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 CUSTOMER HAVE TO LITERALLY PAY FOR THE MISTAKES OF THE COMPANY I'VE LITERALLY READ THOUSANDS OF REVIEWS OF PEOPLE HAVING THESE SAME ISSUES. IT'S AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CAR!! AND WE NEED TO BE COMPENSATED. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON THE STREET, AND ON THE HIGHWAY.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING DURING DRIVING

WHILE DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY, CAR WENT DEAD> HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP. POWER STEERING WENT OUT, BUT AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR IT WAS OK. IT KEEPS HAPPENING OFF AND ON- ON OCCASIONS. I KEPT SMELLING GAS, TOOK IT TO CAR REPAIR SHOP WAS TOLD I COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE, WAS TOLD THE GAS TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED OR WHATEVER THE PART INSIDE THE GAS TANK. NOTE: WHEN THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM ARRIVED I WAS LEAVING GOING TO WORK. I STARTED THE CAR BUT THE STEERING WAS HARD TO TURN SO I PULLED BACK INTO PARKING SPACE AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. I RESTARTED AFTER A FEW MINUTES-WAS ABLE TO STEER OK. UPON SMELLING GAS THIS WENT ON FOR SERVAL DAYS. I THOUGHT IT WAS FUMES FROM OTHER CARS. I WOULD SMELL GAS WHILE DRIVING IT. ONE DAY AS I PULLED UP TO WORK I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND NOTICED SOMETHING WET NEXT TO MY FRONT TIRE. I COULD SMELL GAS FUMES. I TOOK IT TO REPAIR SHOP THE NEXT DAY. SHOP TOLD ME THE CAR COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE.

THE POWER STEERING FAILS SPECIALLY RIGHT AFTER YOU START UP IT'S HARD TO TURN. THEN SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND MAKE IT TURN IT GETS HARD TO TURN ALL OF A SUDDEN WHICH COULD POSSIBLY LEAD TO A WRECK. SO FAR WE HAVE NOT BEEN IN A WRECK JUST A COUPLE OF CLOSE CALLS.

THE CAR WAS STARTED IN A PARKING LOT THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING WITH A DASH BOARD WARNING SHOWING AN ISSUE WITH POWER STEERING WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL STATIONARY. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN HOME THE CAR WAS VERY HARD TO MANEUVER TURNING OR CHANGING LANES AT LOW SPEEDS. AFTER PARKING THE CAR IT SAT FOR TWO HOURS. THE CAR WAS STARED THE WARNING LIGHT DID NOT COME ON AND THE POWER STEERING OPERATED CORRECTLY. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN SINCE. GENERAL MOTORS HAD A RECALL 10V073000 CONCERNING THIS ISSUE IN 2010 MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL.

WITH SOME DIFFICULTY I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY SAFELY BUT HAD TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN RESTART THE CAR IN ORDER FOR THE MESSAGE TO GO OFF AND THE CAR TO DRIVE NORMAL ONCE AGAIN.

TAMARA RECALL I HAVE A FUEL LEAK AND IT IS SPILLING OUT AT MY RESIDENCE WHEN I STARTED SMELLING GAS.W HEN I DROVE IT TO WORK GAS WAS SPILLING OUT LIKE WATER.

FUEL LINES CORRODED THROUGH LEAKING ENOUGH GAS THAT A PUDDLE WOULD FORM UNDER THE VEHICLE BY THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE WHEN STOPPED. WHEN TOWED TO THE DEALER THE FUEL STARTED LEAKING BY ONLY TURNING THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION WITHOUT STARTING THE CAR.

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WAS TOUGH TO STEER UNTIL THE LIGHT WENT OUT . IT HAPPENED TWICE, ONCE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND ONCE TURNING ONTO A SIDE ROAD. I KNOW THAT THIS IS A RECALL ON 2006 COBALT, BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN THIS. WHEN I RUN MY VIN NUMBER ON THIS SITE, IT STATES THAT MY CAR HAS NO RECALLS ON IT. HOWEVER, I HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF RECALLS ON MY CAR WHICH WERE REPAIRED. BUT THIS WAS NOT ONE OF THEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND "POWER STEERING" WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR SYMPTOMS, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AS I WAS MAKING A TURN. IT STARTLED ME AND CAUSED ME TO HIT A CURB. LUCKILY, IT WAS A SLOW TURN AND I WAS NOT DRIVING VERY FAST. I NOW HAVE NO POWER STEERING.

