Consumer Description
I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY COBALT AND IN THE FIRST YEAR I'VE HAD IT I HAD ENCOUNTERED NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS THAT THE RADIO THAT WAS INSTALLED STARTED FLASHING AND WAS NOT WORKING WHATSOEVER, AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE NEXT PROBLEM WAS THE SUSPENSION AFTER JUST 3 MONTHS OF HAVING IT THE SHOCKS WERE WORN OUT COMPLETELY AND HAD TO GET THAT FIXED. THEN JUST 1 MONTH LATER MY STRUTS, TIRE RODS, ALIGNMENT, OIL PRESSURE SENSOR WENT TO COMPLETE "S**T" SO NOW I'M STRUGGLING WITH BILLS AFTER HAVING TO FIX MOST THINGS ON MY CAR I HAVEN'T FIXED ALL THE PROBLEMS SINCE I'M LOW ON MONEY HAVING TO KEEP AND KEEP FIXING THIS CAR. THEN TO TOP IT OFF JUST THIS MORNING GOING TO WORK THE "POWER STEERING"LIGHT POPS UP AND I CANT EVEN TURN MY STEERING WHEEL, I TURNED IT OFF AND THEN IT WORKED FINE BUT I'M VERY SCARED IT WILL KEEP HAPPENING ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. PLEASE HELP
