| 2008 | POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION | I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2008 COBALT SPORT AND FROM THE FIRST FEW WEEKS THAT I GOT IT , TO THIS DAY, I FOUND THAT SOMETIMES WHEN GOING INTO THIRD OR FOURTH GEAR W/CLUTCH FULLY ENGAGED THERE IS A VIBRATION AND NOTICEABLE GRINDING WHILE ENGAGING INTO GEAR, IT IS ALSO VERY DIFFICULT TO GET INTO 2ND GEAR IN VERY COLD WEATHER. *TR |
| 2006 | STEERING | AS OF LAST WEEK, I HAVE HAD STEERING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 CHEVY COBALT. I WILL BE DRIVING AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND I AM NOT ABLE TO STEER SAFELY. IF I SHUT MY CAR OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON, THE STEERING WORKS FINE BUT ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME. THE FIRST DAY I WOULD BE ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN FOR A LITTLE WHILE BEFORE THE STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN, BUT NOW IT IS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY - ONE WEEK LATER. CURRENTLY, THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE STEERING PROBLEMS FOR THIS ELECTRIC STEERING SYSTEM, BUT I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. I HAVE ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR TWO YEARS, AND ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL SYSTEM DUE TO A CRACK AND LEAK. I AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO REPLACING MY STEERING SYSTEM AS WELL! *TR |
