NHTSA Complaint #10242130 — 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT

2005 COBALT, 40K MILES. ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST STEERING SYSTEM GOING OUT. LIGHT COMES ON SOMETIMES AND POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT. WILL STOP CAR, AND SOMETIMES THIS STOPS. MOSTLY BAD ON HOT DAYS. OUT OF WARRANTY, RESEARCHING WILL COST ME 1,200 TO 2,000. UNDERSTAND THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD AND BRAND NEW BABY GRAND DAUGHTER. I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THIS GOES OUT WHILE THEY ARE IN MY CAR. THEY LIVE WITH ME. THIS IS HORRIBLY DANGEROUS. THEY WONT RECALL IT, BUT MAKE THE PART SO EXPENSIVE YOU CANT AFFORD IT. NO OTHER PART EVER COST THAT MUCH IN MY LIFE UNLESS I WAS REPLACING AN ENGINE. I AM ASKING THAT THEY RECALL THIS PART ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL JUST STOP WORKING, AND LOOSE POWER AND OR CONTROL OF YOUR CAR. I PRAY THAT MYSELF OR MY GRANDCHILDREN CAN LIVE THROUGH THIS LONG ENOUGH TO SAVE THE MONEY TO MAKE THIS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I CANT JUST NOT DRIVE IT. IT IS OUR ONLY CAR. PLEASE PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PART IN THE COBALT AND FROM WHAT I HEAR A FEW OTHER CAR MAKES. IT IS THE SCARIEST THING IN THE WORLD TO LOOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING. AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THANK YOU *TR
