I OWN A 2006 CHEVY COBALT THAT YES IS INVOLVED IN THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL. JUST PUTTING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION I AM SURE HELPS A BIT. BUT I HAVE BEEN CHECKING THE IGNITION POSITION WHEN I STOP AT LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS AND A FEW TIMES THE KEY HAS SLIPPED A LITTLE NOT ENOUGH TO BOUNCE IT INTO THE OFF POSITION. BUT ENOUGH THAT IF I DID NOT PUSH IT BACK INTO POSITION AND I HIT A BUMP IT WOULD HAVE. HOWEVER IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED IN THE STEERING COLUMN RECALL. I HAVE FOR MONTHS OFF AND ON HAD A WHINING NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND WHEN IT DOES THIS THE CAR IS HARD TO STEER. ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK THE OTHER DAY THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO WHINE WHEN I WAS TURNING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND STEERING GOT HARDER. WHEN I HIT THE HIGHWAY THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR STARTED TO DING AT ME. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED CAR OFF FOR A MINUTE AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND CAR WAS FINE. WHEN I GOT HOME I LOOKED TO SEE IF THERE WERE OTHER COBALT OWNERS HAVING THIS ISSUE. AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF 2006 OWNERS AND EVEN MORE FOR 2005 HAVING THE ISSUE. THAT IS WHEN I FOUND THEY WERE RECALLING CARS FOR THIS ISSUE BUT ONLY 2010 COBALT'S WHICH THEY HAD RECALLED IN 2010 FOR THE SAME ISSUE. BUT THE REST OF US ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 COBALT'S FRONT END. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN A COUPLE MONTHS AGO BECAUSE IT WAS MAKING A BANGING NOISE IN THE FRONT END. AND FOUND THAT THE LOWER TIE RODS AND THE BEARING WERE BAD ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR. I AGAIN HIT THE INTERNET TO SEE IF OTHER OWNERS WHERE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND I FOUND AGAIN HUNDREDS OF 2006 COBALT OWNERS WHERE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. AND MANY OF THEM STATED THAT THEY CONTACTED CHEVY TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE SO THEREFORE CHEVY WAS NOT GOING TO RECALL THE CAR AND FIX THE PROBLEM IT WAS OUR ISSUE. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD DRIFT TO THE LEFT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE CONTROL ARM BUSHING WAS DEFECTIVE. THE BUSHING WAS REPLACED. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT A POPPING NOISE WAS PRESENT FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE STABILIZING BUSHING THAT WAS CONNECTED TO THE ENGINE SUB FRAME WAS DAMAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE DEFECT WAS REMEDIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.
DRIVING ON 127 NORTH TOWARD LANSING MICHIGAN AT 75 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE ENGINE LOST CONTROL CAUSING THE CAR TO GO NO FASTER THAN 15 MILES PER HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS A SAFETY RISK TO THE DRIVER AS WELL AS OTHERS. I HAVE REPLACED THE GAS PEDDLE SENSOR WHICH DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, NEXT I WILL REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY. THE CODES CAN BE RESET TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM TEMPORARY IF YOU PURCHASE A $300 DOLLAR CODE READER. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BEARINGS TWICE. ON 2/16/2014 I HIT A POT HOLE AND KNOCKED A BOLT LOOSE THAT HOLDS THE CARS FRAME TOGETHER SO AT THIS POINT THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. AT LEAST I'M HOPING ITS LOOSE AND NOT BROKE. THE CAR SHAKES TERRIBLY DUE TO THE FRAME BOLT. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
AFTER TWO HUB FAILURES, STABILIZER LINK FAILURES, IGNITION COIL FAILURE, REAR DEFROSTER FAILURE, POWER LOCKS FAILURE, AND NOW THE STEERING RACK IS MAKING A GRINDING NOISE AND CAUSING PREMATURE WEAR TO THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE. I BELIEVE THERE IS A TSB ON THE STEERING RACK. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL I WON'T EVER BY A GM AGAIN. *TR
HAVE BEEN TOLD VARIOUS TIMES I NEED NEW STRUTS AND SHOCKS. I THINK THIS IS RIDICULOUS SEEING AS THOUGH I HAVE DO NOT HAVE MANY MILES ON MY CAR AND THE YEAR OF MY CAR. DEALERSHIPS HAVE TOLD ME THAT IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE THAT A CAR A 2006 AND WITH LOW MILES ON IT SHOULD NEED SHOCKS AND STRUTS RIGHT NOW. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR SINCE I PAID IT OFF. WHEEL BARING, SHOCKS STRUTS, PROBLEMS GETTING KEY OUT OF IGNITION, HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS LEAKING WATER INTO IT, SLVE CYLINDER AND MASTER CYLINDER, FUEL PUMP. I WILL NEVER BUY A CHEVY AGAIN! *TR
CRASH CAR ,STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT TO HANDLE. RAN OFF ROAD TO RIGHT HIT BANK AND FLIPPED CAR SEVERAL TIME. CAR WAS GOING A LITTLE FAST, BUT THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HANDLE THE SPEED. ONE GUY HAD A INJURY TO HIS ARM AND THE OTHER WAS THROWN FROM THE CAR LEADING TO HIS DEATH. *TR
