I got the car a few years ago only drove it for 5 months found out about the recall. I had to pay for the car to go nassau bahamas. They never ship it for me .they paid the ignition repairs never gave me a rental car. Then I called back a few months about a warranty say 60,000 miles or 5 year they tell another recall for the same thing. So I started checking come to find all kinda law suit on that type model. They want the car off the road. I asked them to pay out the car. Can't get a response. They open but the bahamas office closed from covid-19. Still have to wait on a response.*dt*jb

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet cobalt. While driving at any speed, the power steering seized. The contact had to use excessive strength to turn the vehicle. The vehicle also lost fuel. The failures occurred without warning. The vehicle also hesitated and jerked violently, and "faulty power steering" and "loss of fuel" appeared on the instrument panel. In addition, the service engine indicator illuminated and the transmission made an abnormal shifting noise. The contact called anderson chevrolet (31201 auto center dr, lake elsinore, ca 92530, (951) 226-0822) and was informed that the transmission recall was serviced in 2009; therefore, the contact would have to pay for the repairs.

My 2005 chevy cobalt with 117000 miles has a fuel leak coming from the gas tank area. My research shows that this common problem with the cobalt. So much so that gm has a bulletin to make repairs for years 2006-2009. Why is the 2005 not covered? Its the same vehicle with the same safety issue. Gas is leaking while the car is in motion while driver is unaware.
