I feel that for a recall that has caused several deaths, GM should be getting the replacement parts in quicker. It took them over a month to even notify me of the recall, and when I called my dealership to schedule the appointment they said it would be another 1-2 months before they could get the part in. It has now been nearly a month and it's not there yet. I don't feel comfortable driving a car that I know could possibly cause my death. It took them all these years to even admit to the problem, let alone all this additional time to get the parts in and the recalls completed. From what I understand, it's a minor part and doesn't take that long to fix them. I'm not very happy right now. I have an appointment for an oil change next Wednesday, June 11th, and would really like to have this recall taken care of at the same time to ease my concerns. I have to wonder how many more will be killed before these recalls are actually completed.

The key will not turn in the ignition cylinder. Therefore the car will not turn off. There is a special bulletin #10256 about this exact problem including only the 2009 Cobalt however as there is not an open recall the manufacturer will not repair my car because my car has a branded title and they will only repair 'open recall' items. This issue is not listed in the global database when my VIN is searched but it needs to be listed under my VIN and there needs to be an open recall on this issue because it is certainly a huge safety problem that many owners have been experiencing. The only way to turn the car off is to get under the hood and remove the fuel relay fuse. In case of a fire this would be a catastrophic safety issue which could result in serious injury or even death.

Power steering becomes inoperable after several turns of the steering wheel on the new electronic power steering system. General Motors was aware of the condition as disclosed in the diagnostic bulletin provided to me after the third return to the local dealer to report the problem. (see attached bulletin). I have contacted General Motors customer service and they are supporting the statement provided in the bulletin that this is a normal condition and no resolution for the problem. I informed the dealer salesman, management and title agent the vehicle was needed for driver education purposes. The vehicle is unsafe and puts students in danger when making hard turns, evasive maneuvers to avoid accidents and parallel parking. In addition, they are failing the mva road test due to an inability to control the steering. The selling dealer was aware of the problem as noted in the bulletin and should have informed me the electronic power steering becomes inoperable when the system warms-up. And to not have a resolution is unconscionable.
