THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SO MANY TIMES FOR THE SAME THING. WHEN YOU DRIVE AT TIMES, THE CAR SPUTTERS AND DIES OUT AND RUNS ROUGH. IT OVERHEATS AND THEN THE MECHANIC CANT FIND THE PROBLEM OR ANYTHING WRONG BUT I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. MY COUSIN BOUGHT A 2009 COBALT AND HER CAR HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS OF DYING OUT. THE CAR IS ALWAYS IN THE SHOP BECAUSE EVERYTHING BREAKS DOWN. I STILL OWE ON THE CAR AND ITS A MONEY PIT. A MECHANIC SAID MY FRAME IS BENT. I HAVEN'T BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I AM STUCK WITH A LEMON AND ITS SQUEEZING ME. *TR

TOOK MY CAR TO DEALER BECAUSE OF BAD CLUNKING IN FRONT END. THEY REPLACED THE BUSHINGS (WHILE UNDER WARRANTY). NOW (58000 MI) I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE CLUNKING IS MUCH WORSE?! SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE COBALTS. SEEMS THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF RECALL WITH ALL THESE COMPLAINTS BEFORE THERE IS A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT!!!! ALSO (I HAVE THE 2 DOOR) THERE IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH THE DOORS NOT WORKING! ALL THE SUDDEN YOU TRY TO GET IN AND THE HANDLE MOVES BUT DOES NOT OPEN! I WOULD HAVE TO ENTER/EXIT ON PASSENGER SIDE! I HAVE HAD PARTS TO THIS REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES NOW. THIS TOO COULD ALSO BE VERY DANGEROUS IF IN AN ACCIDENT! I AM STILL HAPPY WITH MY CAR BUT NOT WITH THE SAME ONGOING ISSUES THAT COULD LEAD TO POTENTIAL DISASTER! *TR

I HAVE A 2005 COBALT THAT HAS LESS THEN 70,000KM ON IT AND HAVE RECENTLY BEEN HEARING A LOUD CLUNKING COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE CAR. I HAVE JUST HAD A LICENSED MECHANIC LOOK AT THE CAR AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY FRONT REAR CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS ARE COMPLETELY GONE AND THE CAR IS NOW A HAZARD TO DRIVE TILL IT CAN BE FIXED. WITH SUCH LOW KMS THE MECHANIC HAD NO REASON OR IDEA AS TO WHY THEY WOULD BE SO FAR GONE. I WAS ADVISED THAT IF THE CAR WAS DRIVEN ANY FURTHER, THE TIRES COULD FALL OF AND THE CAR WOULD CRASH. *TR

HAD MY WIFE'S 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT IN FOR THE POWER STEERING RECALL. THE ONLY PROBLEM WE HAD PRIOR TO THE RECALL WAS THE FAILED REAR CONTROL-ARM BUSHINGS ON BOTH FRONT CONTROL ARMS (BOTH FAILED WITHIN THE SAME MONTH). NOW, AFTER HAVING THE RECALL PERFORMED, WE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH (OF ALL THINGS) LOSS OF POWER STEERING. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON, THE BRAKE SAFETY INTERLOCK CLICKS (UNDER THE AUTOMATIC GEAR SELECTOR IN THE CENTER CONSOLE), AND WE HAVE NO POWER STEERING! I CANNOT LET MY WIFE DRIVE THIS IN THIS CONDITION, AS SHE IS SMALL AND NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO CRANK ON THE STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT THE POWER-ASSIST. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT I COULD BRING IT IN TO SEE IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PART REPLACED IN THE RECALL - BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS. CALLED CHEVY AND GOT NOWHERE WITH THEM AS WELL. LEFT THE CAR AT OUR MECHANIC'S SHOP THIS MORNING TO GET A MORE RELIABLE DIAGNOSIS!! *TR

THREE ISSUES WITH MY 2005 CHEVY COBALT. ONE THE DOOR LATCH BROKE AND I CAN NO LONGER GET OUT THE DRIVERS SIDE. IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR I WOULD HAVE TO CRAWL OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. SECONDLY, MY STRUTS KEEP GOING BAD ON MY CAR. I HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED THREE TIMES NOW. MY THIRD ISSUE IS THE BRAKES. I WAS TOLD THAT THE COBALT HAD ANITLOCK BRAKES WHEN I BOUGHT IT. HOWEVER, WHEN I HAVE HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES THEY LOCK AND A LITTLE LIGHT COMES ON WITH A ANTI BRAKE SYMBOL ON IT. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHEVY COBALT SINCE NEW. CAR HAS 109,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS HAD A FEW PROBLEMS SOME THAT DEALER TOOK CARE OF UNDER WARRANTY. I STARTED NOTICING A CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE PS FRONT OF THE CAR ON 12/09. I FINALLY FOUND OUT THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM REAR BUSHING WAS COMPLETELY WORN OUT CAUSING THE CONTROL ARM TO MOVE FORWARD/BACKWARD CAUSING THE NOISE. I REPLACED BOTH PS & DS BUSHINGS WHICH FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE ON A CAR WITH THIS LOW MILES ON IT. I HAVE OWNED CARS WITH WELL OVER 200,000 MILES ON THEM AND NEVER HAD TO REPLACE CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS. *TR

