS ALREADY FIXED SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALL. HERE IT IS A YEAR LATER AND I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING. THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED FLICKERING BACK AND FORTH GOING HAYWIRE AND THERE WAS A WEIRD TICKING NOISE IN THE AREA NEAR THE GEARSHIFT. I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY A TRACTOR TRAILER BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP ON ME AND I HAD MY 3 KIDS IN THE CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED A NEW COIL PACK, IT WAS REPLACED AND IT'S STILL DOING THE SAME THING. IT SHAKES AT RED LIGHTS AND OCCASIONALLY CUTS OFF. I HAVE TO PRESS THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO GET IT TO ACCELERATE WHICH IT DOES BUT VERY SLOWLY, AND THEN IT JUST TAKES OFF LIKE A ROCKET AND I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER IT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!! ALSO MY CAR CAN SWITCH GEARS WITHOUT HAVING TO PRESS THE BRAKE OR THE BUTTON IN THE GEARSHIFT. I CAN JUST SIMPLY PUSH THE GEARSHIFT BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT BEING IN THE CAR. WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY MY KNEECAP BUMPED MY KEYS AND MY CAR TURNED OFF. THERE NEEDS TO BE ANOTHER RECALL OF THE POWER STEERING BECAUSE APPARENTLY THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE FAULTY AS WELL. OR IT COULD BE THE FAULTY WIRING ALTOGETHER IN THE SYSTEM. THESE CHEVY COBALTS NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF OF THE STREETS AND OWNERS REIMBURSED FOR THE CAR PLUS ALL OF THE TROUBLE AND NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES THAT WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE ON GMS BEHALF. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE POWER STEERING BEING FIXED AND STILL HAVE THE SAME RESULTS AS MYSELF. HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO DIE OR ANOTHER LAWSUIT PRESENTED BEFORE THERE'S ANOTHER RECALL TO HAVE THESE CARS REMOVED PERMANENTLY OFF THE ROADS? *TR

THE STEERING WHEEL IS AUTOMATICALLY TURNING ON IT'S OWN, AND IT IS VERY HARD TO MOVE. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY LIFE. WHAT IF ONE DAY I START DRIVING AND THE WHEEL STARTS TURNING AND I CRASH? I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY COBALT NOW, AND HOPING IT CAN BE FIXED SO I WON'T HAVE ANY CRASHES IN THE FUTURE. *TR

AFTER HAVING GM REPLACE MY POWER STEERING MOTOR IN MARCH 2013, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AGAIN AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. LUCKILY I MANAGED TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE TO SAFETY. DEALERSHIP THEN DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BEING THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, COSTING ME $607 TO FIX. A YEAR AND 6 MONTHS LATER, MY POWER STEERING IS FAILING YET AGAIN. I CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY I CAN DRIVE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IT SEEMS THE CHEVROLET DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS KILLED PEOPLE. AFTER EXPRESSING MY CONCERN FOR MY PERSONAL SAFETY (AS WELL AS OTHERS ON THE ROAD) THE DEALERSHIP SAID I COULD GET IT TOWED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. I'M SORRY, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME GENERAL MOTORS WILL "ATTEMPT" TO FIX MY CARS PROBLEM AND IT IS AT MY EXPENSE? I BEG THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC ADMINISTRATION TO HAVE GM TAKE THESE VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD AND COMPENSATE OWNERS. I AM TRULY AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY EVERY TIME I GET INTO MY CAR. HAD I BEEN ABLE TO AFFORD A NEW ONE, I WOULD HAVE - BUT NOT EVERYONE HAS THAT PRIVILEGE. PLEASE, TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY LOST THEIR LIVES. *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.
