While driving my 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt home after leaving work, I was entering onto the thruway when my check engine light activated, my dashboard reader said, "engine power reduced", the car then lost acceleration, started to buck and shake. I quickly pulled to the side of the road and let the car sit for 15 minutes. Upon start up, I put the car into drive, it bucked into gear and I proceeded with caution not doing more than 30-35 mph. I went to advanced auto parts and ran their free obdii diagnostic reader. The code that came back was po641 - engine control module - port #3. The check engine light cleared out after 2 days. The car runs fine now. Very concerned though.

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.

While driving my vehicle home from work during rush hour on a busy highway my power steering failed. My vehicle started to veer to the left and I had to use all of my effort to keep from hitting the concrete guard rail. I immediately slowed and proceeded to the shoulder. This was a very scary situation and I feel that my safety was compromised. I have since done some research and found that there is a recall for this exact problem already in place, but for some reason it goes by the VIN of the car. I would like to find out how I could either get my VIN added to this list or to get help with this situation.

I was driveing alone and the power steering mesage came up on the display and lost power steering. This has happen every time I get in the car know it had a recall they said it was done before I purshased it new at dealer and its doing exactly what the recall said would happen in time if I had not had the recall done. And there saying it was replaced once and now its mine sounds like the recall was a joke.

Arrived at my destination and the key was stuck in the on position. I have a manual transmission and had to drop the clutch and stall it to kill the engine. Car is out of warranty by 1 month for bumper to bumper. Talked with my local dealer and after discussing it with gm said they would cover the $300-$400 repair with $100 deductible. I ordered an aftermarket ignition cylinder for $42 and replaced it myself. I found the spring for one of the tumblers popped out of place when I removed the original. Poor design.

After parking the car (2010 Chevrolet Cobalt), the key would not come out of the ignition or turn to the off position. The car is a manual, so I had to stall it out and then unhook the battery to turn everything off. It is awaiting diagnosis at the mechanic.

Driving at 35 mph and panel light comes on showing power steering. Steering becomes real hard making turning the vehicle extremely difficult to maneuver. Due to the excessive force needed to turn the vehicle slightly and the unexpected frequent occurrence of the problem, makes this a safety violation and could cause a crash or even a life. The dealer was contacted on this and I was told my particular VIN model number was not covered. I was also informed by the dealer that this problem was not occurring on 2010 models and that they had not received any complaints from owners of 2010 Cobalts. If this is the case, why are some 2010 models covered while others are not? I feel the dealer does not want to cover this recall even though it is a safety hazard and they are picking and choosing which vehicles to repair. If there is a recall, then the vehicle should be fixed. There is a recall and t he NHTSA should make them repair all 2010s needing this repair and the dealer should not have the option to pick and choose.

While beginning to turn at a corner my power steering light came on making it very difficult to turn the steering wheel of the car. I called my husband and he said to pull over and turn the car off and restart. So I did but after driving a few more miles the power steering light came on again and this continued until I made it home.

The check engine light has been on continuously for the past year. Multiple diagnostic test have pointed to a coil pack or spark plug misfire prompting a replacement. Each time the coil pack or spark plugs are replaced, the check engine light goes off and within the span of a few hours or the next day the light comes back on again. I take the vehicle back in for another diagnostic and the same code pops up again. There is a continuous misfire which cause the car to loose the ability to accelerate or cause the vehicle to shake violently while driving. The a/c increases the chances of these occurrences. At the last check the mechanic finally told me that there must be an electrical problem because he keeps getting the same code and they have replaced it too many times for it to still be the same problem. It was suggested to me that this problem may be a manufacture defect. I looked into it and have found similar complaints from other Cobalt owners.

I was driving in the highway and the power steering gave a warning with a sound suddenly the steering was hard to move and I have to reduce the speed because I was afraid to crash with this problem. I park the car and shut off the engine and turn it on again, but after 2minutes driving it the power steering once again stop working. I decided to go to the deqaler and left the car telling them there is a recall for the power steering. They took the car and after two days they said that the car wasnt include it in the recall. Now I have this problem and making payment and in top of that with a broken car. Gm need to step up and take responsiblity for what they make. Year 2010 and already giving a lot of troubles. Also the dealer where I bouht the car didnt said nothing about this problem. United auto sale from new hartford,NY need to be more honest when they want to sale a car with many problems like this. They only care to sell you a car and nothing else. Also gm need to stop making car with so many recall like this one or fix the recall and move on. Im speaking also for many people who encounter the same problem like me.

Vicenza, italy. Roads were clear and it was 12am, not many cars were on the road. I was headed to work and as I was coming into a small traffic circle, the car began drifting, I let go of everything and the whole thing shut off: engine and lights. Another car was coming in but noticed I was drifting so they slowed down. I was headed into a ramp and tried to stop with my breaks which didn't work. I tried restarting the car but the key was stuck. I tried turning the wheel, but that was stuck. I finally got the car to somewhat slow down with the emergency break, and barely missed the ramp. I had recently had an oil change and my breaks checked, so I know my car was fine. It later happened again a few months later. Very similar situations. I have new tires and had my axles inspected, I know there is something wrong with my car and it is not safe. The most recent one was a few months ago at 0600. I used my breaks because an animal jumped in front of the car. The car slowed down, then the gas wouldn't work, the steering wheel locked and I almost hit another car as I struggled to turn it and the breaks would not work. The car then completely shut off and I was stuck with the car not waning to start. I took it to get inspected again, and thy said it was fine. I don't know who else to contact since GMC here and stateside, and he dealership I purchased it from in the states, are ignoring me.

In the middle of driving, the vehicle will shut off and on (multiple times) which affects the fuel and rpm gauges, loss of all power steering, all electrical starts going crazy (locks and unlocks the doors), starts flashing "low fuel" and "power steering" warnings and then car will go into complete lock mode. As of 4/has been fixed under the recall issue, however vehicle is still having these problems.

The power steering light comes on and makes it hard to turn, it comes on suddenly and go back out after about 1 or 2 minutes. I was told that there is a recall on these cars for that reason but I haven't received a letter yet. This is so dangerous . I didn't know it had electric power steering.

Driving at approximately 10 -15 mph, the car completely lost power and stopped after making a left turn. A warning chime started and the information display showed "power steering". Car was put back in park and restarted. Drove about 2 miles home and took it do the dealer the next morning.
