Steering column rattles on rough roads and when braking. after replacing many parts i have figured out with the help of others and the internet that the steering column is bad. the gear mesh between the electronics power steering motor and steering column is not a good mesh. i bought this used car for my daughter to drive to college and work and believe that the steering and braking should always feel smooth for the life of the car.i understand if the issue was warped rotors or worn out bushings but this is a gear mesh. i can not even purchase a new steering column from a parts store. this tells me that chevrolet knows there is an issue and will not provide a fix. i also have tried buying a used steering column but the auto junk yard said thy can not sell them because they are on recall. i found service bulletin #04-03-8-006g. condition 1 is what i have and tested using the steps in the bulletin. i then went to forest lake, mn chevrolet cadillac dealership for a diagnosis and they said that the part would not be covered under warranty and could be replaced at a cost of almost $1000. i am looking for this to be covered under "special warranty" or recall as i believe chevrolet knows this is an issue. please respond with information on when i can schedule a repair. thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

I have owned a 2010 chevy cobalt since 2012. shortly after purchasing, the check engine light turned on. the power locks erratically lock and unlock. the windows will become jammed and suddenly will not roll back up. cruise control will randomly stop working. i had issues with the transmission which cost me over $3,000 to fix. then, there was the ignition switch recall which the dealer fixed at no cost. but now i am having problems with the power steering. i have to turn my ignition off and on for the power steering warning message to turn off but then it turns back on a few minutes later. i am aware that there was a recall for the power steering but yet the dealer refuses to address this issue with my car because they say that recall was performed by a previous owner. the nhtsa website states bulletin 14115 regarding power steering recall began july 17, 2014. mind you i have owned this car since 2012 and have not had the power steering recall issues fixed. n140115 also states that it includes "2010 chevy cobalt and vehicles repaired in recall 10v-073 that received repairs prior to may 31, 2010." therefore, they should be held accountable and fix this problem with my vehicle or provide me with a car that is safe. the first time my power steering went out i was on a freeway on ramp when my steering wheel locked up. i could have died! this is a life threatening issue and i sincerely believe this is a lemon car. *tr

1. cruise control engages on it's own and lunges forward, even in traffic at 10 mph speed. 2. seat belt on drivers seat, while stationary,doesn't release easily and takes about 30-45 seconds at times to release. 3.while on the road driving, the car displayed all the information on the dash, such as; tire pressure, oil life, mileage, etc., then the car's speed reduces and it flashes words "power steering" and then the car died in traffic and i was almost hit from behind before i could get the car off the road. i had to call a tow truck and be taken to chevy dealer and they found nothing wrong. this has happened again today, 5/29/2016 and i had to leave my car in store parking lot for four hours and then it started, drove 5 miles home and went out again right before i pulled into driveway. 4. while driving on the freeway, i engaged the brakes and they barely stopped me and brakes pads are good on car.

On 4 occasions the steering stopped working and locked up. three of the four times was when vehicle was moving in a busy shopping area. in order to regain steering the car would have to be stopped shut off and restarted. after each incident the dealership was notified and vehicle was brought in. the steering column was replaced and car returned to us. at the present time the car is at dealership for the same issue the steering locking up while moving. the car remains at dealership and we notified gm of the situation we received a case number, senior advisor and were told to keep lender and they would be reaching out to dealership. as of this time the dealership has not responded to gm email and we have not heard from dealership or gm about the status of the car. we have experienced this very dangerous and stressful issue several times and do not believe this vehicle is safe and no longer want our lives put in danger.

After receiving my car from the required recall on the steering assist motor, i notice that there was an extreme amount of "play" in the steering. this almost caused 2 collision within the few hours i had received my car from the dealer. i immediately took my car back to the dealer and was told i would have to pay them 69.95 for them to look at the problem, i declined. a couple days later i was contacted by the dealer and in conclusion they denied that the problem is associated with the recall. it would cost me to repair the problem. the dealer knowingly allowed to put me and my family members at risk of injury. i have had the car repaired, by research on the internet and found that the solution was to disconnect the battery cable for about and hour. this should have been done by the dealer and they chose to put $70.00 over the life of myself or a family member. *tr
