I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL DEAL ABOUT A MONTH AGO TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED. TURNS OUT THEY DON'T ORDER THE PART UNTIL YOU CALL. REGARDLESS I HAVE BEEN WAITING A MONTHAND THERE IS NO INDICATION WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING ABOUT 30 MILES A DAY TO WORK ON HIGHWAYS AND EXPRESSWAYS I AM A NERVOUS WRECK ABOUT THIS PROBLEM I FEAR THE PART MIGHT FALL OUT WHILE I'M ON ONE OF THESE ROADWAYS AND I'LL HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I AM FOLLOWING THEIR INSTRUCTION REGARDING THE KEY BUT I STILL DON'T FEEL SAFE. DON'T YOU THINK GM SHOULD BE GIVING US LOANER CARS TO DRIVE UNTIL THEY ARE ABLE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM? THIS IS NOT THE FIRST RECALL ON THIS CAR AND GM NEEDS TO BE MORE PROACTIVE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY SON AND MY CAR DIED DUE TO THE IGNITION SWITCH, LUCKILY IT WAS IN THE EARLY MORNING AND THERE WAS NOBODY AROUND. I HAVE A STANDARD VEHICLE SO I JUST SHIFTED DOWN AND COASTED. I PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER AND PUT MY EMERGENCY BRAKES. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A GM DEALERSHIP AND GOT THE PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF. WITHIN A MONTH OF GETTING MY VEHICLE BACK, I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY SON AND THE BRAKES DISINTEGRATED AND TOTALLY FAILED ON ME. I FORTUNATELY KNEW HOW TO HANDLE MY CAR IN A SITUATION SUCH AS THIS BUT I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM. I EXPRESSED MY EXTREME CONCERNS FOR SAFETY AND HOW I NEEDED TO GET INTO A SAFER VEHICLE. I HAVE NOT BEEN HELPED AND I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR A MONTH. I NEED HELP TO GET INTO A SAFER VEHICLE FOR MYSELF AND MY SON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED UNDER AN UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER RECALL, FUEL STARTED LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE FAILURE OCCURRED CONTINUOUSLY.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000. ....UPDATED 07/22/15 *BF UPDATED 10/05/2017*CN

THE CAR HAD THE FUEL MODULE AND TANK REPLACED IN OCTOBER 2012 THEY SAID IT WAS NOT A RECALL AND COVERED IT UNDER MY POWERTRAIN 3 DAYS BEFORE IT WENT OUT. I JUST GOT THE CAR BACK FROM THE IGNITION RECALL AND THE AIR BAG ON PASSENGER DOESN'T WORK THEY CLAIM ITS SOMETHING DIFFERENT, THE GAS IS DRAINING FROM THE CAR AGAIN, IT SMELLS LIKE GAS. I AM ASSUMING THAT THE FUEL LINE AGAIN HAS BROKE, AND THE FUEL MODULE AND TANK WILL BE SOON BEHIND IT. LAST TIME THEY TOLD ME THE CAR HAD THE POTENTIAL TO BLOW UP.THE DOOR ELECTRICAL SWITCHES GO ON AND OFF BY THEMSELVES.THE TURN SIGNALS WORK WHEN THEY WANT TO TOO. *JS

THE CHEVY COBALT RECALL DOES NOT FIX THE KILL SWITCH PROBLEM. I JUST GOT THIS CAR BACK TODAY. I ATTACHED A SMALL WALLET THAT HOLDS ONLY MY LICENSE AND BANK CARD IN IT AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT STILL GOES ON AND OFF. HENCE THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IT DID BEFORE IT WAS REPLACED. I DIDN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE SAME WALLET ATTACHED IN MY CHEVY RENTAL CAR. THIS CAR IS NOT CORRECTED. IT IS STILL A DEATH TRAP. IF YOU ONLY LEAVE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS OFF EXACTLY WHAT THEY SAID TO DO BEFORE IT WAS CHANGED. *TR

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I AM A 76 YEAR OLD WOMAN WHO HAS CONTACTED MY LOCAL GM DEALERS IN HOPES OF RESOLVING THE IGNITION RECALL FOR MY CHEVY COBALT AND HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. TODAY I SPENT OVER AN HOUR ON THE TELEPHONE WITH GM AND SPEAKING TO A MANAGER BY THE NAME OF JAY WHO GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND TO LET ME KNOW THAT THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AND DOES NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE MADE TO MEET THE DEMAND OF THE CONSUMERS NEEDS. I WOULD LIKE A DEFINED ANSWER AS TO WHEN THIS PART WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ME AND ALL OTHERS.I WAS BAFFLED WHEN HE TOLD ME THAT GM DOES NOT PROVIDE ME AN EMAIL ADDRESS FOR CUSTOMERS TO COMMUNICATE DIRECTLY TO HIM. IN ADDITION JAY DID NOT KNOW OR WAS EITHER UNWILLING TO PROVIDE ME WITH A PHONE NUMBER SO THAT I COULD FOLLOW UP ON MY ISSUE. I'M NOT CERTAIN HOW GM BEING SUCH A LARGE INTERNATIONAL VEHICLE MANUFACTURER CAN NOT PROVIDE ITS EMPLOYEES WITH AN INTERNAL EMAIL OR PHONE NUMBER FOR CUSTOMERS TO CONTACT THE REPRESENTATIVE ASSISTING THEM. I AM GRAVELY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY GIVEN MY AGE, AND WHAT I WOULD DO IN THE EVENT MY VEHICLE SHOULD STALL ON THE STREET OR FREEWAYS IN MY AREA. I WOULD APPRECIATE A RESPONSE INCLUDING WHICH LOCAL DEALER CAN SUPPLY AND INSTALL THE PART NEEDED SO I MAY BE ASSURED THAT MY VEHICLE IS FUNCTIONING TO ITS FULLEST POTENTIAL WITHOUT THINKING OF THE RECALL. THE SERVICE REQUEST NUMBER I WAS PROVIDED BY GM IS [XXX] IN ADVANCE, I APPRECIATE YOUR ASSISTANCE AND LOOK FORWARD TO A RESPONSE AND RESOLUTION TO THIS MATTER. THANK YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
