Consumer Description

I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED A COBALT 2006 BUT AFTER 3WEEKS MY STEERING DID NOT RESPOND THE WAY I WAS CONTROLLING IT DID NOT ALLOW ME TO MAKE A PERFECT TURN MADE ME DO A SHARP TURN SINCE I FELT THE ADJUSTMENTS GET HARD BUT THEN IT LOOSENED UP ALLOWED ME TO TAKE CONTROL HOW A DRIVER IS SUPPOSE TO CONTROL HIS OWN CAR NOT LETTING YOUR CAR TAKE CONTROL OF ME THE DRIVER. CURRENTLY IT GOT REPOSSESED JUST BECAUSE I LOST MY JOB BUT NOW THAT I FOUND OUT ITS DANGEROUS ON THE ROAD. THINKING THAT DAY I LOST CONTROL FOR ABOUT 10 SEC. WHAT ABOUT IF IT COULD BE MORE DANGEROUS NEXT TIME AND MY NEPHEWS, MY FAMILY CAN GET HURT NOT JUST ME THIS TIME IN THE CAR WITH ME AND ONE OF MY FAMILY OR ME CAN LOOSE A LIFE BUT THE DEALER DID NOT NOTIFY ME ON THIS SAFETY RECALL WHEN SIGNED BUT NOW THEY DON'T WANT TO TRANSFER CARS EVEN THOUGH I CAN PAY MONTHLY. PLEASE HELP ME SOON AS POSSIBLE DON'T GOT A CAR TO TAKE/BACK TO WORK FOR THESE 3 WEEKS. *TR
