| 2005 | SUSPENSION | TOOK MY CAR TO DEALER BECAUSE OF BAD CLUNKING IN FRONT END. THEY REPLACED THE BUSHINGS (WHILE UNDER WARRANTY). NOW (58000 MI) I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE CLUNKING IS MUCH WORSE?! SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE COBALTS. SEEMS THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF RECALL WITH ALL THESE COMPLAINTS BEFORE THERE IS A HORRIFIC ACCIDENT!!!! ALSO (I HAVE THE 2 DOOR) THERE IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH THE DOORS NOT WORKING! ALL THE SUDDEN YOU TRY TO GET IN AND THE HANDLE MOVES BUT DOES NOT OPEN! I WOULD HAVE TO ENTER/EXIT ON PASSENGER SIDE! I HAVE HAD PARTS TO THIS REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES NOW. THIS TOO COULD ALSO BE VERY DANGEROUS IF IN AN ACCIDENT! I AM STILL HAPPY WITH MY CAR BUT NOT WITH THE SAME ONGOING ISSUES THAT COULD LEAD TO POTENTIAL DISASTER! *TR |
| 2006 | STEERING | I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AT 25 MILES PER HOUR AND A WARNING SIGNAL WAS HEARD AND THEN THE DIGITAL DISPLAY READ POWER STEERING AND I COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL. GOT IT HOME, NARROWLY MISSING A CAR, AND TURNED IT OFF. TURNED IT BACK ON AGAIN AND WORKED FINE. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY, AND OFTEN. TOOK CAR TO LOCAL CHEVY DEALER, IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY AND CHEVY REFUSES TO PAY FOR IT. IT WILL COST $971 TO FIX. CAR IS UNSAFE AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR |
