Cobalt Recall
Posted: Tue Apr 01, 2014 2:59 pm
I don't know about anyone else, but this whole thing feels absolutely retarded to me. It's also more reason for stupid people to demonize a good company, a decent car and the best all around vehicle company in the world.
If I had a Cobalt and it had a loose ignition, I'd either accept my inevitable fate or go grab a new or good one at the junkyard and replace it. I wouldn't wait for an individual dealership to decide how to rip you off or deny you warranty replacement, if applicable.
So it's just another reason for elitist automotive journalists, magazines and car enthusiasts to slander GM in every way possible. Even positive reviews, like of most corvette's, are laden with "Wow, I can't believe it's a GM!" or the even more insulting "Wow, I can't believe it's an American car!".
I've got a 32 year old truck, that is 75% OEM (lift and tires, TH350 swap to replace OEM transmission, swapped in 04' Silverado seats for the front, that's all) and I had a loose ignition a couple years back, that used to shut off on me when I hit bad bumps (Imagine that with hydroboost brakes). I just went and replaced it, rebuilt my tilt steering mechanism and went about my life.
I guess I missed an opportunity for a lawsuit and to take the weight of personal responsibility off of my shoulders, eh?
