| Summary: | THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP IN THE CAR AND THE DIC/ INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYED 'POWER STEERING' . THE STEERING SYSTEM SHUTDOWN COMPLETELY WITH NO PRIOR WARNING OF ANY KIND. THIS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE CAR IN ANY MANNER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT POSES RISKS AND THREAT OF PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH TO THE CAR OWNER, OTHER CAR DRIVERS ON THE ROAD, OTHERS CARS ON THE ROAD, PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER BUILDING STRUCTURES. THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AT ANY GIVEN TIME. RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS SAFETY ISSUE PROGRESSIVELY INCREASES. REPAIR REQUIRES THE REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING COLUMN, PSCM (POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE) AND POWER STEERING MOTOR UNIT ESTIMATED TO COST UPTO $2000. RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET ALSO INDICATES A NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS WHOSE VEHICLES HAVE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (AS THIS CAR DOES) AS OPPOSED TO CONVENTIONAL HYDRAULIC STEERING SYSTEMS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. GM HAS ISSUED THE FOLLOWING COMMUNICATION ON THIS TOPIC, BUT THIS PARTICULAR BULLETIN DOES NOT REFER TO OWNERS OF 2005 COBALT CAR MODEL. BULLETIN GMP07-217 - 07126 SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT MESSAGE #:VSU20071643 SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT #07126 DATED: DECEMBER 3, 2007 SINCE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE RESULTING FROM A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, I AM REQUESTING THAT CHEVROLET REIMBURSE ME OR PAY FOR THE COST OF REPAIR EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS PAST THE STANDARD MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY PERIOD. *TR |