SINCE THIS VEHICLE REACHED 60000MI I HAVE REPLACED THE CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS TWICE. WHEN THESE BUSHINGS GO BAD THEY CAUSE STEERING ISSUES, BRAKING ISSUES AND HANDLING ISSUES. THESE BUSHINGS ARE POORLY ENGINEERED AND I THINK THAT ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS CONTROL ARM DESIGN SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY HHR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THESE BUSHINGS ARE MOUNTED HORIZONTALLY AND ARE SUPPOSED TO FLEX HORIZONTALLY WITH A VERTICAL BOLT THROUGH THEM. IMPOSSIBLE TO DO EFFICIENTLY. I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED BY ANY NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS THAT COULD BE STEMMED FROM THIS. *TR
I BOUGHT THE CAR IN NOVEMBER OF 2011. NIT EVEN 3 MONTHS LATER, A VERY LOUD. CLUNKY NOISE STARTED EVERY TIME I GO OVER A BUMP NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL. I'VE BEEN TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD MY SWAY BAR LINKS, AS WELL AS MY OUTER TIE ROD ENDS ARE BAD. THEN ANOTHER SAID IT WAS MY BUSHINGS. I JUST WANT THE NOISE TO STOP AND WANT TO KNOW WHY IS THE CAR SOUND LIKE ITS FALLING APART? VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH CHEVROLET FOR. NOT THE BEST 1ST CAR. *TR
LOUD CLUNKING NOISE FROM FRONT SUSPENSION, REPLACED CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS AND NOISE WENT AWAY TEMPORARILY BUT CAME BACK. *TR
2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. CONSUMER STATES SEVERAL ISSUES WITH VEHICLE RELATED TO RECALLS *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE THE VEHICLE, FIVE SENSORS WERE BAD, THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. THE RPM'S JUMPED, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN CRUISE CONTROL MODE, THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON. THE CONSUMER HAD A DIFFICULT TIME STARTING THE VEHICLE, AFTER SHE FILLED THE TANK, THE VEHICLE WOULD STEER TO THE LEFT, AND THERE WERE TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD JUMP OUT OF GEAR. *JB
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY. THE CONTACT STATED THE FAILURE USUALLY OCCURRED WHEN DRIVING OVER 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE THE TECHNICIANS STATED THAT THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.
MY 2006 CHEVY COBALT HAD WHEEL BEARING ISSUES STARTING AT 40,000 MILES. AT 50,000 MILES MY FRONT END SUSPENSION (LOWER CONTROL ARM AND BUSHINGS), STRUTS, AND DOORS LOCKS STARTED ACTING UP. MY DOOR LOCKS WILL JAM AND I WILL BE TRAPPED IN MY CAR UNTIL THEY (DOOR LOCKS) DECIDE TO WORK AGAIN. FORTUNATELY FOR ME USUALLY ONLY ONE STOPS WORKING AT A TIME. THE DEALER SAYS THAT IT JUST NEEDS GREASING; I HAVE TRIED EVERY GREASE UNDER THE SUN AND NONE HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE A RECALL TO AT LEAST FIX THE DOORS!!!.THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE OVER $1,000 PER DOOR FOR REPAIRS. I HAVE HEARD OF SOME PEOPLES DOORS NEVER OPENING AGAIN AND THE DOOR HAVING TO BE CUT OFF TO BE REPAIRED. IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO QUICKLY AND SAFELY GET OUT OF THE CAR. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RECALL THIS DOOR ISSUE ON THE COBALT! *TR
VEHICLE HAS VARIOUS PROBLEMS WHICH STARTED WITH THE FUEL GAUGE GOING TO EMPTY NOT MATTER HOW MUCH FUEL THERE WAS, THIS ISSUE WAS NEVER FIXED PROPERLY. FRONT SUSPENSION RATTLES AND LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS ARE CRACKED, DIAGNOSED, BUT NOT REPAIRED BY CHEVROLET. INTERIOR DOME LIGHT HAS A SHORT AS DOES THE RADIO ,INTERMITTENT. ALSO PAINT IS PEELING OFF OF THE DOOR HANDLES, RADIO AND DASHBOARD CONTROL BUTTONS. AND JUST RECENTLY THERE IS AN ODOR OF GASOLINE COMING FROM SOMEWHERE ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS A LITTLE OVER 21,000 MILES ON IT.
2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. CONSUMER STATES ISSUES WITH POWER STEERING *TGW IN APRIL 2010, THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING MOTOR AND WHEN THE PART ARRIVED, IT WOULD BE FIXED FREE OF CHARGE. THE CONSUMER WENT TO THE DEALER AND THE RECALLED PART WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, IT ALSO CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO SLIP AND HARD BRAKING WHENEVER THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE APPEARED. THE CONSUMER INFORMED THE DEALER OF THE PROBLEM AND THE DEALER STATED IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER AGAIN. THE DEALER CLAIMED THE PROBLEM WAS THE CONTROL ARM BUSHING. THE DEALER REPLACED AN IM INSULATOR, LINK, LOOSE SWAY BAR BUSHING AND THE STEERING GEAR. THE CONSUMER STATED SHE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION, AND THE VEHICLE LOOSING POWER. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER AND THE MECHANIC STATED THE VEHICLE HAD AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. *JB
