NHTSA Complaint #11072795 — 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT

I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-69 FROM FORT WAYNE AND THE STEERING HAD ABRUPTLY GONE OUT AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING. I MANAGED TO SLOW DOWN AND PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER. SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND IT SEEMED TO HAVE TEMPORARILY FIX THE PROBLEM ENOUGH FOR ME TO MAKE IT HOME. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TINE IT HAS HAPPENED. I ALSO LET MY DAUGHTERS USE THE CAR TO DRIVE TO COLLEGE AND BACK. I WOULD HATE TO HAVE IT GO OUT ON THEM NOT BEING FAMILIAR WITH HOW TO CORRECTLY GAIN CONTROL OF A VEHICLE WITH NO POWER STEERING. IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO HAVE THE LOSS OF LIFE DUE TO GM'S COMPLETE DISREGARD TO THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCTS THEY SEEM TO PASS OFF ONTO THE CONSUMER MARKET. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF OWNERS THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. WHY WON'T GM FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE ANOTHER LIFE IS TAKEN. IT SHOULDN'T MATTER HOW I WAS DRIVING TO KNOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE EPS SYSTEM. I HAVE SENT A MESSAGE BEFORE AND HAVE NEVER HAD A RESPONSE FROM ANYONE VIA EMAIL OR MAIL DELIVERY. I WANT THIS TAKEN CARE OF OR I WILL NEVER BUY NOR RECOMMEND ANYONE BUY A GM PRODUCT DUE TO THE TOTAL DISREGARD OF HUMAN LIFE OVER SAVING (CORPORATE) THE ALMIGHTY DOLLAR. NOT ONLY DID THIS JUNK GET PUT INTO COBALTS BUT ALSO SATURN VEHICLES AS WELL. CHEAPER PRODUCT ISN'T ALWAYS SAVING MONEY IN THE END.
