Consumer Description

AS MANY OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY 2005 CHEVY COBALT. THE TRACTION CONTROL AND POWER STEERING GO OUT, WHICH MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHILE DRIVING. THIS OCCURS AT RANDOM; HAS HAPPENED WHILE ON THE FREEWAY OR WHILE BARELY MOVING IN A PARKING LOT. I HAVE NOW TAKEN IT IN TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP TWICE, BUT THEY CANNOT FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG. I FEEL LIKE THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I CANNOT CONTROL IT VERY WELL AND WITH WINTER APPROACHING, IT IS JUST DOWNRIGHT SCARY. I WISH THEY COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR; OTHERWISE, I WILL CONSIDER GETTING A DIFFERENT NON-GM CAR. *TR
