| 2005 | SUSPENSION | 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 |
| 2005 | SUSPENSION:FRONT | FEELS LIKE AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. RATTLING FRONT END NOISE FOR A FEW MONTHS AND WITH MY 60K MI CHECK UP IT'S DISCOVERED THAT I NEED 2 LOWER CONTROL ARMS (THE BUSHINGS ARE GONE) AND NEED TO REPLACE THE FRONT STRUTS AND REAR SHOCKS AS THEY ARE LEAKING. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED A CHEVROLET AND FIND THIS APPALLING. MY COBALT IS ONLY 3 YRS OLD AND NEEDS TO REPLACE MAJOR EQUIPMENT. I HAD AN OLD CHEVY AND NEVER HAD TO SEE A REPLACEMENT LIKE THIS UNTIL I HAD OVER 100K MI ON THE VEHICLE. I CANNOT FIND ANY RECALLS ON THESE PARTS, BUT SEE MANY COMPLAINTS. EVEN THE DEALERSHIP THOUGHT I SHOULD GET RID OF THE CAR??????? GIVEN THE CURRENT TIMES, WHO COULD AFFORD THAT. SO NOW I AM LOOKING AT AN ESTIMATE OF $1821.40 TO FIX THIS. WHEN IS GM GOING TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR |
