NHTSA Complaint #10523692 — 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT

VEHICLE WAS RECALLED AROUND 2010 FOR STEERING AND FIXED. SINCE THEN NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL FAILURES, POWER BRAKES, AND STEERING FAILURES HAVE HAPPENED. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN DEALER AND NUMEROUS OTHER SHOPS OVER THE YEARS FOR SAME PROBLEMS. CHEVY DEALER (KERRY CHEVROLET IN ALEXANDRIA KENTUCKY), WHERE CAR WAS BOUGHT KEPT SAYING THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG. EVEN AFTER HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS SPENT TO FIX, PROBLEMS EVENTUALLY CAME BACK ( ELECTRICAL FAILURE, GAUGES FLUTTERING, RADIO FLASHING, STEERING LOCK, POWER BRAKE FAILURE). THIS PAST WEEKEND, GAUGES STARTED FLUTTERING, STEERING LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING AND CAR WENT INTO A SPIN RUNNING OFF THE ROAD. CHEVROLET DEALER HAS ALWAYS PASSED ALL THESE THINGS OFF AS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE ANY INFO ON WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS. WE ARE NOW AFRAID TO HAVE VEHICLE FIXED AGAIN AND DRIVE IT FEARING STEERING MAY LOCK WHILE DRIVING AT A FASTER SPEED. AT LEAST THIS POWER FAILURE HAPPENED AT A LOW SPEED AND NO ONE IN THE OTHER LANE DURING SPIN. NEXT TIME MIGHT NOT BE SO LUCKY. PLEASE GIVE US ANY INFO ON WHAT CAN BE DONE. THANK YOU. *TR
