Cobalt

  • 60,000 miles
The contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt. The contact stated that the key could not be removed from the ignition. The contact was also unable to start the vehicle once the key was stuck. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to be repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that there was a NHTSA recall campaign number 09V073000 (power train:automatic transmission:lever and linkage:column shift) but the vehicle was not included; therefore, the contact would have to cover the repair costs. The approximate failure mileage was 60,000.
