EXCUSE ME IF I WASN'T THE LEAST BIT SURPRISED. AND GUESS WHAT, JUST LIKE MY FORMER RECALL FOR THE FAULTY FUEL PUMP, MY CAR'S YEAR WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL! I'M TRYING TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THIS BUT IT'S LIKE PULLING TEETH TALKING TO SOME FOREIGN PERSON WITH A THICK HEAVY ACCENT WHO DOESN'T WANT TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE REPAIR. I'M SO SICK OF GM! WHY DON'T THEY JUST STOP SELLING CARS BECAUSE THEY'RE NO GOOD AT IT. HOW MANY LIVES MUST THEY TOY WITH BEFORE THEY REALIZE THIS!? NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WILL KEEP PURSUING THEM UNTIL I GET REIMBURSED!

THE FIRST TIME THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM BEGAN, BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN OH SO MANY OTHERS, I TURNED ON THE CAR AND A POWER STEERING MESSAGED APPEARED. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANYTHING ELSE, JUST THE "POWER STEERING" MESSAGE. THIS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS. THEN ONE EVENING WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT, THE CAR STARTED TO HOP, THE "POWER STEERING" MESSAGE CAME ON WITH A DINGING ALARM, THE CAR SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 5 MPH, AND THE POWER STEERING WAS GONE, ALONG WITH THE BREAKS. IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN OR STOP THE CAR. WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD, WHERE WE TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND ON A FEW TIMES. EACH TIME WITH NO SUCCESS IN FIXING THE ISSUE. FINALLY AFTER LETTING IT REST FOR ABOUT 15 MIN, WE WERE ABLE TO TURN IT ON AND IT RETURNED TO NORMAL. SINCE THEN, INTERMITTENTLY THE "POWER STEERING" MESSAGE COMES ON AND DINGS, THE CAR HOPS, AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $800. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND THIS, SINCE MY STEERING COLUMN HAS RARELY BEEN MOVE, MAYBE A TOTAL OF 30 SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2006. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND VERY FEW PEOPLE, OUTSIDE OF MYSELF, HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR, LENDING TO MINIMAL ADJUSTING OF THE STEERING COLUMN. *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.
