From the “grass isn’t always greener” department, the Chevrolet Cobalt is under investigation by the federal government for power steering-related safety issues. There have been 1,132 complaints, with 11 crashes, 1 injury and no deaths. There are 905,000 vehicles which may be involved. The complaints center around a loss of power steering functionality. This leads to hard-to-control vehicles, mostly when changing lanes, presumably to pull over and stop the car.
The Cobalt will be replaced later this year by the 2011 Chevy Cruze.
