2006 Chevrolet Cobalt 2-DR

My 2006 Chevy Cobalt has a fuel leak which was recently a recall. I have been told by several dealerships that it will not be repaired for free. How can this be? I didn't know recalls expired. It's a safety issue and the manufacturer's responsibility. Please advise me on next steps.

Hi. I was driving to go shopping like I normally do speed limit was 45 mph. All of a sudden I noticed I was getting very close to the medium the 8-inch cement medium. I tried to turn the wheel more to the right but it was very hesitant and hard to do I ended up hitting the medium and it damaged the rear rim on that wheel and the tire afterwards just made a loud thumping noise it was a very scary situation. It was then I noticed it said power steering lit up on the dashboard nitro it back home and then the light on off and the steering was okay again which was very scary and strange it happened one more time when I was turning the corner and I almost hit someone because I could not turn the wheel like it normally turned it took a lot of effort this is a very scary situation as this is the only vehicle I have for transportation it's not normal do you have the steering just instantly either stop or is very hard to turn. Thank you

Last year or so, even before than, I noticed suddle fuel odor smell & noticed few drops by left rear wheel area...it has progressingly gotten worse and now puddles and smells of fuel constantly...all which I traced back to fuel lines by rear exhaust heat shield area where it's very rusty, inline elsewhere around car area...seems to be bad design and or manufacturing issue...also very common I noticed with cobalt saturn Pontiac models sharing same design & platform.. Very dangerous and needs to be corrected by gm!

My headlight an blinker quit working new bulbs an all new wiring it it still will not work My trunk button also just stopped working an the fuse is not blown. I even replaced it just to make sure still nothing. Door panel clips won’t stay in bought new ones same thing so now my handle is coming apart an my door doesn’t want to shut bc it thinks I’m still holding the handle.. Fuel everytime I get gas I have to crank my car a few times and press on the gas before I can get it to go otherwise it just dies on me I’ve had it looked at they said it was something about how my car does not know when to stop releasing air I think. My blinkers don’t turn off unless I do it manually. The seals on my door is no good anytime it rains it’s coming inside of my car an since the door panel won’t stay on it’s coming straight into my car

The contact's daughter owns a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the power steering would intermittently fail as the power steering warning message would appear on the instrument panel. The contact stated that his daughter would reset the battery to correct the power steering; however, the failure would always return. The contact had taken the vehicle to several dealers to be repaired; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact then took the vehicle to Mohawk Chevrolet (639 NY-67, Ballston Spa, NY 12020) where it remained in their possession. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000.

I began noticing a slight drop in fuel mileage at first. Started smelling fuel while parked and only getting 200 miles to a tank. Noticed the supply and return fuel lines where damp. Dropped the tank and the fuel lines at the pump were cracked a little. I temporarily fixed thos with jb weld but dont expect it to last.

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel inadvertently lost power. The power steering warning light illuminated. The contact veered to the side of the road and turned off the vehicle for a moment. Then the contact restarted the vehicle and she was able to drive to her residence. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who advised the contact that they could not diagnose the vehicle as the OBD reader was unable to read the codes. The contact notified the dealer of the failure and scheduled an appointment for the diagnostic test on the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 126,000.

While driving power steering message showed on dash, lost transmission control, and speedometer stopped working.

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the power steering assist failed to operate as the power steering warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact also stated that the speedometer also failed to operate as needed. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

The vehicle will often lose power steering and begin to "buck" or "jolt" when braking. The door chime will sound and the display will flash "POWER STEERING" when this occurs. The speedometer and other gauges will go crazy and won't accurately state how fast you are driving. Sometimes when this happens, the steering wheel will become very difficult to move and it is almost impossible to turn. Sometimes the car will just buck when braking, sometimes the steering completely gives out. My car has even stalled and stopped running while driving - I am unsure if this is related to the problem. Any of these issues are extremely dangerous and could cause an accident. There is a recall on this vehicle for the power steering system, but Chevrolets own website claims my vehicle does NOT have any recalls (according to my VIN). I have never brought this car in for repair (for the recall) and to my knowledge, none of the previous owners have either. Upon researching, many others seem to have this problem as well with GM telling them their car does not have a recall. This has been going on for a long time, and no mechanic or anyone I bring it to can tell me what's wrong.

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle was shaking and loss motive power. The power steering became inoperable. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and the local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 126,000.

The contact's daughter owns a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the power steering failed, and the steering wheel was difficult to turn. Additionally, the door locks would lock and unlock independently, and the speedometer was not functioning properly. The electric power steering warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 155,000.

Fuel lines are rusted where the heat tape is around them by the exhaust. This has caused them to rust and no is leaking fuel. I am worried that it's going to catch fire. This is my daughter's car and is a very poor design.

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt. The contact stated that after turning off the vehicle, there was an abnormal fuel odor coming from the vehicle. Upon inspection, the contact discovered severe corrosion on the rear driver’s side undercarriage of the vehicle. Due to the rust, the fuel lines started leaking. The local dealer was contacted and informed the contact that the Vin was not under recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 126,000.

There is a recall for some vin numbers on the 2006 Chevy cobalt (recall # 09V419000). My vin number was not included but the exact recalled part was also defective on my car. I wanted to let you know because there are probably several more vins that should be included in this recall, as my car is proof of that.

HAD TO CHANGE MY FUEL PUMP DUE TO A CRACK ON IT. MY KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ORDER TO TAKE IT OUT I HAVE TO PUSH A BUTTON UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL. I TO CHANGE MY STEERING SHAFT BECAUSE IT DOES A CLACKING NOISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, HE STARTED TO SMELL A FUEL ODOR. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V419000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 94,000.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS DO NOT WORK AND ELECTRIC POWER STEERING DOSE NOT WORK

FUEL LINE LEAK BY LEFT REAR WHEEL WELL. HEAT SHIELD SEEMS TO CAPTURE MOISTURE AND HAS RUSTED LINE BY CLIP. RESULTS IN FUEL LEAK BY EXHAUST SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT, HE HEARD THE VEHICLE CHIME AS THE POWER STEERING WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT THEN STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING BECAME FIRM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. A VIN SEARCH SHOWED NO OPEN RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT LINKED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V073000 (STEERING). NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY, CAR WENT DEAD> HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY STOP. POWER STEERING WENT OUT, BUT AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR IT WAS OK. IT KEEPS HAPPENING OFF AND ON- ON OCCASIONS. I KEPT SMELLING GAS, TOOK IT TO CAR REPAIR SHOP WAS TOLD I COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE, WAS TOLD THE GAS TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED OR WHATEVER THE PART INSIDE THE GAS TANK. NOTE: WHEN THE POWER STEERING PROBLEM ARRIVED I WAS LEAVING GOING TO WORK. I STARTED THE CAR BUT THE STEERING WAS HARD TO TURN SO I PULLED BACK INTO PARKING SPACE AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. I RESTARTED AFTER A FEW MINUTES-WAS ABLE TO STEER OK. UPON SMELLING GAS THIS WENT ON FOR SERVAL DAYS. I THOUGHT IT WAS FUMES FROM OTHER CARS. I WOULD SMELL GAS WHILE DRIVING IT. ONE DAY AS I PULLED UP TO WORK I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND NOTICED SOMETHING WET NEXT TO MY FRONT TIRE. I COULD SMELL GAS FUMES. I TOOK IT TO REPAIR SHOP THE NEXT DAY. SHOP TOLD ME THE CAR COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE.

THE COMPANY WRAPPED A HEAT SHIELD FIBER AROUND A BARE METAL FUEL LINE CAUSING PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE LINE IN THAT SPECIFIC LOCATION DUE TO RUST FROM THE TRAPPED MOISTURE. THE FUEL LINE BURSTS CAUSING A STEADY FLOW OF GASOLINE TO POUR FROM BENEATH THE VEHICLE CAUSING AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. THE CAR CONTINUES TO FUNCTION, LEAVING A TRAIL OF GASOLINE EVERYWHERE YOU GO. THE HEAT WRAP DOES NOT APPEAR TO AFFECT THE BRAKE LINE DUE TO IT'S BLACK COATING. THE FUEL LINES SHOULD ALSO BE PROTECTED IN THIS AREA.

POWER STEERING WARNING CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AN THE SPEEDOMETER STOP WORKING NOW THE CAR WON'T START I HAVE CHECKED FUSES AN RELAYS UNHOOKED BATTERY TO RESET COMPUTER NOTHING WORKS

VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL STARTED OCCURRING THAT WAS NOTICEABLE EVEN AFTER LONG PERIODS AFTER PARKING. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION A FUEL LEAK WAS DISCOVERED ON THE OUTLET OF THE FUEL PUMP WHICH IS INTEGRAL TO THE FUEL TANK. IT APPEARS THERE IS A CRACK OR SOME SORT OF DEFECT CAUSING THE EXTERIOR PIECE ON THAT FUEL PUMP TO FAIL. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 64,300 MILES ON IT.

MY VEHICLE, A 2006 CHEVY COBALT LT, LIKE MANY OTHER CHEVY COBALTS I'VE FOUND IN MY RESEARCH, HAS A FUEL LEAK IN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE. I HAVE NOT PINPOINTED THE EXACT LEAK LOCATION BUT I HAVE A PICTURE DISPLAYING THE FUEL LINE COVERED IN WHAT SEEMS LIKE AN ALUMINUM FOIL TO KEEP THE LINES FROM HEATING UP. CLEARLY THIS DOESN'T WORK. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND I BELIEVE IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

PLASTIC FUEL TANK CRACKED AND FUEL IS DRIPPING FROM VEHICLE IMPOSING A POTENTIAL FIRE AND HAZARD.

I EXPLAINED TO HER ON 7-15-20, I LEFT FOR WORK BUT NOTICED MY POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I WAS AFRAID I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE THE TURN ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY BECAUSE OF THE STEERING. I WENT AND PURCHASED POWER STEERING FLUID, ONLY TO LEARN THERE WAS NO PLACE TO PUT IT. STEPHANIE AND I LOOKED AT THE RECALLS TOGETHER. WE DISCUSSED THE NUMEROUS RECALLS SHE SAW ALONG WITH ME. SHE SET-UP A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT HERE IN CONWAY, ARK WERE I NOW RESIDE FOR 7-23-20 @ 7:00AM. SUPERIOR DEALERSHIP. I ARRIVED AND (LISA) ASKED IF I HAD AN APPOINTMENT, I SAID YES.