POWER STEERING COLUMN AND MOTOR REPLACED FOR OVER 1,000 DOLLARS ALSO BUSHING. ENGINES STALLS WHEN PRESSING GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL. KEY WOULDN'T COME OUT IGNITION AND MY CAR WOULDN'T STAY IN PARK. HAD TO PAY A LOCKSMITH TO REMOVE THE KEY. HEADLIGHTS KEEP HAVING TO BE ADJUSTED. WHEEL BEARING AND STRUTS NEED TO BE REPLACE BUT I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY FOR ALL OF THESE REPAIRS FOR A 2005 VEHICLE. ITS TO MANY PROBLEMS FOR SUCH A NEWER VEHICLE. WHAT IS CHEVY GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS, HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE OR GET INJURED. *TR

VEHICLE BEGINS TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS AFTER DECELERATION FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS. CONTROL OF VEHICLE IS LOST DURING MOST VIOLENT VIBRATIONS, AND STOPPING THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY DOES NOT HELP THE SITUATION. THIS VIBRATING (ON THE FRONT WHEELS ONLY) WILL CONTINUE FOR MILES/HOURS. THE ONLY THINGS NOTED ON ANY 2005 CHEVY COBALT WERE SAFETY FOR INTERIOR AND HEADLIGHTS BUT THERE HAVE BEEN OVER 1100 REPORTS OF FAULTY POWER STEERING. SLOWER SPEEDS CAUSE THIS VIOLENT VIBRATION ON THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS STARTED APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE AND HAS CONTINUED AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE SINCE THEN CURRENT DATE 12 FEBRUARY 2010. CONDITION KEEPS WORSENING, HAS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2005 COBALT IN APRIL 2008, STARTED HAVING VIOLENT SHAKING IN FRONT OF CAR WHILE TRYING TO FIND THE PROBLEM MY MECHANIC DISCOVERED A DEFECTIVE STRUT WHICH CHEVY REPLACED EVEN THOUGH WARRANTY HAD JUST RUN OUT. THIS DID NOT CORRECT VIOLENT SHAKING OCCURRING ON A REGULAR BASIS. HAD FRONT END, TIRES, WHEELS, ROTORS, AXLE CHECKED WITH NO OUTCOME OF FINDING THE PROBLEM. WHEN THE SHAKING OCCURS UNABLE TO STEER AND HAVE TO REDUCE SPEED AND PULL TO SHOULDER OF ROAD, AFTER COMPLETE STOP NORMALLY CAN RESUME DRIVING. SINCE MY DAUGHTER DOES NOT DO ANY LONG DISTANCE TRAVEL I HOPED THAT IT WOULD NOT OCCUR AS OFTEN AS IT DOES WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT TO WORK, HOWEVER IN JANUARY OF 2009 WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING CAR AROUND A CURVE T/C LIGHT CAME ON SHAKING AND INABILITY TO CONTROL THE CAR LEFT HER STRAIGHTENING THE CURVE OUT SPINNING AROUND AND AFTER WEEKS IN A BODY SHOP AND 5000 DOLLARS IN REPAIRS, SEVERAL TRIPS BACK AND MORE MONEY, HIGH INSURANCE RATES WE STILL HAVE A CAR THAT HAS A SERIOUS DEFECT WITH NO ANSWERS TO WHAT CAUSES IT AND WHAT CAN BE DONE TO CORRECT IT. NOW THAT SHE IS VENTURING FURTHER FROM HOME I AM IN FEAR FOR HER LIFE BUT I HAVE NO FUNDS TO REPLACE THIS CAR OR IT WOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN GONE ALTHOUGH I AM SURE THAT NOBODY ELSE WOULD WANT IT DUE TO THE PUBLICITY THAT THESE CARS HAVE BEEN GETTING. LUCKILY MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT KILLED IN THIS ACCIDENT BUT DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE CHEVROLET STEPS UP TO THE PLATE AND FIXES THESE CARS. I HAVE BEEN CONSTANTLY BEEN RESEARCHING TRYING TO FIND THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH I CAN FIND OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE PROBLEM NOBODY SEEMS TO HAVE THE SOLUTION. THE CARS OR IN WARRANTY OR JUST OUT OF WARRANTY AND WE COULDN'T GET ANSWERS AND AS THE AUTOS GET OLDER THEY DON'T FEEL IT IS THERE PROBLEM. OUR CAR GETS REGULAR MAINTENANCE WITH THE SAME MECHANIC EACH TIME SO THEREFORE HE HAS FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE OF EVERY STEP IT HAS HAD,AND NOW THAT IT HAS HIT THE NEWS I AM SEEING SOME DIRECTION TO TAKE TO GET HELP. *TR
