Consumer Description

WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN A ROAD, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I AM GOING 25 OR 65, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON. ONCE THE LIGHT IS ON, MY CAR WILL SHIFT AND WHEN IT SHIFTS, IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. IT'S VERY SCARY. THE CAR GETS VERY JERKY AND HARD TO DRIVE. IT DOES NOT MAKE A SOUND, LIKE TRACTION CONTROL IS KICKING IN. IT FEELS LIKE MY CAR IS TRYING TO SHIFT BUT CANNOT. I'VE READ THAT THIS CAN TURN INTO MORE SERIOUS POWER STEERING ISSUES. I WENT TO GO GET MY CAR RECALLED FOR POWER STEERING, AND THEY SAID IT'S ONLY FOR 2004 COBALT MODELS. I DON'T FIND THAT FAIR IF SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE REST OF THEIR COBALTS. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHILE I AM DRIVING ABOUT EVERY TIME I DRIVE. THE LIGHT DOES GO OFF WHEN I TURN MY CAR OFF. *TR
