NHTSA complaint: 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT — STEERING
ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO THE POWER STEERING STARTED RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. WHEN IT FIRST STARTED IT WAS VERY SUDDEN AND SHOCKED ME. THE JOLT OF THE WHEEL, WHEN IT HAPPENED THE SECOND OR THIRD TIME, SPRAINED MY WRIST. NOW, EVERY TIME THE CAR IS TURNED ON THE POWER STEERING GOES OFF WITHIN ABOUT TWO TO THREE SECONDS AND REMAINS OFF. I ALREADY SUSTAINED INJURY FROM THIS AND I'M VERY UPSET THAT NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING TO FIX IT EVEN THOUGH THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY LARGE SCALE PROBLEM CREATING SAFETY HAZARDS FOR THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. UNFORTUNATELY, THE WARRANTY ON MY COBALT HAS LONG BEEN EXPIRED AND I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO REPLACE THE WHOLE STEERING COLUMN (MORE THAN $2000.00). I'D LIKE THIS ISSUE TO BE TAKEN CARE OF WITH A RECALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I WILL BE CONTACTING A LAWYER IF THIS PROBLEM CAUSES ME ANOTHER INJURY OR ACCIDENT. *TR
