Problems with 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Power steering goes out while driving making it hard to stop or steer

While driving today door locks unlock and lock again randomly. it was scary. i was driving in town. also traction control light and engine light came on. began running rough and lunging. i am afraid to drive my own car.

For the past three days driving to and from work my chevy cobalt has been putting me in danger. when i start to break, sometimes the symbol with a lock and key, and air bag lights will turn on and the car steering wheel would lock and the brakes would come up resulting in the car being turned off while i am on drive. this is dangerous because i cannot turn the wheel and the brake is also locked. i get out of my car in the middle of traffic to push it by myself then jump in it and try to start it. this method works sometimes but is dangerous to not only myself but more importantly others. i do not know what is the main cause for this issue however i did some research and did not see any recall on this problem. i need help fingering it out before i hurt myself or others in the middle of the road driving unable to steer or break

My door lock keep lockimg and unlocking randomly on its own.. dose it worse driving down the road.

Takata recall the car will randomly lose power steering. the power steering message will display on the dash and the steering wheel will lock up. you will then hear a clicking sound as if the transmission is going bad. the car will jerk forward really hard and as you bring the car to a stop, the car will shake and you will hear all kinds of rattling. the gauges on the dash will all jump up & down! and you have no idea of the speed you're going. the check engine light will come on as well as the car with the lock light. sometimes the steering wheel will unlock itself but you will also have all of the other symptoms. as i stated earlier it happens randomly so i have to constantly pull over to avoid an accident! if you attempt to keep driving it there's a chance the car will completely shut off and you will lose control of the gas pedal and brake pedal. i contacted general motors and they stated the car had already been fixed and i got it after the warranty so it's all in my hands. why does the ...

Takata recall on 3/30/18 i was involved in a wreck. i was traveling on a busy city street when the light turned red. i stopped and the person in front of me was driving a large suv. when the light turned green and traffic began to move i started driving. out of nowhere with no warning, the driver just stopped and my car ran into the back of the vehicle. we both stayed in our vehicles i called 911. officers arrived and emergency services. even though hardly any damage was done to the suv, my car sustained a lot of damage to the hood and bumper of my car. the airbags didn't deploy. i thought my car was totaled by looking at it. i was able to have most of my car repaired out of pocket because i had liability only at the time. the passenger in front of me after giving information to the responders was able to drive away, i was not. i've also had another accident where the airbags didn't deploy in 2014. i am concerned that i might be in another accident that could be life-threatening and the airbags won't work. i contacted gm about my ...

Takata recall: i recently purchased a vehicle from someone (private owner) and as the tags will soon expire so i decide to get what needs maintenance done to turn that check engine light off. i got a free estimate from o' reilly's and told me to go to chevy and get the maintenance done to my safety recalls. next morning i drive over to chevy's dealership where i was denied any recall being done by an employee named sean popplewell. i told him to print me out a paper of what had been done, needing to be done and also took it up with the manager. the service manager confirms i cannot be denied for a maintenance but sees that the only maintenance open online is a service update and that there is nothing they can do salvaged or not. as i recently purchased the vehicle i am being denied my right to a safety recall, not only being denied while driving my 1 and a half year old son, in a vehicle who's check engine light is on due to the safety recalls that i am being denied to. i am within my right to 10 years after the ...

Failure to communicate with tcm/ecm/pcm. this problem has caused several occurances where driving the vehicle has been hazardous. because of either the wiring or the tcm itself, i, the consumer, have nearly been in 2 accidents. at first i was told that it was the power steering assist module. replaced that and problem still occurred. when the problem occurs, the gauges jump up and down and completely stop working (speedometer and tachometer), transmission shifts extremely hard when accelerating, power steering illuminates in the data information box which in turn causes loss of power steering (replaced power steering assist motor, issue still happens, 1 occurance of loosing power steering and being able to stop before going off the side a mountain when trying to maneuver a right hand turn), check engine light illuminates, when shifting from park to reverse, reverse to neutral, neutral to drive, the transmission engages very hard and results in an audible "clunk". 1 occurance of vehicle switching gears into neutral from drive, while driving (shift lever still in drive position),passlock light also illuminates in dash. vehicle consistenly acts as it is going to stall (headlights and dash lights dim). checked alternator and battery, both in optimal working ...
