NHTSA Complaint #10572786 — 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT

I CALLED TWO LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIPS TODAY. ONE SAID THEY ARE WAITING ON INSTRUCTIONS FROM GM TO DECIDE HOW TO RESOLVE THE SITUATION. THE OTHER SAID THEIR SERVICE MANAGER IS OUT UNTIL WEDNESDAY AND ONLY THEN CAN THEY APPLY THROUGH GM FOR A LOANER CAR AND THAT PROCESS TAKES A FEW DAY. I HAVE WATCHED SOMEONE DIE IN A CAR CRASH AND I DIDN'T QUITE UNDERSTAND THE SEVERITY OF THIS ISSUE UNTIL I REALIZED THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED. AS A ONE CAR FAMILY, GETTING TO WORK SO THAT WE CAN KEEP OUR HEAD ABOVE WATER IS ALWAYS MY MAIN PRIORITY. GM IS NOT HELPING ME, I HAVE ALSO SENT THEM THE SAME INFORMATION I AM SENDING YOU. MY HUSBAND CANNOT DRIVE THIS CAR TO WORK UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS FIXED, IT IS NOT SAFE AND WE ARE FINANCIALLY SCREWED. I HAVE DRIVEN HUNDRED OF MY CLIENTS, ALL WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES IN MY COBALT. GM NOT ONLY KNOWINGLY PUT MY FAMILY'S LIVES AT RISK, THEY PUT THE LIVES OF HUNDREDS OF INDIVIDUALS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES AT RISK ALSO. IF YOU NEED A TEXT BOOK EXAMPLE OF THE IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE ON THE COBALT, BY ALL MEANS, COME GET MINE. IT WILL RELIABLY FAIL. *TR
