My husband was driving and the car suddenly stopped taking gas and said reduced engine power. He got it back home as it was only a few miles but top speed was less than 10 mph. It never did run right anymore and then completely stopped a few days later. Also the key gets stuck in the car if the battery goes dead. I had to leave the key in with the window down because I was scared of getting locked out. When my husband was able to come and charge the battery some it released the key. It never had any issues like these until they suddenly started. These issues showed up in summer 2021. Codes mentioned general electrical failure, throttle control issues with pedal and tac module. High and low voltage to tac module.

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION CAR SHUT OFF. THIS LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS. I CALLED CHEVY DEALERSHIP TODAY AND WAS NOTIFIED IGNITION SWITCH WAS ALREADY REPAIRED PREVIOUSLY AND THAT I MAY BE CHARGED A DIAGNOSTIC FEE IF I BRING THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR.

I have a fuel leak by the left rear tire possibly a corroded fuel line. I smelled gas for two days. The leak was by the exhaust. My children and I could of been killed.

MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH IN OUR 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT ON 23 FEBRUARY 2018. CAR LOST POWER TO POWER STEERING MOTOR, ABS BRAKES, AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AFTER HITTING A TREE DUE TO LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY. I DROVE THE CAR THE MORNING BEFORE THE CRASH AND NOTICED THE GAUGES AND SPEEDOMETER FLUCTUATING MOVING ALL AROUND, POWER STEERING LIGHT FLASHING ON DASH, I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTED CAR IT THEN WENT AWAY. MY WIFE THEN DROVE THE CAR GOING TO HER WORK AND SHE CALLED ME ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING OUR HOUSE SAYING SHE HAS LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR WITH NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES, SHE WAS SCARED AND HYSTERICAL AND SAID SHE HAD CRASHED UNDER A TREE WITH IN 1 MILE OF OUR HOUSE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACTING THE TREE. I WENT TO HELP HER, I MISSED SEEING THE CAR ON THE FIRST PASS BY, BECAUSE IT WAS IN A BRIAR PATCH UNDER A TREE AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES AND THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE DONE. SHE IS VERY LUCKY THAT SHE WAS NOT INJURED. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR RECALLS FOR POWER STEERING MOTOR(2) AND IGNITION SWITCH (1). IT WAS NOT RAINING THE DAY OF THE CRASH, SHE CRASHED APPROXIMATELY 10:20 AM. I PULLED THE CAR OUT OF THE BRIAR PATCH AND DROVE IT BACK TO OUR HOUSE. I FEEL THAT THIS CRASH WAS DUE TO THE CAR LOSING POWER TO STEERING, BRAKING AND AIR BAGS. MY WIFE SAID THERE WAS A ON COMING CAR, THAT SHE WAS TRYING TO AVOID HITTING, WHEN THE CAR ENTERED THE GRASS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD THE SOFT GROUND PULLED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD INTO THE FIELD AND CAME TO A STOP AFTER HITTING A BRIAR PATCH AND TREE. IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE MY WIFE OR SOMEONE ELSE COULD BE DEAD BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS THE CHEVROLET COBALT HAS HAD. I FILED A CLAIM WITH OUR INSURANCE COMPANY WITH $500 DEDUCTIBLE, SO WE WILL PROBABLY BE WITHOUT A CAR BECAUSE OF THIS ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR.

I HAVE HAD FHE CAR FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS AND IT'S A ONGOING PROBLEM.

THE SWAY BAR, CONTROL ARMS, & BUSHINGS WERE ALL FAULTY. THE ENTIRE FRONT END WILL HAVE TO BE REBUILT DUE TO SUBPAR PARTS BEING USED IN MANUFACTURING.

APPARENTLY THE SEALANT AROUND THE HEADLIGHT FIXTURE DID NOT MAKE A PERMANENT TIGHT SEAL THEREFORE WATER ENTERED INSIDE. AS A RESULT THE DAYTIME LIGHT WENT OFF AND ON AND THE SIGNAL LIGHT DID THE SAME.

