STEERING | |||

We bought the 2011 cobalt used from shelor motor mile in christenburg, virginia. we noticed about 1 day later that there was a popping in the steering when you turn the steering wheel to the right and even to the left. we've already had it checked at the chevrolet dealership here in wytheville, virginia and was told the it was the interm shaft dealing with the steering, ($69.00), just to have it checked. we've done alot of checking and found out that there's a lot of complants and recalls for the steering for the cobalt. when you're driving and start to make a turn about 10 miles an hour, you can feel the steering acts like it catches. we've also contacted gm about this and was told that there isn't any recalls for the steering. we feel that this defect should be repaired by gm and our $69.00 that we've already spent. we have just over 44500 miles on the car. | |||
