THIS CAR SUCKS!!!! I only bought it 6 months ago & have replaced nearly the whole front end! Over $1000 in repairs, then the power steering went out while I was driving!!

Cobalt LT

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,000 miles

I would turn my car and it would almost jerk and turn the opposite direction. I had to take it to the dealer and have them fix it..over $200 repair. They said there was a recall on the power steering but that had apparently already been taken care of.

Cobalt LX

  • Automatic transmission
  • 114,954 miles

I had the ignition switch replaced last spring, it's been ok since. Now I have a problem with the power steering being very stiff. I found out the power steering is electric so what is wrong with it.

When i turn corners it feels like I am turning with no power. I called a Chev garage they say it was fixed in 2010 but I did not buy this vehicle until 2012. I have a 2008 Cobalt. I received an e-mail saying they are recalling on the recalls so is this covered or is it at my expense.

Was the motor even changed? This is my first Chevrolet I have bought but it may be the last. Do I park my vehicle or not.
