STEERING | 10/13/2018 - VERO BEACH, FL
I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WAS TOUGH TO STEER UNTIL THE LIGHT WENT OUT . IT HAPPENED TWICE, ONCE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND ONCE TURNING ONTO A SIDE ROAD. I KNOW THAT THIS IS A RECALL ON 2006 COBALT, BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN THIS. WHEN I RUN MY VIN NUMBER ON THIS SITE, IT STATES THAT MY CAR HAS NO RECALLS ON IT. HOWEVER, I HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF RECALLS ON MY CAR WHICH WERE REPAIRED. BUT THIS WAS NOT ONE OF THEM.
