Consumer Description

I OWN A 2007 CHEVY COBALT, WHICH HAS RECENTLY BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT TURNS ON, AND THE ENGINE STALLS. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, AND RECENTLY, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO START AT ALL. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON COBALT TRACTION CONTROL FAILURES, AND I KNOW THIS TO NOT BE AN ISOLATED EVENT. SOME EXPERTS ESTIMATE THAT THE MAJORITY OF COBALTS SUFFER FROM SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING TRACTION CONTROL FAILURES. IN ALL RESPECTS, THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT REQUIRES A RECALL.