VEHICLE KEEPS STALLING AND SHUTTING DOWN WHEN TURNING OR A SPEED BUMP. WAS INFORMED IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. *TR

VEHICLE DEVELOPED AT RATTLING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN DRIVING OVER ROUGH ROAD SURFACES. I BELIEVE IT IS RELATED TO A PLASTIC GEAR INSIDE THE COLUMN THAT OTHERS ON THE INTERNET HAVE DESCRIBED. RECENTLY IT HAS DEVELOPED INTO A VERY LOUD RATTLE ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE THAT IS HEARD AND FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL ONLY WHEN BRAKING MODERATELY. LIGHT OR HEAVY BRAKING SEEM TO NOT CAUSE THIS, SO FAR. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE PROBLEM MAY EVENTUALLY RESULT IN THE FAILURE COMPLETELY OF THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS WOULD RESULT IN THE INABILITY FOR THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MOTOR TO ASSIST IN TURNING THE WHEEL, AND THUS THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR. OR I AM AFRAID IT COULD RESULT IN THE COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING ALL TOGETHER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) FAILURE AND THE EPS WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND I NOTICED A STRONG FUEL ODOR COMING FROM MY CAR. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. LEFT THE CAR RUNNING AND SAW A HUGE PUDDLE OF FUEL DRIPPING DOWN ONTO THE GROUND FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. ONE OF THE LINES RIGHT AT THE FITTING INTO THE FUEL PUMP IS CRACKED. THEY HAVE THIS ALREADY RECALLED, BUT ONLY IN 15 STATES AND MINE ISN'T ONE OF THEM. I WANT CHEVY TO ISSUE A 50 STATE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. MY CAR COULD OF CAUGHT FIRE AND I COULD OF DIED. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. A YEAR AGO I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL LINES FROM THE FUEL FILTER TO THE FUEL RAIL IN THE ENGINE BECAUSE THE METAL TUBING RUSTED OUT AND CRACKED. THEY NEED TO BE STAINLESS STEEL NOT POT METAL. THEIR IS NO RECALL ON THOSE FUEL LINES, BUT I READ LOTS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I DON'T HAVE ANY PHOTOS ONLY VIDEO OF IT DRIPPING.

I ALREADY HAD A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP OR MODULAR AND THEN ON THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON. THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO GO OFF EVEN WHEN THEY DID THOSE REPAIRS, THEN ONE DAY THE TURN SIGNALS STOPPED TURNING OFF AFTER MAKING A TURN. THE NEWEST PROBLEM AND THE SCARIEST ONE TO ME IS NOW A GAS LEAK. I WENT OUT AND STARTED MY CAR, STARTED TO REVERSE AND THEN SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF GAS. I STOPPED AND NOTICED MY GAS GAUGE ACTUALLY GOING DOWN. SO I SHUT THE CAR OFF HURRIED UP AND GOT MY KIDS OUT AND THEN SAW THE GAS POURING ON THE ROAD FROM UNDER MY CAR. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE PROBLEMS THAT I'VE HAD WITH THIS CAR. CHEVY NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE PROBLEMS. IT'S THEIR CHEAP MISTAKES. THE ONLY REASON I HAVE CONTINUED TO KEEP THE CAR IS BECAUSE IT BELONGED TO MY LITTLE BROTHER WHO DIED IN A TRAGIC CAR CASH WITH HIS PREGNANT FIANC AND MY FATHER. SO I HAVEN'T WANTED TO PART WITH IT. I HAVE SEEN THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AND APPARENTLY THERE WAS RECALLS FOR SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS ON OTHERS BUT NOT FOR MY VIN. HOW IS THAT RIGHT? THEY NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS AND THEY NEED TO FIX EVERYTHING CORRECTLY THIS TIME. I NEED HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM, I'M NOT SURE WHERE ELSE TO TURN AT THIS POINT.

