if you cant operate a car with a manual rack your weak ass should not be driving. at least once a week i get sent to look at cars that have "stuck" e-brakes.

Especially on a small ass car like a cobalt!

Now if you're driving a Mac truck at slow speeds and have issues, I'll cut you a little slack. As long as you are a 13 y/o girl

Umm...I skimmed through the article but did it mention that the electric steering in the Cobalt is from the same manufacturer as the Corrolla?

Same hardware...

So does lifting weights.

This has been going on (or at least I've heard about it) for years now. However, over 35mph even w/o steering assist, you can still steer the vehicle.

People are looking for a free lunch, but GM should pony and fix the issue.

The steering wheel size is offset for vehicles w/o power steering.

I agree with most of you that it's a pretty poor excuse for an accident and I agree that GM should go ahead and fix the problem.