MY 2005 CHEVY COBALT BEGINS TO SHAKE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I CAN FEEL THE VIBRATION STARTING THROUGH THE FLOOR BOARD AND EVENTUALLY THE WHOLE FRONT END BEGINS TO SHAKE. THE STEERING WHEEL VIOLENTLY SHAKES FROM FRONT TO BACK(VERSUS SIDE TO SIDE) AND THE VEHICLE IS HARD TO CONTROL. I ALWAYS HAVE TO PULL OVER OR GET OFF THE FREEWAY. IT FEELS LIKE THE WHOLE FRONT END IS GOING TO FALL APART. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP I CAN CONTINUE TO DRIVE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. THIS BEGAN ALMOST A YEAR AGO. I HAVE HAD MY CAR LOOKED AT SEVERAL TIMES AND THE SHOCKS REPLACED LAST YEAR WHEN IT BEGAN. EACH TIME I TAKE IT AND SOMEONE TEST DRIVES THEY CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM. THEY ALSO TELL ME THAT MY CAR IS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION. BUT IT CONTINUES TO SHAKE ALL THE TIME. SOMETIMES IT WON'T HAPPEN FOR A WEEK OR TWO, SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS TWO OR THREE TIMES A WEEK. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE TWO FRONT TIRES IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS ON HER WAY TO WORK AND WAS UNABLE TO STOP ANDHIT THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER. THE CAR SHUT OFF... SHE DID WHAT THE RECALL WAS TOLD TO DO AND HAD JUST THE KEY IN THE IGNITION... LUCKILY SHE WAS ABLE TO TURN ON THE CAR TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND SHE WAS NOT GOING TOO FAST THE SEATBELTS DID NOT WORK AND THE AIRBAG DID NOT WORK AS WELL.. ALSO BEFORE WE KNEW ABOUT THE RECALL HER IGNITION WAS MESSING UP BY NOT ABLE TO COMPLETELY TURN OFF WHILE IN PARK AND KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT... WE HAVE TO SHIFT GEARS AND TURN OFF AND ON THE CAR TO GET THE KEY LOOSE... SO NOW WE ARE DOWN A CAR, I PAID THE CAR IN FULL AND ITS NOW NOT DRIVABLE... ?? *TR

WAS HIT FROM A CAR GOING 70 MILES PER HR. THE SEAT BELTS THAT MORNING WERE NOT WORKING FOR THE DRIVER SIDE, ENABLING MY MOTHER TO HAVE SAFETY PROTECTION. WE HAVE EVIDENCE AND PICTURES OF THIS, SHE WAS THROWN OUT OF THE CAR. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, BECAUSE WE WERE HIT AT SUCH A FAST SPEED, IT CAUSED OUR CAR TO SPIN AROUND IN CIRCLES AND RUN INTO A BUILDING. THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT ALSO DID NOT LOCK UP, CAUSING ME TO BE THROWN INTO THE DRIVER SEAT WITHOUT THE AIRBAGS PRESENCE TO KEEP ME IN PLACE. I AM DISGUSTED TO KNOW THERE WAS ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THIS IN 2004 YET THEY JUST NOW CHOOSE TO CALL A RECALL ON THESE SITUATIONS. *TR

ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN MY POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, AND IT WENT BACK TO WORKING. ABOUT A MONTH AGO IT STARTED DOING IT AGAIN, NO I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE ISSUE. MY BACK DRIVER SIDE WINDOW HAS NOW STOP WORKING AND MY AC IS LEAKING ONTO MY FLOOR BOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE CAR ONLY HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAD ABOUT 48,000 ON IT WHEN EVERYTHING STARTED TO HAPPEN. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 COBALT I PURCHASED NEW. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES, HEADLIGHTS, A.C., SIGNAL LIGHTS ETC. BUT THE NEWEST PROBLEM IS THE POWER STEERING IT GOES OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNING. IT DOES THIS EVERY DAY AT NO CERTAIN TIME. AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT IS VERY HARD TO STEER WHEN THIS HAPPENS.WHEN THE STEERING GOES OUT IT SAYS POWER STEERING ON DASH, MOST OF THE TIME I CAN PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF WAIT A MINUTE AND RESTART THE ENGINE AND IT STEERS FINE FOR AWHILE. THE CAR HAS 37,500 MILES ON IT AND THE WARRANTY JUST RAN OUT. THIS COULD EASILY CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL AND OR A COLLISION. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.....THANKS. *TR
