Consumer Description

2008 CHEVY COBALT DIED ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 70 MPH. NO WARNING JUST STOPPED DEAD. NO POWER STEERING. CAR WAS ABLE TO GET TO SIDE OF ROAD. A FEW MINUTES LATER CAR STARTED UP NORMALLY. IF THERE HAD BEEN ANYONE BEHIND THE CAR THE INDIVIDUAL WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE 2008 COBALT. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR FIXED TWICE WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT IT IS CORRECT. HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AND ADVISE. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR AND IS TERRIFIED TO GO ON THE HIGHWAY WITH IT. *TR
