Consumer Description

I OWN A 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT. GM DID REPLACE THE POWER STEERING MOTOR, BUT I STILL DO NOT HAVE THE POWER STEERING BACK. THE SERVICE COMPANY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS THE POWER STEERING MODULE THAT HAS GONE BAD AND IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL OR THE WARRANTY. IT IS CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO JUMP AND SPUTTER. WHEN THIS OCCURS I LOOSE ALL MY SAFETY GAUGES LIKE MY SPEEDOMETER, GAS, ETC. THE VEHICLE EVEN CUTS OFF COMPLETELY WHEN I COME TO A STOP AT INTERSECTIONS. WHAT DO I DO NOW? OH YEAH, I EVEN HAD THE TRANSMISSION WORKED TO MAKE SURE IT WASN'T THAT EITHER. *TR
