When car has issues just stops and turn its self while driving. No reaction time time to pull off to side of road falulty check engine light never comes on. This happened when my serpitine belt broke also broke the pistons needing a whole new engine. Recently afraid to drive vechicle at all with new battery because it just stops running while in idol again no check engine light . Also anti theft is faulty when car shut sown yesterday car would not un lock and could not remove key.
Im driving and all the gauges go wacko swinging back and forth, anti theft light comes on check engine light abs light low fuel light traction light. It reads service traction power steering low fuel every light you can think of comes on and the car even jerks when changing into gear. At times the steering even has locked up on me, thank god at those times I was on a residential street and not freeway. At times it wont even start all the lights are just going basurk. Then theres days where its normal like it never even happened. Im afraid its going to lock up on me on the freeway and im going to have a serious accident!! the 2 recalls that my vechicle had have already been replaced but there is still issues!! this car needs to be completely recalled, I researched the issue im having and found out many many other people are having the same issue. Some people have even died!!! others major accidents, what more has to happen for this vehicle to be recalled? how many more people have to loose their lives?? this is a serious issue that needs to be taken care of ASAP!!! and when this issue occurs with the lights and gauges going crazy it happens as im driving. I pray nothing happens to my 3 yr old daughter and I. This issue has been happening for about an year now off and on.

The radio started displaying phone and did not work, I do not have the option to plug in a phone to my car. This happened off and on for a week then on 11/17/2014 I went to start the car and the car would not start, the gauges went crazy and the ignition locked and will not let me take the key out. The anti theft icon keeps coming on and I now have to tow it to the dealer to have it fixed. I have had nothing but problems with this cars electrical system and from reading the other complaints here it seems that gm should be investigating these electrical problems and expanding recalls for these issues.

I own a 2007 chevy Cobalt. In 2013 my car went crazy. Power steering stopped working and all the electric components were all over the place. Rpm's were going up and down, full tank of gas said it was empty, gear shifter was clicking, and the car was jerking like it wanted to stall. I called chevy and they told me there were 2 recalls, during the same time my garage smelled strong like gas. I had the problem fixed twice. Now in December 2016 the car is going haywire again. Power steering goes out, all electric components start flipping out and the anti theft system light comes on along with every other light on the dash. My 17 year old daughter now drives the car and it is completely unsafe considering she is unable to steer and all the electric components go out. This must be treated as a recall! I've seen thousands of the same complaints. This is extremely unsafe and can easily cause an accident. Gm needs to take responsibility for this! does someone have to die before a recall fixes the problem? I paid cash for my car and bought it in 2007 with 12 miles on it. This is unacceptable and there needs to be a lawsuit against gm!.
