Consumer Description

ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER NO ELECTRICAL CONNECTION THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES DURING OWNERSHIP. I HAVE LOST MY JOB DEPENDING ON THIS VEHICLE. I WOULD TRY TO START IT ONE MORNING AND SOME TIMES IT WOULD AND OTHERS IF WOULDN'T. WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE RECALLS ON THE CARS MY HAPPENS TO BE A 2005 CHEVY COBALT WHEN I LOOKED IT UP THERE WERE 6 RECALLS ON THIS ONE CAR. I UNDERSTAND THINGS HAPPEN AND NOT DONE TO PURPOSELY HURT ANYONE BUT THERE WAS MANY PEOPLE HURT. I'M JUST SCARED AFTER GETTING MY CAR BACK FROM GETTING IT REPAIRED SOME OTHER THINGS GOING TO HAPPEN AND I'M A YOUNG MOTHER WITH 3 SMALL KIDS AND I DON'T WANT TO PUT THEM AT DANGER AT ALL. I KNOW NOT EVERYTHING IS MADE PERFECT BECAUSE WE ARE ONLY HUMAN BUT I WANT TO KNOW THAT MY KIDS ARE SAFE RIDDING WITH ME IN THIS CAR. I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT GETTING A NEW ONE BUT MY CAR HAS BEEN SO GOOD TO ME TELL NOW AND I NO LONGER HAVE A JOB TO GET ANOTHER CAR. I DON'T HAVE A VEHICLE, A JOB, OR A WAY TO PAY BILLS THIS MIGHT OF NOT HURT ME PHYSICALLY BUT EMOTIONALLY AND FINANCIALLY IT HAS.
