My car turned off while I was driving and almost caused me to crash into an 18 wheeler. Thank God I turned on my emergency signal and the truck swerved!. I would of died. I was stuck in the middle of the road and luckily some passersby helped me push it into a commercial parking area. I tried to start it again and it wouldn't start. But, when I turn my key into the off position, my car tried starting by itself. It was scary. It was checked by a mechanic, prior to this happening, because the car was hard to start. The mechanic told me to find out if there is a recall. However, I did some research and there was a recall on the ignition switch and fuel pump. The ignition switch was faulty causing the car to turn off while moving and two people died as a result. I entered the VIN # and it didn't show any recalls.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES FLUCTUATED AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE LOW FUEL, SERVICE TRACTION, POWER STEERING, AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER, SHUT IT OFF, AND RESTART IT ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. HOWEVER, THE FAILED RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS OPERABLE AGAIN AFTER BEING PARKED FOR HOURS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 61,000.

THE MORNING AFTER COMING BACK FROM A TRIP I WENT DOWN TO GET IN MY COLBALT AND FOUND MY LEFT FRONT TIRE FLAT. I GOT MY MANUAL OUT TO READ HOW TO CHANGE THE TIRE AND CHANGED IT. WE NOTICED THE SIZE DIFFERENCE IN THE TIRES RIGHT AWAY, REGULAR TIRE IS P205/55R16 H, THE SPARE IS A T115/70D15 M. THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL TIRES THAT CHEVROLET PUT ON THE CAR. THE MANUAL SAID WE COULD GO NORMAL SPEED. I DROVE A BLOCK TO GET THE TIRE FIXED AND TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK HOME. THE CAR DIPPED HORRIBLE AND DRAGGED WHEN I PULLED BACK INTO MY DRIVE WAY. IT ALSO MADE RUBBING SOUNDS. IT DID NOT FILL SAFE TO DRIVE. WE TOOK THE TIRE IN AND HAD IT FIXED WITHOUT THE CAR, BROUGHT IT HOME AND PUT IT BACK ON CAR. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CHEVROLET SINCE THEN TO SEE IF IT WAS AN ERROR ON THE SPARE. THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT IT IS THE RIGHT SPARE, ALTHOUGH A COUPLE OF THE PEOPLE THAT I HAVE TALKED TO THOUGHT IT WAS BAD TO HAVE A 15 INCH SPARE WITH 16 INCH TIRES. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT WHAT I NEED TO DO IS IF THE FLAT IS ON THE FRONT I'M SUPPOSE TO CHANGE TWO TIRES. THEY TOLD ME TO PUT A BACK TIRE ON THE FRONT AND THE SPARE ON THE BACK, WHICH IS NOT THE DIRECTION IN THE MANUAL. THEY TOLD ME I CAN GO 50 MPH AND GET THE TIRE FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. SO NOW OUT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY THEY WANT ME TO CHANGE TWO TIRES AND HAVE THE BACK OF MY CAR DIP HORRIBLY. I FEEL THIS SPARE IS UNSAFE BECAUSE IT IS SMALLER THEN THE TIRES IT IS REPLACING. IT MAKES THE CAR TILT SO YOU CAN'T DRIVE AT SAFE SPEEDS NOT TO SAY THE DAMAGE YOU CAN DO TO YOUR CAR. I LEAVE IN A RURAL AREA AND SOME OF THE ROADS DON'T HAVE ENOUGH SHOULDER TO CHANGE ONE SPARE LET ALONE TWO.

MY DRIVERS DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE FOR 3 DAYS ABOUT MAY 15TH-18TH. I TRIED ALL THE "TRICKS" AND NOTHING WORKED. I FINALLY AM ABLE TO OPEN IT BUT THE DOOR HAMDLE BROKE OFF SHORTLY AFTER. AND NOW TODAY 6/6/19 MY DRIVER DOOR WONT LATCH EVERY TIME I CLOSE IT EVEN AFTER DEGREASING ANE REGREASING THE LATCH. ALSO MY TORSION BARS AND STEERING BAR HAVE BEEN REPLACED BUT THEY ONCE AGAIN HAVE COME LOOSE. THE DOORS HAPPEN IN PARK INNA DRIVEWAY AMD THE CAR SWAYING ISSUE I FEEL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO SAFETY PRE-INSPECTION STICKER WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM DEL CHEVROLET (1644 LANCASTER AVE, PAOLI, PA 19301, (484) 324-4265). AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE FAILED INSPECTION. THE INSPECTION SHOP INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED REPLACEMENT, THE VEHICLE NEEDED AN ALIGNMENT, FOUR NEW TIRES, AND A NEW LOWER CONTROL ARM AND BALL JOINT. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE STALLED ON MORE THAN ONCE OCCASION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V171000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, 14E021000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM), AND 14V047000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

OEM headlights had become dim and one could no longer be aimed, so I ordered these replacements through Amazon. I paid $92 to have them installed, and the mechanic let me know that the high beams could not be activated, except by holding the turn signal, making it dangerous to steer. In addition, when the headlights are on they create so much RF, the radio no longer gets most AM or FM stations. The mechanic confirmed, they are wired incorrectly, but did not wish to attempt to rewire them.

HEADLIGHTS FAILING WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF REPLACEMENT. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. LOW BEAM. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH SIDE AT LEAST 3 TIMES IN LAST 75,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THERE WAS A SUDDEN INCREASE IN ENGINE RPM. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY COULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE ONCE THE KEY WAS STUCK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THERE WAS A NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 09V073000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT) BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED; THEREFORE, THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO COVER THE REPAIR COSTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE TWO DOORS UNLOCKED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT DID NOT SPECIFY WHICH TWO DOORS EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE.

POWER DOOR LOCKS ARE DEFECTIVE. MY COBALT LOCKS GO UP AND DOWN BY THEMSELVES THE SWITCHES OR FOB WILL WORK. BY DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE SEEM TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IT IS DEFECTIVE AND GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ABOUT THIS. *TR

NOTICED FRONT END SHAKING. WORST AT SPEEDS 40-50 MPH BUT NOTICEABLE AT ALL SPEEDS. MECHANIC TOLD ME METAL BAND INSIDE THE TIRE IS BROKEN AND TIRE TREAD IS DAMAGED DUE TO IT. MECHANIC WOULD NOT LET ME DRIVE UNTIL TIRE IS REPLACED, AND SAID HE WAS SURPRISED IT HAD NOT BLOWN ALREADY.

MY TIRES CONSISTENTLY LOSE AIR AT AN ACCELERATED RATE. DESPITE REPLACING ALL TIRES, THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT REPLACING THE RIMS WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I FEEL THAT THIS RECOMMENDATION IS PREMATURE GIVEN THE AGE OF THE CAR. THE RIMS SHOULD NOT HAVE CORRODED SO MUCH TO THE POINT WHERE I HAVE TO REPLACE THEM AFTER 5 YEARS. I HAVE TO PUMP AIR INTO MY TIRES 2 TIMES A WEEK TO MAINTAIN A SAFE PRESSURE FOR DRIVING. *TR

I WAS UNAWARE OF THIS FOR MONTHS BECAUSE I SELDOM HAVE OTHERS IN MY CAR. ON JULY 18TH 2014,THE DRIVERS WINDOW WOULD NOT WORK.
