Consumer Description

I OWN A 2006 CHEVY COBALT LT AND RECENTLY WHILE I AM DRIVING THE T/C, SECURITY, AND POWER STEERING LIGHTS COME ON AND MY POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND MY CAR STARTS BUCKING AND JUMPING LIKE CRAZY. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING 70 DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND I ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE DIVIDER WALL TRYING TO PULL OVER. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT INTO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS CAUSING IT. I HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION MODULE WHICH WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO RESET AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED OFF FOR A WHILE BUT IF IT HAPPENS IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS CRASHES. THERE ARE ALREADY THOUSANDS OF REPORTS ON THE SAME INCIDENT WITH THIS PARTICULAR CAR. *TR
