Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THE CHEVY COBALT (2005) IN THE FALL OF 2009. THE NEXT SUMMER I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING. I HAVE SINCE BROUGHT MY CAR IN TWICE BECAUSE THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. TODAY, FOR THE THIRD TIME SINCE THE CAR WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BY CHEVY THE POWER STEERING SHUT OFF AGAIN WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND IT SEEMS LIKE CHEVY IS JUST REPLACING WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PARTS. THE WHOLE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED OR A DIFFERENT MOTOR NEEDS TO BE USED FOR THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. *KB
