Consumer Description
'TAKATA RECALL' MY MOTHER'S COBALT HAS STALLED ON HER MANY TIMES AT STOPLIGHTS AND ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS BECAUSE WHEN THE CAR MAKES A STOP AT A STOPLIGHT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND POWER STEERING AND EVERYTHING GOES OUT AND THE KEY WON'T TURN. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CAR TO DRIVE IN PLEASE PUT A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE, SHE IS AN OLDER WOMAN AND IT ISN'T SAFE FOR ANYONE TO DRIVE AT THIS POINT. ONE OF THE ALMOST ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET AND SHE ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED SINCE SHE COULDN'T MOVE IN TIME AND THE CAR GOES OUT AT ANY MOMENT IT WANTS TO.
