NHTSA Complaint #10230381 — 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT

1) WHEN PURCHASING THIS USED VEHICLE FROM THE DEALER, WE WERE INFORMED THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD BROKEN HIS KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH, HENCE THE BROKEN IGNITION LOCK MECHANISM. LIE 2) CAR BEGAN MAKING A FRONT END NOISE OR SO I THOUGHT, THE NEXT DAY AS MY DAUGHTER IN LAW AND MY GRANDKIDS WERE DRIVING HOME THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR LIGHT TURNED ON, SHE APPLIED HER BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE PANEL TURNED ON AND HER STEERING LOCKED. THE TRUCK BEHIND US WAS FORCED OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID SLAMMING IN TO US. AFTER GETTING ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS GOING TO BE AN EASY AND INEXPENSIVE WAY TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM I WAS APPALLED TO READ ALL THE COMPLAINT REGARDING THESE SAME ISSUES. I LOST MY OLDEST CHILD TO FAULTY SEAT BELTS ON THE 01 FORD RANGER EDGE. THIS IS INDEED A SAFETY ISSUED THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. *TR