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG BECAUSE IT IS SHOWING IT'S OFF, SO I KNOW IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT IT WILL NOT DEPLOY. I BELIEVE THE RECALLS I SAW ON THE SITE WERE LEGIT RECALLS. I'M NOT CERTAIN HOW THEY DISAPPEARED FROM THE SITE WHEN I SHOWED UP FOR MY APPOINTMENT ONLY A FEW DAYS LATER. I WAS TOLD I COULD PAY THE $150 BECAUSE THEIR TECHS HAD TO BE PAID OR GET RID OF THE CAR.

SOMETIME THE KEY WILL GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND I HAVE THE STEERING COLUMN COVER OFF SO I CAN PUSH THE WHITE BUTTON TO RELEASE THE KEY.

"TAKATA RECALL" THE CAR CUTS OFF AS I'M DRIVING, OR SLOWING DOWN, THE IGNITION SWITCH DOESN'T WORK TOO WELL, IT ALSO STALLS, GOES LONG PERIODS OF TIME WHERE IT WON'T START OR EVEN TURN OVER. MY POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT COMES NEARLY EVERYTIME I DRIVE BUT ALL MY FLUIDS IN THE CAR ARE FULL, SO IT MAKES DRIVING KINDA SCARY. IT JUST FEELS UNSAFE AND I WASN'T AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS AND SITUATIONS WHEN I HAD GOTTEN THE 2006 COBALT. PLEASE HELP.

AIR BAG LIGHTS COME ON CAR IS HARD TO STEER AIR CONDITIONING DOES NOT WORK ANY MORE AND I GET AN ENGINE REDUCE POWER LIGHT COMES ON

"TAKATA RECALL" ON 3/30/18 I WAS INVOLVED IN A WRECK. I WAS TRAVELING ON A BUSY CITY STREET WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED RED. I STOPPED AND THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME WAS DRIVING A LARGE SUV. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND TRAFFIC BEGAN TO MOVE I STARTED DRIVING. OUT OF NOWHERE WITH NO WARNING, THE DRIVER JUST STOPPED AND MY CAR RAN INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. WE BOTH STAYED IN OUR VEHICLES I CALLED 911. OFFICERS ARRIVED AND EMERGENCY SERVICES. EVEN THOUGH HARDLY ANY DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE SUV, MY CAR SUSTAINED A LOT OF DAMAGE TO THE HOOD AND BUMPER OF MY CAR. THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS TOTALED BY LOOKING AT IT. I WAS ABLE TO HAVE MOST OF MY CAR REPAIRED OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE I HAD LIABILITY ONLY AT THE TIME. THE PASSENGER IN FRONT OF ME AFTER GIVING INFORMATION TO THE RESPONDERS WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY, I WAS NOT. I'VE ALSO HAD ANOTHER ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY IN 2014. I AM CONCERNED THAT I MIGHT BE IN ANOTHER ACCIDENT THAT COULD BE LIFE-THREATENING AND THE AIRBAGS WON'T WORK. I CONTACTED GM ABOUT MY CONCERNS REGARDING THE AIRBAGS AND NOTHING WAS DONE TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS CHECKED. I WAS ABLE TO HAVE THE SWITCH CHANGED WHEN THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT. I HOPE BY SHARING MY EXPERIENCE WITH YOU SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS CHECKED AND GIVE ME A SENSE OF SECURITY WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE.

LOSS OF STEERING CAPABILITIES. CAR WILL NOT STEER WHILE DRIVING.

EVERY TIME IT GETS TOO HOT OUTSIDE MY POWER STEERING COMES ON IN MY CAR SWITCH MAKES IT JERK THE CAR AND MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON...THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING AND WHEN IT'S STATIONARY. WHEN IT'S STATIONARY IT LOCKS MY STEERING WHEEL AND IT'S MOVING IT MAKES THE CAR JERK

FOR THE PAST THREE DAYS DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK MY CHEVY COBALT HAS BEEN PUTTING ME IN DANGER. WHEN I START TO BREAK, SOMETIMES THE SYMBOL WITH A LOCK AND KEY, AND AIR BAG LIGHTS WILL TURN ON AND THE CAR STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK AND THE BRAKES WOULD COME UP RESULTING IN THE CAR BEING TURNED OFF WHILE I AM ON DRIVE. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I CANNOT TURN THE WHEEL AND THE BRAKE IS ALSO LOCKED. I GET OUT OF MY CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC TO PUSH IT BY MYSELF THEN JUMP IN IT AND TRY TO START IT. THIS METHOD WORKS SOMETIMES BUT IS DANGEROUS TO NOT ONLY MYSELF BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY OTHERS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS THE MAIN CAUSE FOR THIS ISSUE HOWEVER I DID SOME RESEARCH AND DID NOT SEE ANY RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. I NEED HELP FINGERING IT OUT BEFORE I HURT MYSELF OR OTHERS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD DRIVING UNABLE TO STEER OR BREAK

YOU WILL THEN HEAR A CLICKING SOUND AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING BAD. THE CAR WILL JERK FORWARD REALLY HARD AND AS YOU BRING THE CAR TO A STOP, THE CAR WILL SHAKE AND YOU WILL HEAR ALL KINDS OF RATTLING. THE GAUGES ON THE DASH WILL ALL JUMP UP & DOWN! AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF THE SPEED YOU'RE GOING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AS WELL AS THE CAR WITH THE LOCK LIGHT. SOMETIMES THE STEERING WHEEL WILL UNLOCK ITSELF BUT YOU WILL ALSO HAVE ALL OF THE OTHER SYMPTOMS. AS I STATED EARLIER IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY SO I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY PULL OVER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT! IF YOU ATTEMPT TO KEEP DRIVING IT THERE'S A CHANCE THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND YOU WILL LOSE CONTROL OF THE GAS PEDAL AND BRAKE PEDAL. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY STATED THE CAR HAD ALREADY BEEN FIXED AND I GOT IT AFTER THE WARRANTY SO IT'S ALL IN MY HANDS. WHY DOES THE CUSTOMER HAVE TO LITERALLY PAY FOR THE MISTAKES OF THE COMPANY I'VE LITERALLY READ THOUSANDS OF REVIEWS OF PEOPLE HAVING THESE SAME ISSUES. IT'S AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CAR!!

THE POWER STEERING FAILS SPECIALLY RIGHT AFTER YOU START UP IT'S HARD TO TURN. THEN SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND MAKE IT TURN IT GETS HARD TO TURN ALL OF A SUDDEN WHICH COULD POSSIBLY LEAD TO A WRECK. SO FAR WE HAVE NOT BEEN IN A WRECK JUST A COUPLE OF CLOSE CALLS.

THE CAR WAS STARTED IN A PARKING LOT THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING WITH A DASH BOARD WARNING SHOWING AN ISSUE WITH POWER STEERING WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL STATIONARY. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN HOME THE CAR WAS VERY HARD TO MANEUVER TURNING OR CHANGING LANES AT LOW SPEEDS. AFTER PARKING THE CAR IT SAT FOR TWO HOURS.

THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

FUEL LINES CORRODED THROUGH LEAKING ENOUGH GAS THAT A PUDDLE WOULD FORM UNDER THE VEHICLE BY THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE WHEN STOPPED. WHEN TOWED TO THE DEALER THE FUEL STARTED LEAKING BY ONLY TURNING THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION WITHOUT STARTING THE CAR.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASH, AFTERWARDS THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED TO MALFUNCTION AND THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AS IF IT WANTED TO GO OFF. WITH SOME DIFFICULTY I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY SAFELY BUT HAD TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND THEN RESTART THE CAR IN ORDER FOR THE MESSAGE TO GO OFF AND THE CAR TO DRIVE NORMAL ONCE AGAIN.

TAMARA RECALL I HAVE A FUEL LEAK AND IT IS SPILLING OUT AT MY RESIDENCE WHEN I STARTED SMELLING GAS.W HEN I DROVE IT TO WORK GAS WAS SPILLING OUT LIKE WATER.

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND MY POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WAS TOUGH TO STEER UNTIL THE LIGHT WENT OUT . IT HAPPENED TWICE, ONCE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND ONCE TURNING ONTO A SIDE ROAD. I KNOW THAT THIS IS A RECALL ON 2006 COBALT, BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED MY CAR WAS INVOLVED IN THIS. WHEN I RUN MY VIN NUMBER ON THIS SITE, IT STATES THAT MY CAR HAS NO RECALLS ON IT. HOWEVER, I HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF RECALLS ON MY CAR WHICH WERE REPAIRED. BUT THIS WAS NOT ONE OF THEM.

THERE IS A TERRIBLE GAS FUME SMELL FROM INSIDE THE CAR. IT IS STRONGER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE FUEL TANK IS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ALSO ON, AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 125,500 MILES.

MY CAR HAS NO POWER STEERING AND I REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP

INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND REDUCED POWER WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR WILL DRIVE FINE AND THE NEXT YOU START IT UP ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME ON AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COME ON AND THE GAUGES START JUMPING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND "POWER STEERING" WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

VEHICLE KEEPS STALLING AND SHUTTING DOWN WHEN TURNING OR A SPEED BUMP. WAS INFORMED IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. *TR

VEHICLE DEVELOPED AT RATTLING NOISE IN THE STEERING COLUMN WHEN DRIVING OVER ROUGH ROAD SURFACES. I BELIEVE IT IS RELATED TO A PLASTIC GEAR INSIDE THE COLUMN THAT OTHERS ON THE INTERNET HAVE DESCRIBED. RECENTLY IT HAS DEVELOPED INTO A VERY LOUD RATTLE ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE THAT IS HEARD AND FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL ONLY WHEN BRAKING MODERATELY. LIGHT OR HEAVY BRAKING SEEM TO NOT CAUSE THIS, SO FAR. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE PROBLEM MAY EVENTUALLY RESULT IN THE FAILURE COMPLETELY OF THE STEERING COLUMN. THIS WOULD RESULT IN THE INABILITY FOR THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MOTOR TO ASSIST IN TURNING THE WHEEL, AND THUS THE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR. OR I AM AFRAID IT COULD RESULT IN THE COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING ALL TOGETHER.

WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR SYMPTOMS, MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT AS I WAS MAKING A TURN. IT STARTLED ME AND CAUSED ME TO HIT A CURB. LUCKILY, IT WAS A SLOW TURN AND I WAS NOT DRIVING VERY FAST. I NOW HAVE NO POWER STEERING.

BOUGHT CAR IN 2016 FROM SILVER EAGLE AUTO MALL IN MISSOURI. CALL RANDOMLY CUTS OUT WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS IN ON HIGHWAY AND HAVE TO PULL OVER. HAVE THERE VERY CLOSE TO ACCIDENTS ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. BATTERY AN ALTERNATOR HAVE BEEN REPLACED IT DOES NOT JUST DIAL INDUSTRIAL BACK UP IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP. NOW AS OF AUGUST 1ST 2018 I AM CURRENTLY SMELLING STRONG GAS ONCE I GET OUT OF CAR WITH CHILDREN... CAN SMELL A LOT FROM DRIVER SIDE IT MAY SEEM ALSO THIS CAR HAS STARTED SMELLING LIKE GAS OUTSIDE OF CAR CAR WON'T START SOMETIMES I'M PLAYING MULTIPLE TURNS WITH KEYS AND IS NOW CUTTING OUT EVEN MORE WHILE DRIVING... BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT FAR AS RANDOM CUTTING OUT I DON'T KNOW WHERE THE SMELL IS COMING FROM IT IS NOT FROM UNDER HOOD....

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND I NOTICED A STRONG FUEL ODOR COMING FROM MY CAR. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. LEFT THE CAR RUNNING AND SAW A HUGE PUDDLE OF FUEL DRIPPING DOWN ONTO THE GROUND FROM THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. ONE OF THE LINES RIGHT AT THE FITTING INTO THE FUEL PUMP IS CRACKED. THEY HAVE THIS ALREADY RECALLED, BUT ONLY IN 15 STATES AND MINE ISN'T ONE OF THEM. I WANT CHEVY TO ISSUE A 50 STATE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. MY CAR COULD OF CAUGHT FIRE AND I COULD OF DIED. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. A YEAR AGO I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL LINES FROM THE FUEL FILTER TO THE FUEL RAIL IN THE ENGINE BECAUSE THE METAL TUBING RUSTED OUT AND CRACKED. THEY NEED TO BE STAINLESS STEEL NOT POT METAL. THEIR IS NO RECALL ON THOSE FUEL LINES, BUT I READ LOTS OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. I DON'T HAVE ANY PHOTOS ONLY VIDEO OF IT DRIPPING.

I ALREADY HAD A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP OR MODULAR AND THEN ON THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ON. THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO GO OFF EVEN WHEN THEY DID THOSE REPAIRS, THEN ONE DAY THE TURN SIGNALS STOPPED TURNING OFF AFTER MAKING A TURN. THE NEWEST PROBLEM AND THE SCARIEST ONE TO ME IS NOW A GAS LEAK. I WENT OUT AND STARTED MY CAR, STARTED TO REVERSE AND THEN SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF GAS. I STOPPED AND NOTICED MY GAS GAUGE ACTUALLY GOING DOWN. SO I SHUT THE CAR OFF HURRIED UP AND GOT MY KIDS OUT AND THEN SAW THE GAS POURING ON THE ROAD FROM UNDER MY CAR. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE PROBLEMS THAT I'VE HAD WITH THIS CAR. CHEVY NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE PROBLEMS. IT'S THEIR CHEAP MISTAKES. THE ONLY REASON I HAVE CONTINUED TO KEEP THE CAR IS BECAUSE IT BELONGED TO MY LITTLE BROTHER WHO DIED IN A TRAGIC CAR CASH WITH HIS PREGNANT FIANC AND MY FATHER. SO I HAVEN'T WANTED TO PART WITH IT. I HAVE SEEN THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AND APPARENTLY THERE WAS RECALLS FOR SOME OF THESE PROBLEMS ON OTHERS BUT NOT FOR MY VIN. HOW IS THAT RIGHT? THEY NEED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS AND THEY NEED TO FIX EVERYTHING CORRECTLY THIS TIME. I NEED HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM, I'M NOT SURE WHERE ELSE TO TURN AT THIS POINT.

TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON . DIFFICULT TO CONTROL CAR DUE TO ROUGH YEAR SHIFTING, LOSE POWER STEERING . CAR EVENTUALLY LOSES POWER.DANGEROUS CANNOT GET OUT OF TRAFFIC WITHOUT CAUSING ACCIDENT. TURN OFF CAR AND RESTART ALL LIGHTS ARE OFF AND SEEMS OK BUT WILL RANDOMLY HAPPEN AGAIN-- TWO TIMES IN SAME WEEK!!!! THIS IS CRAZY, AFRAID TO DRIVE VEHICLE BUT HAVE NO CHOICE CANNOT LOSE MY JOB.

SINCE THIS CAR HAS BEEN PURCHASED IT HAS HAD MANY PROBLES STERRING TIRES, SUSPENSIONS, AC .....SO COMPLICATED BUT LAST YEAR ONCE AN THIS YEAR AGAIN THE STEERING WHEEL HAS GOTTEN LOCKED COMPLETLY WHILE DRIVING ....IN MAY ANOTHER INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THE GAS/ACCELATERTOR STAY DOWN AND COULDNT STOPP CAR ....HAVE TAKEN IT TO GET FIXED MANY TIMES ALREADY

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON. I LOST STEERING CONTROL AND MY CAR STARTED SHIFTING ROUGH AND EVENTUALLY MY POWER DEMINISHED. NOW COMES ON PERIODICALLY FOR A COUPLE DAYS THEN WILL GO OFF AND DRIVE FINE. ALSO MY AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON FOR PASSENGER AND SHOWS IT TO BE OFF. HAS DONE THIS SINCE I BOUGHT IT.

I HAD NOTICED A SMELL OF FUEL COMING FROM MY VEHICLE SHORTLY AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, OR IF IT WAS IDLING IN ONE SPACE FOR QUITE SOME TIME. THIS SMELL OF FUEL DEVELOPED INTO A FUEL DRIP ON TO THE GROUND. RESEARCHED THE CONCERN ONLINE, AND FOUND THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR THIS CONCERN, BUT NOT FOR THE STATE I AM CURRENTLY IN. THERE IS A "SPECIAL COVERAGE" ISSUED (BULLETIN 12191B) INSTEAD FOR MY STATE WHICH STATES I CAN HAVE THIS CONCERN FIXED FREE OF CHARGE. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER, THEY CONFIRMED I AM COVERED BY THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE. THE DEALER HAS NOW DENIED TO DO THE WORK AND FORCED ME TO PAY FOR A TOW TO A DIFFERENT DEALER TO HAVE THE CONCERN FIXED, AS THEY REFUSED TO CARRY OUT THE REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

FUEL LINE RUSTED OUT ON DRIVERS SIDE BECAUSE OF HEAT WRAP

PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. IGNITION SHUTS CAR OFF WHEN HITTING BUMPS AS WELL AS NOT TURNING OFF COMPLETELY WHEN PARKED. FRONT RIGHT WHEEL BEARINGS CONTINUE TO FAIL, REPLACED 3 TIMES IN 3 YEARS.

FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE WITH TCM/ECM/PCM. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED SEVERAL OCCURANCES WHERE DRIVING THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAZARDOUS. BECAUSE OF EITHER THE WIRING OR THE TCM ITSELF, I, THE CONSUMER, HAVE NEARLY BEEN IN 2 ACCIDENTS. AT FIRST I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MODULE. REPLACED THAT AND PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED. WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS, THE GAUGES JUMP UP AND DOWN AND COMPLETELY STOP WORKING (SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER), TRANSMISSION SHIFTS EXTREMELY HARD WHEN ACCELERATING, POWER STEERING ILLUMINATES IN THE DATA INFORMATION BOX WHICH IN TURN CAUSES LOSS OF POWER STEERING (REPLACED POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR, ISSUE STILL HAPPENS, 1 OCCURANCE OF LOOSING POWER STEERING AND BEING ABLE TO STOP BEFORE GOING OFF THE SIDE A MOUNTAIN WHEN TRYING TO MANEUVER A RIGHT HAND TURN), CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES, WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE, REVERSE TO NEUTRAL, NEUTRAL TO DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES VERY HARD AND RESULTS IN AN AUDIBLE "CLUNK". 1 OCCURANCE OF VEHICLE SWITCHING GEARS INTO NEUTRAL FROM DRIVE, WHILE DRIVING (SHIFT LEVER STILL IN DRIVE POSITION),PASSLOCK LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATES IN DASH. VEHICLE CONSISTENLY ACTS AS IT IS GOING TO STALL (HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS DIM). CHECKED ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY, BOTH IN OPTIMAL WORKING CONDITION. PRESENTING DIAGNOSTIC CODE INCLUDE P0700 AND U0100. VEHICLE MAINTANENCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED AT 3,000 MILE INTERVALS BUT HAS BEEN PULLED OFF THE ROAD DUE TO THE 2 OCCURANCES OF NEAR ACCIDENTS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES FOR SEVERAL MONTHS PRIOR TO REMOVING IT FROM OPPERATION. I KNOW FOR A FACT, THIS COBALT IS NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS ISSUE.

