NHTSA Complaint #10596853 — 2010 CHEVROLET COBALT

ON 03JUN14 I HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED AND THE IGNITION LOCK CYLINDER AND IGNITION KEY REPLACED DUE TO THE OPEN RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. SINCE THAT TIME ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE IT "STUTTERED" THIS IS THE BEST WORD I CAN USE TO DESCRIBE THE ISSUE. I DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM PRIOR TO HAVING THE ABOVE MENTIONED REPLACED. WHEN THIS OCCURS I HAVE TO TURN THE IGNITION KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND IT STARTS. THE "STUTTERING" DOES NOT SOUND LIKE A DEAD BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR ISSUE AS I HAVE HEARD THOSE SOUNDS BEFORE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ABOVE PARTS HAVE RESOLVED ANY RECALL ISSUE AND BELIEVE THAT INJURY OR DEATH WILL RESULT IN CONTINUED DRIVING OF THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
