NHTSA Complaint #10177403 — 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT

#1 I BROUGHT IT BACK BECAUSE STEERING WHEEL ALWAYS WAS TO THE LEFT EVEN THOUGH I WAS GOING STRAIGHT. DEALER SAID IT WAS FINE, I COMPLAINED TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEN DEALER SAID THEY FIXED IT. WHEN GOING STRAIGHT THE STEERING STILL LOOKS LEFT. #2 AIR CONDITIONING NOT WORKING, #3 LIQUID COMING OUT OF VENTS #4 CRICKET NOISES OUT OF PASSENGER SIDE DASH AREA. I WAS TOLD AIR CONDITIONING WAS FINE, NO CRICKET NOISES AND IT WAS NORMAL FOR FLUID TO COME OUT OF VENTS. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK AGAIN SAID A/C IS NOT FINE I ASKED THEM IF IT COULD BE SOME SORT OF FILTER (I AM NO MECHANIC) BUT IT WAS. THEY HAD CAR ALL DAY, WENT TO PICK IT UP BUT THEY SAID DASH WAS APART BECAUSE THEY WERE FIXING THE PROBLEM WITH THE FLUID COMING OUT OF THE DASH (AND I SAID I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO PROBLEM) THEY HAD THE CAR FOR THE WEEKEND. THEY TRIED TO CHARGE ME FOR THE FILTER AND I SAID I WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT BECAUSE THERE WAS PROBLEMS WITH THAT AC AND DEFROSTER ETC SINCE DAY ONE. THEY TOOK OUT THE FILTER AND PUT IN AN OLD DIRTY FILTER THAT DID NOT COME FROM MY VEHICLE AS THE GUY FROM THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN MALDEN SAID HE FOUND IT IN THE TRASH, (HAS MADE MY DAUGHTER SICK). #5 WHILE DRIVING THE CAR I WAS GETTING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY INTO A REST AREA AND THE CAR JUST DIED, THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING NO BRAKES ETC. THE KEY WAS IN THE SWITCH AND IT WAS NOT OFF. I STARTED THE CAR UP AGAIN. #6 THE ELECTRICAL DIDNT WORK, THEY FIXED THAT. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY SAY THEY WILL CHECK INTO IT ETC AND CALL ME BACK, BUT THEY NEVER DO. I WANT THEM TO FIX THE STEERING WHEEL, FIX THE CAR STALLING OUT FOR NO REASON (WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED) AND PUT IN A NEW FILTER NOT SOMEONE ELSES DIRTY FILTER. I DON'T TRUST THE MALDEN DEALERSHIP. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON AT LEAST 7 OCCASIONS MOST OF WHICH THEY SAY NOTHING WRONG. *NM
