This is the 3rd time i have tried to get a response from nhtsa to remedy a ongoing problem with gm and the eps issues that has plagued all owners of cobalts-g5-g6-saturn ion-etc. but it is apparent gm is turning a blind eye to the problem. it is blaintently obvious when consumers do contact gm directly their reply is that they haven't heard of this problem. i can as well as others testify that all of the complaints on social media and forums are out there. so how can they say it is something they haven't heard of? there's too much money to be made off of repairs.
