NHTSA Complaint #10297851 — 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT

I OWN A 2005 CHEVY COBALT. THIS VEHICLE IS MY FAMILIES' ONLY MEANS OF FAMILY TRANSPORTATION. ALSO, I HAVE VERY SERIOUS MEDICAL CONDITIONS, INCLUDING A VERY HIGH RISK PREGNANCY. THE VEHICLE IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRAVELING TO MY DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS. AT RANDOM TIMES MY CAR HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, AND LOCKED THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE IT HAS TROUBLE STAYING IN DRIVE, AND STARTS TO SLIP INTO NEUTRAL PERIODICALLY. THE PROBLEMS USUALLY OCCUR WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN TOWN ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED. THEY HAVE CHANGED ITEMS WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN AND TOLD ME THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. YET, JUST TODAY, THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN. I CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW IMPORTANT IT IS THAT I HAVE A RELIABLE MODE OF TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM MY DOCTORS. I HAVE EXPLAINED THAT FACT TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. IF I AM UNABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE DOCTOR OF HOSPITAL, MY MEDICAL CONDITIONS CAN TAKE MY LIFE, OR MY UNBORN CHILD'S. I NEED TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED, BEFORE I GO BANKRUPT PAYING FOR THEM TO FIX WHAT THEY CANNOT SEEM TO FIND. *TR
