Feds Probe Chevy Cobalt Complaints - CBS News

Great to hear as this is a pretty big safety issue imo....

[Glowbalt]

So what's gonna happen?

[Will mpg]

The only thing we can do is start filing complaints Here:

Office of Defects Investigation (ODI)

I think I may start a new thread as a push to get a recall going...

[Glowbalt]

Do it..I'm not sure if I could complain cuz I've already done it

[Will mpg]

Done...

Anyone can fill out a complaint about something that is safety related. I do not know if you can more than once or not.

going to file about my power steering cutting out, last time was a few days ago while going around a turn, I swurved to miss a pot hole(turning opposite of the road basically) and went to whip back over and the steering went out, I almost went off the road!

[Glowbalt]

article on the mass recall:

GM is recalling 1.3 million compact cars for steering problem

and yeah, looks like it's free with or w/o warranty

"The automaker will fix older models first because it usually takes 20,000 to 30,000 miles of driving for the condition to develop"

"GM told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the recall on Monday. NHTSA began an investigation into 905,000 of the models on Jan. 27 after getting 1,100 complaints that the cars lost their power steering assist. The complaints included 14 crashes and one injury."