GASOLINE LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK PORTS WHERE INLET AND OR OUTLET HOSES ARE CONNECTED. THE LEAK ORIGINATES FROM THE TANK CONNECTION, NOT FROM ANY SPECIFIC HOSE. IT AMOUNTS TO A GRAVITY LEAK OF FUEL FROM THE TANK WHEN IT IS FULL OR NEARLY SO. CHEVROLET HAS ISSUED SPECIAL COVERAGE #12191B TO MANAGE THE SAFETY DEFECT PRESUMABLY TO AVOID A NHTSA RECALL. MY VIN NUMBER, EVEN THOUGH IT FALLS WITHIN THE RANGE AFFECTED AND PRODUCTION TIME AND GEOGRAPHY, IS SAID TO BE NOT INCLUDED. SO WE HAVE FUEL LEAKING ONTO HOT EXHAUST PIPES INSIDE AN ENCLOSED GARAGE FROM A POORLY DESIGNED FUEL TANK AND FITTINGS. SEEMS TO BE A PR AND MONETARY EXPOSURE CHEVROLET WOULD NOT LIKE TO RISK. BUT STOCKHOLDERS RUN THE COMPANY NOW. THIS PROBLEM LIKELY ORIGINATED IN 2016 BASED ON REPORTS FROM OWNERS OF THE ENTIRE RUN OF COBALTS. THIS WILL KILL OWNERS AT SOME POINT IF IT HASN'T ALREADY.

GAS LEAK

TAKATA RECALL: I RECENTLY PURCHASED A VEHICLE FROM SOMEONE (PRIVATE OWNER) AND AS THE TAGS WILL SOON EXPIRE SO I DECIDE TO GET WHAT NEEDS MAINTENANCE DONE TO TURN THAT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OFF. I GOT A FREE ESTIMATE FROM O' REILLY'S AND TOLD ME TO GO TO CHEVY AND GET THE MAINTENANCE DONE TO MY SAFETY RECALLS. NEXT MORNING I DRIVE OVER TO CHEVY'S DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS DENIED ANY RECALL BEING DONE BY AN EMPLOYEE NAMED SEAN POPPLEWELL. I TOLD HIM TO PRINT ME OUT A PAPER OF WHAT HAD BEEN DONE, NEEDING TO BE DONE AND ALSO TOOK IT UP WITH THE MANAGER. THE SERVICE MANAGER CONFIRMS I CANNOT BE DENIED FOR A MAINTENANCE BUT SEES THAT THE ONLY MAINTENANCE OPEN ONLINE IS A SERVICE UPDATE AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO SALVAGED OR NOT. AS I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I AM BEING DENIED MY RIGHT TO A SAFETY RECALL, NOT ONLY BEING DENIED WHILE DRIVING MY 1 AND A HALF YEAR OLD SON, IN A VEHICLE WHO'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON DUE TO THE SAFETY RECALLS THAT I AM BEING DENIED TO. I AM WITHIN MY RIGHT TO 10 YEARS AFTER THE RECALL IS DISTRIBUTED TO GET THE RECALL DONE WITHIN THAT TIME, THEY ARE NOT ALLOWING ME TOO. THE CAR IS 100% DRIVEABLE BUT I NEED TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF SO I AM NOT DENIED IN MY SMOG TEST. I WAS ALSO NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE LAW STATES THAT I AM NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR A PREVIOUS OWNERS LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY, I WAS NOT AWARE, I'VE NEVER HAD RECEIVED PROPER NOTIFICATION I SHOULD NOT BE DENIED SERVICE. IT'S SAD TO KNOW THEY HAVE DENIED ME THESE RIGHTS IN FRONT OF MYSELF AND MY 1 AND A HALF YEAR OLD WHO IS IN THE CAR 24.7.

STARTED CAR EARLY IN THE MORNING 25 DEGREES OUT. NOTICE THAT SAYS "POWER STEERING " CAME ON ON THE DISPLAY. PULLED OUT OF DRIVEWAY, DIDN'T NOTICE ANY TROUBLE UNTIL I TRIED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL (NO POWER STEERING) . IT STAYED ON FOR ABOUT A HALF MILE ON NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS. THEN DISPLAY WAS GONE AND CAR DROVE FINE. I DROVE FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF, ON HIGHWAY ,AND PARKED FOR 6 HOURS. AGAIN, STARTED THE CAR AND "POWER STEERING " DISPLAYED AGAIN. NO POWER STEERING AGAIN. I WAS PARKED IN A PARKING STRUCTURE AND AFTER A COUPLE OF CORNERS THE DISPLAY WAS GONE. DROVE HOME ON FREEWAY, EVERYTHING WAS FINE. STOPPED A COUPLE OF TIMES WITH NO PROBLEM. PARKED. A COUPLE HOURS LATER HUSBAND DROVE TO THE GAS STATION THE ON NEIGHBORHOOD STREET. " POWER STEERING " DISPLAYED AGAIN, IT DID NOT SHOT OFF. GAS STATION WAS ONLY MILE ROUND TRIP. CAR STAYED PARKED FROM 5PM 12/10 TILL 12PM 12/11. NO POWER STEERING AGAIN FOR ABOUT 6 BLOCKS ON NEIGHBORHOOD ST.. WENT INTO STORE, LEFT NO POWER STEERING AGAIN. POWER STEERING CAME BACK JUST AFTER A BLOCK. NEIGHBORHOOD STREET.

POWER STEERING FAILURE AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DASHBOARD. CAR IS DRIVABLE BUT POWER STEERING FAILS OFTEN AT TIMES WHEN DRIVING. WAS ALMOST IN BAD CAR ACCIDENT IF I HAD NOT PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY.

A FEW YEARS AGO I HAD MY CAR SENT IN FOR THE RECALL THAT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF. NOW I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AGAIN! WHEN I COME TO A STOP OR SLOW DOWN AT AN INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF AND LOSE ALL POWER! I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH AND THIS IS STILL HAPPENING FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. MECHANICS CANNOT GIVE A FOR SURE ANSWER AS TO WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE CAUSING THIS ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE CAN MESS UP FROM EITHER DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE ON CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY THAT THE ENGINE STALLS AND SAYS "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALONG WITH THE T/C LIGHT COMES ON. IT HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES IN JUST 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING, MORE FOR LONGER TRIPS. IT WILL EVEN DO IT IN 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING. YOU HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN VEHICLE OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN IT DRIVES FINE FOR MAYBE A MILE DOWN THE ROAD BEFORE IT DOES IT AGAIN, OR, YOU CAN CONTINUE DRIVING IT WITH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD TRYING TO GET SPEED WHICH IF YOU DO THE CAR SHIFTS GEAR VERY BADLY AND RIDES ROUGH BUT WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO GET TO WORK ON TIME YOU DO WHAT YOU HAVE TOO. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC 3 TIMES OVER THIS. THROTTLE BODY WAS CHANGED (TWICE), THEY REPLACED THE COMPUTER AND CLEANED THE WIRES. ONE MECHANIC WAS THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THEY NEEDED IT THERE WHEN IT HAPPENED TO BETTER DIAGNOSE THE SITUATION. I DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO LET THEM JUST KEEP MY VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. I BOUGHT IT USED. I HAVE A LOAN ON THE VEHICLE AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS ANY FURTHER THAN I HAVE TO BECAUSE I KNOW THE VEHICLE WILL MESS UP. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN THAT I HAVE TO PUT IN THIS VEHICLE TO TAKE PLACES. THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WANT HELP WITH THIS SITUATION!! THIS FIRST HAPPENED IN NOVEMBER OF 2016. I DO NOT KNOW THE DAY SPECIFICALLY. I DO REMEMBER IT DID NOT FALL UNDER THE DEALERSHIPS WARRANTY THAT I GOT IT FROM.

SOME TIME AGO I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE FUEL LINES. I CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSED TO REPAIR. CURRENTLY I HAVE AN ACTIVE FUEL LEAK AROUND FUEL TANK WHEN DRIVING. SOMEBODY TOLD ME ABOUT THIS WEBSITE, SO I AM WRITING HERE TO SEE IF SOMEBODY CAN ENFORCE RECALL FOR MY CAR. I DON'T REMEMBER NOW WHEN I WAS REJECTED, SO I WILL PUT /1/1/2016 FOR THE DATE. THANKS.

MY 2006 CHEVY COBALT SS SMELLS OF GAS BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE WITH MY MAKE/MODEL/YEAR OF CAR AND FOUND THAT OTHER STATES (NOT MINE), HAD A RECALL INVOLVING THE FUEL PUMP ON THIS CAR. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY OTHER STATES DIDN'T RECALL THIS ISSUE WHEN MANY OTHER STATES HAVE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE? I LIVE IN MICHIGAN AND MANY OTHERS HAVE POSTED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR CAR YET NONE OF US ARE IN THE 2 STATES WITH THE RECALL. ALL STATES SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS THIS CAN CAUSE A FIRE! I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS TO BE FIXED WHEN IT IS OBVIOULSY A SERIOUS PROBLEM!

CAR IS LEAKING GAS BADLY FROM TOP OF GAS TANK.

