NHTSA Complaint #10596872 — 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT

FOR MONTHS I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY IGNITION SWITCH, I HAVE BEEN CALLING EVERY WEEK TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP CLOSEST TO MY HOME AND EACH WEEK THEY TELL ME TO CALL BACK NEXT WEEK. WELL THIS WEEK MY CAR FINALLY DIED ON ME. LUCKILY I HAD PARKED AND WENT INTO A STORE AND WHEN I CAME OUT THE IT WOULD NOT START RATHER THAN STALLING ON THE ROAD. SO I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED WHAT MY CAR HAD DONE AND AT THAT TIME THEY TOLD ME TO CALL TRIPLE AAA AND HAVE THEM TOW MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT IF IT WAS MY IGNITION SWITCH IT WOULD BE FIXED AND I COULD GET A RENTAL UNTIL THE PARTS COME IN. WELL NEEDLESS TO SAY I CALLED THE TOWING COMPANY (AAA) AND MY CAR WAS TOWED UP THERE THE NEXT DAY WHEN I CALLED TO CHECK ON IT I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS MY STARTER AND NOW I OWE A HUNDRED AND TWO DOLLARS TOWING FEE AND HAVE TO PAY THEM OVER SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS TO DO THE STARTER WORK. I COULD NOT AFFORD THIS SO NOW I'M OUT OF MORE MONEY TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED AWAY FROM THERE. I GO AND BUY A STARTER THAT COST OVER TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS ONLY TO PUT IT ON AND MY CAR STILL DON'T WORK. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN THIS COMPANY AND I AM AFRAID OF THIS CAR. I AM NOT A MECHANIC AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT THIS IGNITION SWITCH MAY OR MAY NOT DO IF I CONTINUE TO DRIVE. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT I COULD GET A RENTAL ACCORDING TO THE NEWS AND I AM YET TO GET ANYONE TO EVEN ACT AS IF THEY CARE. THIS IS A PLEA FOR YOU TO HELP ME. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF FOUR, WORKING TWO JOBS AND THIS IS MY ONLY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION. PLEASE HELP ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR
