I smelled gas. Took it to the shop. The fuel supply line was leaking. Took it to the dealer and not covered under warranty, why not" I'm having the fuel filter replaced, which is covered. Plus, my car is losing power while on the interstate. I see the electric power assist is under recall, but the dealer told me it doesn't apply to my car, why not" in motion, on the interstate. Recall no. 10V073000.

I was driving home from gas station/ city rd and my keys came out of my ignition and I felt them hit my knee while driving! I slowly put them back in, then I turned down an ally after I had my key back in and got back home to park it. It's been parked since June 13th 2020. Because I know that can make my steering wheel lock up! I drive out of town a lot. And my 4 year old daughter is always with me!! so I'm not taking the chance of me driving 70mph and my steering wheel locking up!

I was driving to run errands and I parked. When I was trying to backup and drive again, I had sudden loss of steering control. I almost crashed into a car near me since I could not maneuver the steering wheel in a way to get out of the way. Luckily after this happened someone recommended me to turn off the car and turn the steering wheel again to see if the steering would return to normal. Fortunately, I wasn't in a busy street when this happened otherwise I could have been in a serious wreck.

The gauges on the dash go haywire. A subtle 'ding ding' sound is made. The engine has difficulty accelerating and will only do so in spurts. A power steering warning is displayed on the dash and the steering wheel becomes very tight and impossible to turn. Car will give you about a minute, tops, to do something before shutting down completely. Issue happens randomly but seems to be triggered by the car decelerating into first gear, at a stoplight for example. However, this past incident happened while on the interstate and nearly caused a collision with a semi. My particular VIN is not included in the loss of power steering recall involving Chevrolet Cobalts, General Motors recall number:10023 and NHTSA recall number: 10V073000. However, based on performance the past 6 months, I sincerely believe it should be.