MY RACK AND PINION WHICH IS PART OF THE POWER STEERING HAS SEPARATED AND I AM HAVING TROUBLE STEERING. I HAD MY CAR DIAGNOSED RECENTLY AND THEY MECHANICS AT MIDAS GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE SAYING I NEED TO HAVE MY RACK AND PINION REPLACED. MY RACK AND PINION IS CLANGING TOGETHER WHERE IT SEPARATED WHEN I DRIVE. THE MECHANICS TOLD ME MY STEERING COULD GO OUT AT ANY TIME

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING LOCKS UP

MY 2006 COBALT KEEPS SMELLING LIKE GASOLINE FUEL. I CHECKED THE BOTOM AND IT IS LEAKING FUEL NOT SURE IF ITS FROM FUEL LINES ON GAS TANK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE STEERING SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

THERE WAS A REGIONAL RECALL DONE ON THE FUEL PUMP MODULE ON MANY DIFFERENT GM VEHICLES. DUE TO A CRACK IN THE PLASTIC AROUND THE MODULAR CAUSED BY EXTREME HEAT EXPOSURE. WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURS, IT LEAKS GAS AND FUMES, ALSO THERE IS A VERY PROMINENT GAS SMELL SURROUNDING THE ENTIRE VEHICLE HOURS AFTER BEING PARKED. I LIVE IN KENTUCKY, MY VIN IS BETWEEN THE VIN BREAKPOINTS ON THE RECALL BUT DUE TO MY REGION, I'M NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. GM TO SAVE MONEY HAS MADE A SPECIAL POLICY CONCERNING THIS ISSUE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND PAY FULLY BUT BECAUSE IT IS NOT A "SAFETY CONCERN" WHICH WAS SAID TO ME BY CHEVROLET CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVE PAUL, IT WASN'T A DIRE ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DIRECTLY STATED BY NHTSA, AND THE PART IN GENERAL SHOULD BE RECALLED COMPLETELY NOT JUST REGIONALLY. I AM NOW, DUE TO IT BEING MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION, UNTIL I CAN AFFORD A RENTAL, DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT IS LEAKING GAS AND FUMES DUE TO A FAULTY FACTORY PART PUT ON MY VEHICLE BY GM. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. CONSUMERS ARE IN DANGER AND DUE TO NOT BEING IN A CERTAIN "REGION" WE ARE RISKY OUR SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS BECAUSE WE CAN NOT GET A FAIR RECALL DONE.

SIGNAL SHOWING AIRBAG NEEDS SERVICING GOES ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. HEADLIGHTS, LOW BEAM (BOTH OF THEM) JUST STOPPED WORKING. NEW BULBS AND NEW FUSES ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. NOW, I CAN'T EVEN KEEP MY HIGH BEAMS IN "ON" POSITION. ONLY IF I HOLD THE SWITCH. I'VE HAD THIS CAR FOR UNDER 3 MONTHS. DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK SOMETIMES WORKS, SOMETIMES DOESN'T. I HAVE TO UNLOCK THE DOOR MANUALLY (SOMETIMES). I FIND THAT ODD. MY LARGEST PROBLEM IS OBVIOUSLY HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN AND CAN'T DRIVE AT NIGHT, EVEN IN AN EMERGENCY.

MY CAR STARTED SMELLING LIKE GASOLINE REALLY STRONGLY THE PAST 2 WEEKS. IM VERY CONCERNED.

I WAS LOCKED INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THE DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK. WHILE PRESSING THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THE LOCKS WOULD NOT MOVE UP/DOWN. IT TOOK ABOUT 30MINUTES BEFORE THE LOCKS OPENED UP AND THAT WAS ONLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE DRIVER SIDE NEVER OPENED. MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED/STATIONERY.

BACK GAS SMELL.

THE ACTIVATING SWITCH FOR THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG FAILED AROUND 78,000 MILES. THIS SEAT SWITCH ACTIVATES THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SAFETY SYSTEM WHEN AN OCCUPANT SITS DOWN IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I WAS TOLD AT THE TIME WE HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL REPAIR DONE TO THE CAR THAT THE ONLY WAY TO REPLACE THE BROKEN SEAT SWITCH WAS TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SEAT COVER. TO DO THIS REQUIRES AN INITIAL OUTLAY OF $150.00 DOLLARS FOR THE PART( THE SWITCH IS WOVEN INTO THE SEAT FABRIC)PLUS LABOR TO INSTALL(PRICE UNKNOWN)AT THE DEALERSHIP. WITHOUT REGARD TO AGE,WEIGHT OR GENDER ANY FRONT SEAT PASSENGER MAY BELIEVE THEY ARE PROTECTED UPON READING THE DASHBOARD 'AIRBAG' SIGN WHEN SITTING IN THE CAR. THE PANEL-MOUNTED INDICATOR FOR THAT AIRBAG IS A LIGHTED DISPLAY WHICH, IN DAYLIGHT, IS HARD TO SEE WITHOUT CUPPING YOUR HAND OVER THE ANNUNCIATOR-OR WAIT UNTIL NIGHTFALL , GET SOMEBODY TO SIT IN THE SEAT, AND THEN CHECK OUT THE DASH LIGHT.

WHILE DRIVING MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON THEN MY POWER STEERING FLASHED ON AS WELL. MY CAR JERSEY LIKE IT WAS GONNA CUT OFF. I CUTHINK IT OFF AND IT STARTED BACK UP. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH COBALTS.

A FEW DAYS AGO, WE WERE IN THE GARAGE AND A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WAS COMING FROM OUR CAR, A 2006 CHEVY COBALT. WE CHECKED ONLINE TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED AND NOTICED THAT ONLY COBALTS MANUFACTURED IN ARIZONA AND NEVADA WERE COVERED. REALLY GM. SINCE WE LIVE IN OHIO, OUR SAFETY IS NOT HIGH ON THE LIST AS THOSE WHO LIVE IN ARIZONA AND NEVADA. I REALLY HOPE THAT NHTSA CAN ENFORCE A RECALL SO THIS ISSUE CAN BE FIXED. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS SURROUNDING THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET.

SMELLED GAS OUTSIDE AND INSIDE CAR WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED. LOOKED UNDER CAR AND GAS WAS LEAKING FROM FUEL LINE IN FRONT OF DRIVER REAR TIRE. FUEL LINE IN CLOSE QUARTERS WITH EXHAUST AND WAS SPRAYING ONTO EXHAUST PIPE. CONTACTED DEALER TO CHECK ON PRICE OF REPAIR OR RECALL AND DEALER STATED THEY HAVE HAD MANY COBALTS SIMILAR YEAR WITH LEAKING FUEL LINE IN SAME LOCATION. STATED GM USED AN ABSORBENT HEAT WRAP ON THAT SECTION OF FUEL LINE AND THAT IS CORRODING THE LINE. COST FOR REPLACING LINES WAS OVER $800. I AM DECIDING ON REPAIR ROUTE DUE TO EXCESSIVE COST OF REPAIR. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FAILURE IN GM'S END AND NEEDS THE FUEL LINE RECALLED. APPEARS BOTH LINES ARE LEAKING RIGHT BY EACH OTHER. THIS IS A FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD AND IS VERY COMMON. GM RECALLED THE FUEL PUMPS FOR POSSIBLE LEAKS BUT NOT THESE FAILING LINES? MY GARAGE KEPT LOW MILEAGE (97000) CAR SHOULD NOT NEED IT'S FUEL LINES REPLACED ALREADY, ESPECIALLY AT $800 PLUS.

THERE IS A FUEL PUMP LEAK. ALSO THERE IS A RECALL ON OTHER COBALTS FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT ACCORDING TO THE WEBSITE MY CAR IS NOT COVERED.

GAS IS LEAKING ONTO THE GROUND ON THE DRIVERS SIDE UNDER THE CAR. LEAKS WHEN CAR IS ON AND FOR A MINUTES OR TWO WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF.

CAN'T OPEN DRIVERS DOOR FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE HANDLES. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, IF ACCIDENT OCCURS HOW DOES THE EMERGENCY PERSONAL GET YOU OUT?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A CEMENT ROAD DIVIDER.

POWER STEERING NOT WORKING.

THE FUEL LINES IN MY 2006 CHEVY COBALT BEGAN LEAKING YESTERDAY. A FUEL SMELL WAS NOTICED IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR. I ALSO NOTICED SOME DRIPPING FUEL IN THE REAR OF THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE PREVIOUS RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS NOT THE PLASTIC LINE THAT WENT INTO THE FUEL PUMP. WHILE OFF THE CAR JUST DRIPPED FUEL ABOUT 1 DROP EVERY 10 SECONDS. WHILE RUNNING AND STATIONARY IT WAS A STEADY STREAM OF FUEL POURING OUT.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR WONT OPEN, STUCK SHUT. HANDLE FEELS LIKE NOTHING IS THERE . CANT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF WAS IN A WRECK OR FIRE. VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AS THESE ARE POWER LOCKS AND YOU CAN HEAR THE UNLOCKING SOUND HOWEVER DOOR DOESNT OPEN.

JUST BOUGHT 2006 CHEVY COBALT SS I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING GOING OUT I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE RECALLS I GAVE THEM THE VIN AND OVER THE PHONE THEY SAID THERE IS STILL 3 RECALLS FOR THE CAR I WENT THERE TODAY AND THEY SAID THERE WAS ONLY ONE THEY FIXED IT BUT IT WASN'T THE POWER STEERING HE SAID IT WAS ALREADY FIXED BUT THERE BEEN TIMES THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT ON ITS OWN AND I'M CURIOUS IF THEY ARE STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THAT RECAL. ANOTHER THING WAS THE AIRBAGS WHICH I BELIEVE WAS ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE CAR THE AIRBAG LIGHTS IS ON AND ONCE AGAIN THEY REFUSED TO COVER IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. UPON MERGING TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT HAD TO SWITCH LANES, PLACE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL, AND COAST OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS TOWED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 249,900.

STEERING COMPLETELY FAILED. COULD NOT TURN STEERING IN ANY DIRECTION. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN AT THE VERY BUSY INTERSECTION THAT I JUST CAME FROM. I WENT TO MY CHEVY DEALER AND THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT ANY RECALL. THIS THING IS GOING TO KILL PEOPLE. *TR

I AM COPY/PASTING THE RECALL NOTICE. THIS IS HAPPENING IN A VEHICLE IN MISSISSIPPI. GENERAL MOTORS IS RECALLING CERTAIN 2006'2007 CHEVROLET COBALT, SATURN ION, AND PONTIAC G5 VEHICLES REGISTERED IN ARIZONA, NEVADA, CALIFORNIA, FLORIDA, AND TEXAS BECAUSE OF A CRACK THAT COULD POSSIBLY DEVELOP ON THE PLASTIC SUPPLY OR RETURN PORT OF THE FUEL MODULAR RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY. THIS CRACK COULD CAUSE A FUEL LEAK THAT COULD BE OBSERVED DRIPPING ONTO THE GROUND IN SOME CASES, CAUSING A POSSIBLE VEHICLE PERFORMANCE ISSUE AND A FIRE HAZARD. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP MODULE FREE OF CHARGE.

ON SEPTEMBER 19TH, 2016 I BOUGHT A NEW TWO PACK OF SYLVANIA 3157 LL LONG LIFE LAMPS FROM WAL-MART AND USED ONE TO REPLACE MY OLD LEFT REAR BLINKER LIGHT WHICH HAD BURNED OUT. THE LIGHTS ARE SPECIFIED AS VALID REPLACEMENT LIGHTS FOR THE 2006 CHEVY COBALT. ON DECEMBER 26TH, 2016 I NOTICED THAT THE SAME LEFT REAR BLINKER LIGHT WAS NOT WORKING AGAIN. ON DECEMBER 27TH, 2016 I AGAIN ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE BLINKER LIGHT UNSUCCESSFULLY. ON THIS DAY I NOTICED THAT THE PLASTIC ON THE BULB HAD BURNT AND MELTED AT THE BULB'S CONNECTION POINT ONTO THE METAL CONTACTS OF THE BLINKER ASSEMBLY (SEE ATTACHED PHOTOS). THIS SEEMS TO BE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD FOR THE VEHICLE. UPON RESEARCHING, I FOUND OTHER FOLKS COMPLAINING ABOUT SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THEIR RUNNING LIGHTS ON THE CHEVY COBALT AS EVIDENCED HERE: HTTP://WWW.YOURCOBALT.COM/FORUMS/PROBLEMS-SERVICE/18928-BURNING-OUT-TURN-SIGNAL-LIGHT-BULBS.HTML. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE BULB MELTED.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON MY DAUGHTERS CAR. SHE ALMOST CRASHED INTO ANOTHER CAR. APPARENTLY THIS IS ELECTRIC AND DOES NOT USE TRANSMISSION FLUID

THIS HAS HAPPEN TO ME 5 TIMES ALL AT DIFFERENT TIMES. ONE TIME I WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT. THE OTHERS HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN CITY STREETS, TURNING CORNERS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR JUST START MY CAR AND THE GAUGES JUST GO NUTS. MY SECURITY LIGHT WILL COME ON MY FUEL GAUGE, RPM GAUGE. AND MPH GAUGE WILL JUST GO TO ZERO. THE RPM GAUGE BOUNCES UP TO 900-1000 THEN BACK TO ZERO. THE WORDS ON THE DASH WILL READ LOW FUEL (EVEN IF I ACTUALLY HAVE A FULL TANK) AND THEN IT'LL CUT MY POWER STEERING AND I WON'T BE ABLE TO TURN AT ALL OR BARELY. I ALSO HAVE A VIDEO OF IT DOING IT WHILE I WAS STATIONARY. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND HAS MADE ME ALMOST CRASH MULTIPLE TIMES. AND ONCE I ACTUALLY HIT A CURB IN A PARKING LOT WHEN IT DECIDED TO HAPPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PLASTIC SUPPLY OR RETURN PORT ON THE MODULAR RESERVOIR ASSEMBLY WAS CRACKED.

THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 147,000.

MY PROBLEMS ARE CAME ABOUT WITH THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ON THIS VEHICLE AS I HAVE SEARCHED AND FOUND THE PROBLEM TOO BE VERY COMMON. FOUND THAT IT HAS BEEN WIDELY RECALLED INCLUDING MY MODEL YEAR WITH NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TOO THE NHTSA. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS GETTING READY TOO GO TO A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT, THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASHBOARD, EVERYTHING SEEMED TOO BE WORKING EXCEPT THE SPEEDOMETER AND IT DROVE FINE. ON THE WAY BACK HOME HOWEVER THE CAR WOULD NO SHIFT PAST FIRST GEAR. I TOOK IT TOO A MECHANIC THAT LIVES NEXT TOO ME. HE SAID THE WIRING HARNESS WAS BAD, REPLACED IT, GOT IT BACK. DROVE FINE WITH NO PROBLEMS FOR THREE WEEKS, EVEN THE DRIVER FRONT BLINKER WAS WORKING WHICH HAD NEVER WORKED SINCE I GOT THE CAR BACK IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR. THEN AFTER THE THREE WEEKS THE POWER STEERING MESSAGE CAME BACK ON AND ALL THE SAME SYMPTOMS ARE BACK, NO SPEEDOMETER, HARD SHIFTING IF ANY, IT EVEN CAUSED THE ENGINE LIGHT TOO COME ON THIS TIME WHICH AN AUTO PARTS STORE DETERMINED TOO BE A RANDOM MISFIRE. I CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS AND IT WENT OFF. MY THEORY IS THAT THE TCM IS NOT GROUNDED CORRECTLY TOO HANDLE THIS AND SHORTS OUT AS I HAVE FOUND THAT OTHERS HAVE GROUNDED THE TCM AND IT HAS FIXED ALL THE PROBLEMS TOO THEIR CLAIM. I SEARCHED RECALLS ON MY CAR USING THE VIN AND MY CAR IS NOT LISTED ON IT AND SINCE THIS HAS BEEN RECURRING AND I'VE HAD ALL THE PROBLEMS EVERYONE ELSE HAS NOTED I FEEL THAT IS A GREAT CONCERN. THE MESSAGE AND ALL THE EFFECTS HAPPEN AS SOON AS I START THE CAR IF IT'S GOING TOO HAPPEN (SO FAR). IT FIRST HAPPENED ON THE DATE INDICATED AND THEN AGAIN ON 11/15/2016.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND BECAME UNSTABLE. THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

TAKATA RECALL.... MY STEERING HAS BECOME VERY HARD OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS. I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR IN MARCH 2016

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR GETS STUCK CLOSED - SOMETIMES IF I 'SNAP' THE OUTSIDE HANDLE IT WILL EVENTUALLY OPEN, BUT IT FEELS LIKE I'M GOING TO BREAK IT DOING THIS. BY 'SNAP' I MEAN TO PULL ON THE HANDLE AND LET IT SNAP BACK INTO POSITION. I'VE BEEN STUCK INSIDE THE CAR AND HAD TO HAVE SOMEONE 'SNAP' THE OUTSIDE HANDLE TO GET THE DOOR OPENED FOR ME. I'VE HAD INCIDENTS WHERE I'VE HAD TO CRAWL ACROSS TO THE PASSENGER SIDE TO GET OUT. THIS IS NOT EASY BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO LIFT THE CONSOLE UP IN ORDER TO GET BY... AND THE CONSOLE DOESN'T LATCH AND EVERYTHING FALLS OUT... NOT TO MENTION I'M A LITTLE CHUBBY AND IT'S REALLY HARD FOR ME TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE. THIS PROBLEM IS DANGEROUS TO POTENTIALLY BE LOCKED IN YOUR CAR - WHAT IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT?! WHAT IF I NEEDED TO GET OUT OF MY CAR IN A HURRY FOR WHAT EVER REASON!? I HAVE BEEN LOCKED IN 5 TIMES AND AND LOCKED OUT AT LEAST ONCE DAILY FOR THE LAST MONTH. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OFF PRETTY MUCH SINCE I GOT THE CAR IN 2007, AND EVERY TIME I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO GET LOOKED AT, THE CAR DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY'VE NEVER HEAR SUCH A THING (I'VE BROUGHT IT AT LEAST 3 TIMES FOR THIS REASON), AND THAT THEY CAN'T SEEM TO GET IT TO DO IT WHEN THEY HAVE IT... AGAIN... THIS IS A DANGEROUS THING... NOT JUST AN INCONVENIENCE - WHICH IT CERTAINLY IS WHEN THE DOOR WON'T CLOSE FROM THIS, BUT AT LEAST I'M NOT IN IT WHEN THAT HAPPENS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND ALL THE DOORS UNLOCKED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

VECHICLE ALWAYS AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHES TO POWER STEERING WHILE IN MOTION. IT ALWAYS DOES THIS WHENEVER THE TEMPERATURE IS 80 OR MORE DEGREE. THE STEERING BECOMES STIFF AND REFUSES TO TURN. ONE HAS TO KEEP GOING STRAIGHT OR STOP THE CAR TO RESTART BUT IT GOES BACK TO POWER STEERING IN LESS THAN 10 MINUTES AGAIN.

I HAD GOTTEN OUT OF MY VEHICLE AND HAD LOCKED THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR MANUALLY. WHEN I UNLOCKED THE DOOR, AND TRIED TO GET IN MY CAR, THE DOOR WAS STUCK. IT WOULDN'T OPEN FROM EITHER THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE. I TRIED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THE DOOR AGAIN, BUT IT IS STILL STUCK SHUT. IT IS VERY UNSAFE.

SUDDEN LOSS OF ALL POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING.

RECENTLY STARTED TO NOTICE A FUEL ODOR EMANATING FROM UNDER VEHICLE ADJACENT TO THE REAR WHEELS, STARTED TO NOTICE APPX. TWO WEEKS AGO. I AM AWARE OF THE 2009 RECALL (GM-09226) REGARDING THE 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT FUEL SYSTEM (FUEL PUMP AND CRACKED FUEL LINES). SO FAR, THERE IS NOT ANY NOTICEABLE LIQUID GASOLINE, BUT THE ODOR IS PREVALENT, ESPECIALLY AFTER VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE A VENTING ISSUE, BUT NOT SO SURE NOW. GAS CAP IS IN GOOD CONDITION. SINCE THIS VEHICLE IS REGISTERED IN PA, THE 2009 RECALL DID NOT APPLY EVEN THOUGH MY VIN IS IN THE RECALL RANGE. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 2010, NO RECALL LETTER EVER RECEIVED BY GM. I HAD CALLED A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER TO VERIFY VIN AND IF IT WOULD APPLY, BUT WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE'S VIN IS NOT SLATED FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS TO THE FUEL SYSTEM. VERY CONCERNED DUE TO THE POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS PROBLEM REGARDING FUEL LEAKS. TRYING TO DETERMINE WHETHER TO TAKE TO CHEVROLET DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS OR GO TO A TRUSTED, LOCAL MECHANIC.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN TURNING OFF WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING. THIS ABRUPT "TURNING OFF" STARTED OCCURRING EVEN BEFORE THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS CHANGED BY GM BUT NOW IT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. PRIOR TO THE IGNITION SWITCH BEING CHANGE, EACH TIME THE CAR WOULD TURN OFF THE AIRBAG SENSOR WOULD FLASH REPEATEDLY. AFTER THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS CHANGED I NOTIFIED THE DEALER THAT THE AIRBAG SENSOR REMAINED LIT, AND THEY JUST TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A FAULTY SENSOR AND THAT IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT WAS FIXED ON THE IGNITION. THE DEALER ALSO TOLD ME THAT IF I CHOSE TO HAVE IT FIXED, IT WOULD BE AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. I NEVER TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THAT REPAIR. THIS MONTH I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. ALTHOUGH TH ACCIDENT DID OCCUR BECAUSE OF THE CAR TURNING OFF ON ME, I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY THAT DAY AND THAT MY CAR CONTINUES TO TURN OFF ON ME. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED THE VEHICLE IS GOING EITHER, THE VEHICLE TURNS ITSELF OFF. IT'S HAS HAPPENED IN NORMAL TRAFFIC AFTER ATTEMPTING TO CROSS AND INTERSECTION, ON THE HIGHWAY AND EVEN WHILE MAKING A TURN. I REALLY FEEL THIS COULD CAUSE A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT IF NOT REPAIRED SOON. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE SHOP TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED BUT THEY CANNOT FIND WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. ONE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. ANOTHER MECHANIC SAID IT COULD BE THE TRANSMISSION. I KEEP GETTING CONFLICTING DIAGNOSES.

OUR 2006 COBALT HAS EXPERIENCED A FAILURE OF THE POWER STEERING, REQUIRING A REPLACEMENT STEERING COLUMN AND ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING MOTOR. THIS IS THE SAME PART THAT WAS REPLACED IN 2010 AS PART OF RECALL NO. N100023. I TALKED WITH GM REPRESENTATIVES OVER THE PHONE, AND THEY STATED THAT GM PARTS ARE WARRANTED FOR 12 MONTHS FOLLOWING THE REPLACEMENT UNDER THE RECALL. OTHERWISE, REPAIRS ARE ONLY WARRANTED UNDER THE STANDARD MANUFACTURER OR EXTENDED WARRANTY IF PURCHASED.

HAD IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED FOR RECALL ABOUT A YR AGO. WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE CAR SHOWED POWER STEERING IN INFO LINE. THEN ODOMETER , SPEED, INFO NUMBERS ALL STOPPED WORKING. PULLED IN GAS STATION, CAR WON'T START, KEY WON'T COME OUT OF IGNITION. AFTER A FEW MINS, CAR STARTED BACK UP AND NOW ANTI-THEFT LIGHT IS ON. MANAGED TO DRIVE THA CAR 100 MI. BACK HOME BUT NOISE LIKE LAWNMOWER COMING FROM FRONT AND FELT LIKE TRANSMISSION STUCK OR SLIPPING. WAS TERRIFIED THAT CAR WAS GONNA BLOW UP OR JUST STOP AND GET HIT BY SEMI. THE CAR HAS ALSO JUST STOPPED A COUPLE OF TIMES AFTER HAVING THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED. I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THIS UNTIL IT WAS REPLACED. I DID HAVE THE FUEL LEAK HAPPEN AND THE ELECTRICAL LIGHTS STOP WORKING AND DIM OR GET BRIGHTER WITH BRAKING. THIS CAR IS SO DANGEROUS TO THE DRIVERS AS WELL AS PUBLIC, IT SHOULD NOT BE IN THE ROAD AND CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO SPEND MONEY THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX A MANUFACTURERS SCREW-UP.

THE STEERING HAS GOTTEN TIGHT WHEN MAKING TURNS. LIKE ITS LOW ON POWER STEERING FLUID AND REALIZED THIS IS CONTROLLED ELECTRONICALLY. I'VE READ THAT THERE'S BEEN SOME RECALLS BUT NEVER RECEIVED ONE FOR MY COBALT OF THIS IS THE PROBLEM.

LEAKING FUEL FROM DRIVERS SIDE IN FRONT OF REAR TIRE. APPARENTLY RELATED TO THE ISSUE THAT RESULTS IN RECALLS IF YOUR CAR IS FROM CERTAIN STATES WHICH MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL. IT IS AN OBVIOUS PROBLEM RELATED TO SAFETY ON ALL CARS OF THIS YEAR AND MODEL NUMBER. SOMEHOW IF YOU LIVE OR BOUGHT THE CAR IN CERTAIN STATES YOUR SAFETY IS NOT IMPORTANT. THE CARS ALL USE THE SAME PARTS! THE SMELL OF FUEL HAS BEEN FOR SOME TIME. I JUST FOUND IT DRIPPING FUEL TODAY. LEAKS WHETHER MOVING OR PARKED.

FUEL SMELL WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED,FUEL ON GROUND UNDER CAR

LEAKING GAS SPOTS ON GROUND. VEHICLE CABIN SMELLS OF GAS AND THE ISSUE IS GETTING WORSE BY THE DAY. FEAR OF VEHICLE FIRE. SEEMS TO BE SAME ISSUE AS LISTED IN BULLETIN NO.: 09226.

HI, LIKE MANY COMPLAINS MY CHEVY COBALT HAS BEEN SMELLING LIKE GAS EVERYTIME I DRIVE IT. I'M REALLY CONCERNED, I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL/SPECIAL COVERAGE ON CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS. HOWEVER, I CALLED THE LOCAL GM AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS DEFECT IS NOT COVERED BY A RECALL. I THEN WENT ONLINE AND FOUND THIS ARTICLE HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/ACMS/CS/JAXRS/DOWNLOAD/DOC/UCM435709/RCMN-12V459-5432.PDF IN WHICH SAYS THAT ALL VIN NUMBERS SHOULD BE INCLUDED, WHAT CAN I DO SO THAT GM FIXES THIS ? CAN I GET A SPECIAL CASE NUMBER TO HAVE THIS DONE, GM WON'T GIVE ME ONE. I'M TERRIBLY SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR, YET I HAVE TO COMMUTE TO COLLEGE EVERYDAY. PLEASE HELP!

I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY COBALT AND IN THE FIRST YEAR I'VE HAD IT I HAD ENCOUNTERED NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. THE FIRST PROBLEM WAS THAT THE RADIO THAT WAS INSTALLED STARTED FLASHING AND WAS NOT WORKING WHATSOEVER, AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE NEXT PROBLEM WAS THE SUSPENSION AFTER JUST 3 MONTHS OF HAVING IT THE SHOCKS WERE WORN OUT COMPLETELY AND HAD TO GET THAT FIXED. THEN JUST 1 MONTH LATER MY STRUTS, TIRE RODS, ALIGNMENT, OIL PRESSURE SENSOR WENT TO COMPLETE "S**T" SO NOW I'M STRUGGLING WITH BILLS AFTER HAVING TO FIX MOST THINGS ON MY CAR I HAVEN'T FIXED ALL THE PROBLEMS SINCE I'M LOW ON MONEY HAVING TO KEEP AND KEEP FIXING THIS CAR. THEN TO TOP IT OFF JUST THIS MORNING GOING TO WORK THE "POWER STEERING"LIGHT POPS UP AND I CANT EVEN TURN MY STEERING WHEEL, I TURNED IT OFF AND THEN IT WORKED FINE BUT I'M VERY SCARED IT WILL KEEP HAPPENING ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. PLEASE HELP

POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT. TOO HARD TO TURN AND TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

THERE HAVE BEEN MANY RECALLS ON MY MODEL AND YEAR OF CAR (2006 CHEVY COBALT). THE MOST CURRENT ISSUE I AM HAVING IS A GAS LEAK NEAR THE TANK (REAR PASSENGER SIDE). FOR SOME REASON, THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THAT MY PARTICULAR CAR, BASED ON WHERE IT IS REGISTERED IS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. I LIVE IN KANSAS, I BOUGHT THE CAR IN OKLAHOMA. OKLAHOMA-REGISTERED VEHICLES ARE COVERED, KANSAS-REGISTERED VEHICLES ARE NOT CURRENTLY. THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE AND QUICK BEFORE MY CAR EXPLODES.

FUEL LEAK FROM GAS LINES AT FUEL PUMP AND GAS TANK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE RPMS REVVED INTERMITTENTLY.

I KEPT SMELLING A VERY STRONG GAS ODOR AND SAW GAS DROPS UNDER MY CAR. WHEN DRIVING, CAR WOULD FEEL SHAKY LIKE IT WANTED TO STALL AND WHEN I STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, THE CAR WOULD SHAKE VERY HARD AND THEN IT WOULD ACTUALLY STALL. IT STARTED OUT AS A LEAKY FUEL LINE BUT TURNED INTO BOTH FUEL LINES SNAPPING OFF THE FUEL PUMP. I HAD IT REPAIRED IN JUNE, 2016. THERE IS A "SILENT RECALL" ON THIS PART, BUT NOT FOR MICHIGAN CARS (WHY NOT MICHIGAN CARS.. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM .. THE STALLING ISSUE AND THE FIRE ISSUE). ALTHOUGH THIS "SILENT RECALL" OR THE "SPECIAL WARRANTY" GM ISSUED TO COVER THIS PART DOES NOT EXPIRE, THE TIME TO GET REIMBURSED EXPIRED IN 2014, WHICH MAKES NO SENSE. MY CAR DIDN'T BREAK UNTIL 2016, HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO FILE A CLAIM 2 YEARS PRIOR TO IT BREAKING?

I WAS DRIVING AND I PULLED OVER TO A VERY STRONG GAS SMELL.... I WALKED AROUND MY CAR, TIGHTENED MY GAS CAP. EVEN REPLACED. AND NOW FUEL IS POURING OUT ON MY DRIVERS SIDE THROUGH ONE OF THE LINES. NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. BUT IS VERY HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE WITH.

