Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT LT. I HAVE 39,000 MILES ON IT AND HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THE CAR! THE MAIN ISSUE SEEMS TO BE THE POWER STEERING. I WAS 4 HOURS FROM HOME AND MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. MY WHEEL LOCKED UP AND WAS HARD TO STEER. I CUT THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND IT SEEMED TO CORRECT IT FOR ABOUT A MINUTE AND THEN LOCKED UP COMPLETELY. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE IN NUMEROUS COBALTS THAT I HAVE SEEN. I TALKED WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN THEM AND THEY HAVE THE SAME ISSUES MINE HAS. THAT GOES TO SHOW THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CHEVY COBALT. MOST PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE KEY STICK IN THE IGNITION (I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THAT REPLACED) AND NOW POWER STEERING! PLEASE DO SOMETHING! *TR