RECALL NUMBER 09V419000 RECALL DATE 10/29/2009 COMPONENT FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR AS THIS RECALL, BUT BECAUSE MY VIN ISN'T FLAGGED THE DEALERSHIP WON'T REPAIR MY VEHICLE.

MY POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT COMES NEARLY EVERYTIME I DRIVE BUT ALL MY FLUIDS IN THE CAR ARE FULL, SO IT MAKES DRIVING KINDA SCARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

I HAD NOTICED A SMELL OF FUEL COMING FROM MY VEHICLE SHORTLY AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, OR IF IT WAS IDLING IN ONE SPACE FOR QUITE SOME TIME. THIS SMELL OF FUEL DEVELOPED INTO A FUEL DRIP ON TO THE GROUND. RESEARCHED THE CONCERN ONLINE, AND FOUND THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR THIS CONCERN, BUT NOT FOR THE STATE I AM CURRENTLY IN. THERE IS A "SPECIAL COVERAGE" ISSUED (BULLETIN 12191B) INSTEAD FOR MY STATE WHICH STATES I CAN HAVE THIS CONCERN FIXED FREE OF CHARGE. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER, THEY CONFIRMED I AM COVERED BY THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE. THE DEALER HAS NOW DENIED TO DO THE WORK AND FORCED ME TO PAY FOR A TOW TO A DIFFERENT DEALER TO HAVE THE CONCERN FIXED, AS THEY REFUSED TO CARRY OUT THE REPAIR.

SINCE THIS CAR HAS BEEN PURCHASED IT HAS HAD MANY PROBLES STERRING TIRES, SUSPENSIONS, AC .....SO COMPLICATED BUT LAST YEAR ONCE AN THIS YEAR AGAIN THE STEERING WHEEL HAS GOTTEN LOCKED COMPLETLY WHILE DRIVING ....IN MAY ANOTHER INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THE GAS/ACCELATERTOR STAY DOWN AND COULDNT STOPP CAR ....HAVE TAKEN IT TO GET FIXED MANY TIMES ALREADY

GASOLINE LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK PORTS WHERE INLET AND OR OUTLET HOSES ARE CONNECTED. THE LEAK ORIGINATES FROM THE TANK CONNECTION, NOT FROM ANY SPECIFIC HOSE. IT AMOUNTS TO A GRAVITY LEAK OF FUEL FROM THE TANK WHEN IT IS FULL OR NEARLY SO. CHEVROLET HAS ISSUED SPECIAL COVERAGE #12191B TO MANAGE THE SAFETY DEFECT PRESUMABLY TO AVOID A NHTSA RECALL. MY VIN NUMBER, EVEN THOUGH IT FALLS WITHIN THE RANGE AFFECTED AND PRODUCTION TIME AND GEOGRAPHY, IS SAID TO BE NOT INCLUDED. SO WE HAVE FUEL LEAKING ONTO HOT EXHAUST PIPES INSIDE AN ENCLOSED GARAGE FROM A POORLY DESIGNED FUEL TANK AND FITTINGS. SEEMS TO BE A PR AND MONETARY EXPOSURE CHEVROLET WOULD NOT LIKE TO RISK. BUT STOCKHOLDERS RUN THE COMPANY NOW. THIS PROBLEM LIKELY ORIGINATED IN 2016 BASED ON REPORTS FROM OWNERS OF THE ENTIRE RUN OF COBALTS. THIS WILL KILL OWNERS AT SOME POINT IF IT HASN'T ALREADY.

"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 CONCERNS REGARDING THE AIRBAGS AND NOTHING WAS DONE TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS CHECKED. I WAS ABLE TO HAVE THE SWITCH CHANGED WHEN THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT. I HOPE BY SHARING MY EXPERIENCE WITH YOU SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS CHECKED AND GIVE ME A SENSE OF SECURITY WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE.
