Consumer Description

CHEVY COBALT 2005 TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WOULD COME ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON STARTING SUMMER OF 2009. ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2009 I WAS 5 BLOCKS AWAY FROM HOME...HEARD "BING BING BING", LOST POWER STEERING, ABS MADE THE CAR BUCK, AND TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE THE CAR 4 BLOCKS TO MY MECHANIC WHO ADVISED ME TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALER WHICH I DID. HAWTHORNE CHEVROLET SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. ON THE INTERNET IF YOU TYPE COBALT 2005 DEFECTS MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM ARE BEING REPORTED TO GM. GM DENIES A PROBLEM AND WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR. I AM FRIGHTENED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AS YOU GET NO WARNING OF FAILURE. *TR
