Consumer Description
WHILE DRIVING ALONG IN MY COBALT, SUDDENLY,WITHOUT WARNING, THE ENGINE POWER DROPPED OFF AND THE VEHICLE BASICALLY CAME TO A STOP IN BUSY TRAFFIC. THIS, (AFFECTING POWER STEERING, SPEED, CONTROL AND STABILITY),BUT, .. MOST IMPORTANTLY !!, .. SEVERELY THREATENED THE SAFETY OF VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO GET OUT OF HARMS WAY..(.. I WAS TURNING LEFT, SAFELY SPACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE 1ST TIME..).!! VERY SCARY WHEN CARS ARE BLASTING TOWARD YOU AND THE CAR WON'T RESPOND AS IT SHOULD. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY MORE TIMES SINCE THAT FIRST ENCOUNTER AND AT ANY TIME, WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING, IT WILL PUT YOU IN VERY HAZARDOUS, UNSAFE, DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATIONS..!!!! NICE ENGINEERING JOB GM ...!!! (WHERE'S THE COMMON SENSE OR FORETHOUGHT..??) *TR
