NHTSA Complaint #10566167 — 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT

CAR HAS SHUT OFF TWICE IN THE PAST 4-5 WEEKS. IT HAPPENS ON ROUGH ROAD. ENGINE DIES AND CAR SHUTS OFF. CAR HAS TO BE RESTARTED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE ON THE ROAD. RECALL HAS BEEN NOTED ON MEDIA AND NEWSPAPER ARTICLE FOR 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT. THESE INCIDENTS WHEN CAR SHUTS OFF ACTUALLY HAPPENED BEFORE I SEEN THE RECALL ON THE NEWS. WHEN I CALLED CHEVROLET TO REPORT ISSUE I WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED TO WAIT FOR RECALL LETTER BEFORE I COULD GET THE REPAIR DONE. I FEEL THAT DUE TO SAFETY ISSUE AND MY CAR ACTUALLY HAVING THIS PROBLEM THAT I SHOULD NOT WAIT UNTIL APRIL FOR RECALL LETTER. I WAS TOLD RECALL LETTERS WOULD NOT GO OUT UNTIL APRIL 2014. THIS SAME PROBLEM ALSO HAPPENED TO MY COBALT LAST YEAR ON 3-4 OCCASIONS DURING WINTER MONTHS WHEN ROADS ARE MORE ROUGH. GM'S NUMBER FOR INITIAL RECALL IS 13454 AND 14063 FOR THE EXPANSION RECALL. I DO NOT WANT TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE REPAIRS. I AM REPORTING THIS DUE TO SAFETY ISSUE ON THE ROAD. NEED THIS CAR FOR WORK! *TR
