'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.
