1 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2016

I have owned a 2010 chevy Cobalt since 2012. Shortly after purchasing, the check engine light turned on. The power locks erratically lock and unlock. The windows will become jammed and suddenly will not roll back up. Cruise control will randomly stop working. I had issues with the transmission which cost me over $3,000 to fix. Then, there was the ignition switch recall which the dealer fixed at no cost. But now I am having problems with the power steering. I have to turn my ignition off and on for the power steering warning message to turn off but then it turns back on a few minutes later. I am aware that there was a recall for the power steering but yet the dealer refuses to address this issue with my car because they say that recall was performed by a previous owner. The NHTSA website states bulletin 14115 regarding power steering recall began July 17, 2014. Mind you I have owned this car since 2012 and have not had the power steering recall issues fixed. N140115 also states that it includes "2010 chevy Cobalt and vehicles repaired in recall 10v-073 that received repairs prior to may 31, 2010. " therefore, they should be held accountable and fix this problem with my vehicle or provide me with a car that is safe. The first time my power steering went out I was on a freeway on ramp when my steering wheel locked up. I could have died! this is a life threatening issue and I sincerely believe this is a lemon car.

2 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 05/29/2016

1. Cruise control engages on it's own and lunges forward, even in traffic at 10 mph speed. 2. Seat belt on drivers seat, while stationary,doesn't release easily and takes about 30-45 seconds at times to release. 3. While on the road driving, the car displayed all the information on the dash, such as; tire pressure, oil life, mileage, etc. , then the car's speed reduces and it flashes words "power steering" and then the car died in traffic and I was almost hit from behind before I could get the car off the road. I had to call a tow truck and be taken to chevy dealer and they found nothing wrong. This has happened again today, 5/29/2016 and I had to leave my car in store parking lot for four hours and then it started, drove 5 miles home and went out again right before I pulled into driveway. 4. While driving on the freeway, I engaged the brakes and they barely stopped me and brakes pads are good on car.

3 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 03/30/2014

The cruise control works sometimes then for no reason will cut off and stop working. In the last 8 days when I start up the car to drive and get on the road, sever shaking of the car like a flat tire or the front end was out of alignment. The first time I called on starr for assistance. They found nothing wrong? it stopped both times after about 8 min of driving. It was scarry. When I park the car the dial hands on the dash the tac. And the speed dial jump like a shortage in it. Not long after I bought the car, the power steering failed with me and the car shut off several times. I took it to vidalia GA for repair. They gave it back to me and said if it happened again to push the info button and restart the car. I am scared of my car. Help me please.
