Consumer Description
MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED TO 2006 CHEVY COBALT IN SEPTEMBER OF 06. SINCE THE PURCHASE OF MY , "BRAND NEW" CAR THE AIR CONDITIONING, POWER LOCKS, AND POWER STEERING HAVE ALL CEASED TO WORK. MY AIR CONDITIONING ONLY WORKED FOR ONE SUMMER. THE POWER LOCKS WENT OUT ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. NOW, THE MOST CONCERNING IS THAT MY POWER STEERING HAS NOW FAILED. I TURN THE CAR ON AND HAVE POWER STEERING FOR APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MINUTES, THEN THE CARS POWER STEERING FAILS. I WILL NEVER HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE ANY PARTS BECAUSE OF THE HIGH PAYMENTS AND INSURANCE. MY POOR HUSBAND IS A PIZZA DELIVERY PERSON! THIS IS THE WORST THING TO HAPPEN. I TRIED TO BUY AN AMERICAN MADE CAR HOPING THAT I WOULD AT LEAST GET TO DRIVE IT FOR A FEW YEARS WITHOUT HAVING IT BREAK DOWN. NOW GM IS GETTING MY PAYCHECK AND THE TAXES THEY TOOK OUT OF IT!! THIS IS PLAIN WRONG! I WILL NEVER BUY GM AGAIN. *TR
