| 2005 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | THE COBALT POWER STEERING RANDOMLY FAILS MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR THE DRIVER TO STEER. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN MANY INSTANCES, WITH MANY PEOPLE AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED VERY DANGEROUS. YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THERE IS NO WARNING BEFORE IT HAPPENS AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO PREVENT THE PROBLEM. DANGEROUS. *TR |
| 2007 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | I BEGAN SMELLING FUEL, ESPECIALLY PARKED ON AN INCLINE. I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK, AND WITNESSED LOOSING OVER 1/2 A TANK OF GAS! I AM TERRIFIED TO PUT MORE THAN 5 GALLONS OF GAS NOW. ANYTIME I PUT ANY AMOUNT OF GASOLINE IN, THE FUMES ARE VERY STRONG INSIDE AS WELL AS OUTSIDE OF MY VEHICLE. THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND I CANNOT EVEN GET THIS CAR INSPECTED SINCE I LIVE IN NORTH TEXAS (DENTON). I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS! THE ESTIMATE TO REPAIR WAS 1100.00 WHICH IS MORE THAN 25% OF IT'S VALUE. THEY SAID IT DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL. I BOUGHT THE CAR AND LIVE IN TEXAS. SO FAR I HAVE HAD THE STEERING ASSEMBLY REPLACED (RECALL) AS WELL AS THE WINDSHIELD (NOT A RECALL BUT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I AM SO TERRIFIED OF DYING IN THIS CAR AND NO ONE WANTS TO FIX IT FOR UNDER 1100.00! *TT |