ALARM SOUNDS EVERY TIME DOOR IS OPENED. IT DOESN'T STOP UNTIL KEY IS PUT IN IGNITION AND TURNED. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER IT IS OPENED WITH THE FOB OR THE KEY. LOCKS ALSO RANDOMLY LOCK AND UNLOCK. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL ON THIS? THIS APPARENTLY IS A PROBLEM IN THIS MAKE OF CAR.

LEAKING FUEL.. EXTREMELY STRONG FUEL SMELL. HAPPENS WHETHER IN MOTION OR WHILE DRIVING

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT SPEED IT CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AFTER TAKING FOOT OFF GAS. THE DOORS ALSO STARTED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK AND EVERY LIGHT POSSIBLE ON THE DASH CAME ON. SPEEDOMETER READ ZERO EVEN THOUGHT STILL MOVING.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY, GOING ABOUT 38 MPH AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING BEEPED AND DISPLAYED ON MY DASH. THE STEERING TIGHTENED UP A BIT, AND THE CAR SLOWED DOWN, AS I WAS DRIVING (I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CAR SLOWED DOWN TO BECAUSE THE SPEEDOMETER THEN DROPPED TO ZERO, BUT THE TACHOMETER CONTINUED TO REV (I WANT TO SAY) BETWEEN 2 & 3 RPM, WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL IN MOTION. THE LOCKS WERE CLICKING UP AND DOWN TOO WHILE THIS WAS ALL HAPPENING. THEN THE CAR BUCKED AND THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN WORKING. THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT REMAINED LIT DURING THE WHOLE TIME. I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT FOR SAFETY. THIS WAS CLEARLY A DRIVING SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE VEHICLE SLOWING DOWN WHEN THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THERE WERE OTHER AFFECTED PARTS, BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO SELECT THE BOXES: ELECTRICAL; OTHER (SPEEDOMETER) THIS ALSO HAPPENED TODAY: 07/10/16, PROMPTING ANOTHER COMPLAINT TO BE FILED.

WHILE DRIVING MY 06 CHEVY COBALT, THE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON AND BLINKS CONTINUALLY AND MY STEERING WHEEL WILL BEGIN TO SHAKE. THE RECALL WAS CALLED AND MY CAR WAS SERVICED SO WHY IS THIS ISSUE HAPPENING AGAIN? IT'LL GO OFF FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND COME BACK ON. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX THIS, CHEVY NEEDS TO FIX THIS, ONCE AGAIN.

I WAS DRIVING AND SMELLED GASOLINE. I PARKED AND FOUND IT DRIPPING FROM UNDER THE CAR. TOOK IT TO A FIRESTONE AUTO REPAIR AND THEY SHOWED ME THAT THE FUEL LINES WERE RUSTED THROUGH. THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF GM CARS AND TRUCKS. A WEB SEARCH CONFIRMED THIS TO BE TRUE. I BELIEVE THAT FUEL LINES SHOULD NOT RUST AND LEAK GAS ON A CAR WITH ONLY 96,000 MILES ON IT. THE COST FOR THIS REPAIR IS $992. I BELIEVE THIS IS A HAZARDOUS AND LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM AND GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD PAY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BY A NATIONAL RECALL. THANK YOU. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. MY CAR HAS BEEN AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP ABOUT 7 TIMES NOW AND THEY CANNOT FIX MY CAR, AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. IT JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING. THE BREAKS LAND STEERING WHEEL LOCK UP AND I LOSE CONTROL OF MY CAR. I ALMOST RAN OVER CHILDREN CROSSING THE STREET WHEN I MADE A TURN. I HAD TO USE MY EBREAK AND I BARELY STOPPED IN TIME. THIS KEEPS HAPPENING AND MY IGNITION SWITCH RECALL CANNOT BE FIXED. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I FEEL LIKE I'M GAMBLING WITH MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF OTHERS IF I DRIVE MY CAR. SO I CANNOT DRIVE IT NOW. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE COURSE OF 2 YEARS I'VE HAD THIS CAR.

GAS SMELL OMITTING FROM UNDER THE BODY INTO THE CAR . CAR IS STATIONARY THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME , UNLESS ON MY WAY TO WORK . USUALLY TAKING CITY STREETS TO WORK . CAR IS PARKED AT HOME IN THE GARAGE.

TAKADA RECALL. THE LED INDICATOR ON MY STEERING COLUMN WILL SHOW POWER STEERING, AT WHICH POINT IF MY RPMS DROP BELOW 1000 THE CAR WILL STUTTER, THE POWER STEERING TURNS OFF, AND IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. USUALLY HAVE TO PULL OVER AND LET CAR REST FOR 10 TO 15 MINUTES BEFORE I CAN WE ENGAGE THE IGNITION AND DRIVE AT A SAFE MANNER. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING WHERE IT BECOMES EXTREMELY UNSAFE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HAVE CHECKED VIN NUMBERS AND CALLED CHEVROLET ONLY TO BE TOLD MY VIN NUMBER AND CAR IS TOO HIGH FOR THEIR RECALLS.

THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WHEEL IS ACTING WEIRD IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE MIGHT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. NEED IT FIX PER CODE 10V073000

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED CAR IT'SEEMS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. FIRST IT WAS BOTH CONTROL ARM BUSHING AFTER 1 MONTH OF PURCHASING MY 06 CHEVY COLBALT. I'VE SINCE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FRONT END ALL EXCEPT FOR THE STEERING COLUMN.WHICH MAKES A LOUD UNSETTLING RATTLING NOISE WHEN I GO OVER THE SLIGHTEST BUMP OR WHEN I TURN MY WHEEL LEFT TO RIGHT WHILE IN THE PARK POSITION. BUT NOW EVEN MORE SCARY MY CAR HAS BEEN STALLING OUT RANDOMLY AND I'VE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINT'S ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I'VE HAD OIL CHANGES AND TUNES UP AND A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND I'VE BEEN TOLD THE CAR IS OKAY.IT'S NOT OKAY! TODAY IT STALLED OUT WHILE ACCELERATING AT A GREEN TURN ARROW AND I GOT HIT FROM THE BACK BY THE CAR BEHIND ME TURNING AS WELL. NO HUGE DAMAGE BUT I'M AFRAID AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS THE REAL ISSUE.

WE HAVE A 2006 CHEVY COBALT WITH 81000 MILES. THIS VEHICLE BELONGED TO MY FATHER WHO IN TURN SAVED IT FOR MY SON. THE PROBLEM THAT I'M HAVING IS THAT WE SAVED THIS VEHICLE SO THAT IT WOULD BE A GOOD STARTER CAR FOR MY SON BUT WE HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT IT IS UNSAFE. WE TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP FOR SOME WORK TO BE DONE ON THE CAR FOR THE FRONT STRUTS TO FIND OUT THAT IT HAS A GAS LEAK. UNKNOWN AS TO HOW LONG THE LEAK HAVE BEEN GOING ON. ONCE FINDING THAT INFORMATION OUT WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER TO SEE ABOUT A RECALL ON THE CAR. TURNS OUT THAT THERE IS A RECALL #090226 FOR THE LEAK BUT FOR THE FUEL PUMP BUT NOT FOR THE FUEL LINE. I WAS TOLD BY THE CHEVY SERVICE DEPARTMENT TECH THAT IT IS UNKNOWN HOW THE PROBLEM MAY HAVE OCCURED OTHER THAN BEING OUTSIDE OR WHAT TYPE OF LANDING THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON. I'VE HAD 3 DIFFERENT VEHICLES & NEVER HAD A FUEL LINE LEAKAGE PROBLEM LET ALONE HAVING ANY TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE BY BEING OUTSIDE OR BEING PARKED ON THE STREET. NOW IF THE FUEL LINE & FUEL PUMP WORK HAND IN HAND WHY WOUNDN'T THE FUEL LINE BE APART OF THIS RECALL. AS A CUSTOMER, I DO BELIEVE THAT IF THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP THEN THEY WOULD REPLACE THE FUEL LINE IN ORDER FOR THE PARTS TO WORK PROPERLY. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR ME BECAUSE CUSTOMERS WOULD BE RIDING AROUND WITH A MAJOR HAZARD & WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW IT UNTIL THEY WERE IN AN ACCIDENT THAT MAY RESULT IN BEING FATAL. THERE IS NO REASON WHY THIS COMPANY WOULD RECALL ONLY 1 PART OF THE ISSUE & NOT THE ENTIRE ISSUE. JUST ANOTHER WAY OF DISMISSING THE SAFETY ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLES THAT THIS COMPANY HAS INCURRED OVER THE YEARS.

I HAD IGNITION SWITCH RECALL WORK PERFORMED ON MY CAR. FOLLOWING THAT, OR PERHAPS DUE TO INCREASED MILEAGE, I BEGAN HAVING POWER PROBLEMS WITH MY COBALT. ON 10/19/15 MY CAR WAS PARKED, WOULDN'T START AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THEN IT STARTED BUT DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO MOVE/RUN. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED - MILEAGE WAS 131,982 AT THE TIME. BATTERY WAS GOOD. THE SHOP SAID IT HAD PO300 CODES - RANDOM MISFIRES. THEY FOUND CYLINDERS 2 AND 3 WERE NOT CONTRIBUTING POWER DUE TO A BAD IGNITION MODULE. SO THE IGNITION MODULE WAS REPLACED. I ALSO HAD WORN SPARK PLUGS REPLACED, AS THE SHOP RECOMMENDED I DO SO. THE CAR STILL HAD MISFIRE CODES AND WOULD HESITATE WHEN RE-ACCELERATING AFTER STOPS, SO I PAID FOR A NEW FUEL FILTER AT THE REPAIR SHOP'S RECOMMENDATION. THE HESITATION CONTINUED BUT I COULDN'T AFFORD FURTHER DIAGNOSTICS/REPAIRS. WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS OF REPAIR MY CAR LOST COMPLETE POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. LUCKILY, OTHER DRIVERS HAD TIME/SPACE TO REACT, BUT IT COULD HAVE CAUSED A DEADLY ACCIDENT. DUE TO FINANCES, MY BROTHER CHECKED THE CAR FOR ME AND CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY - THE ONLY ISSUE HE COULD DETECT. IT HAS RUN A BIT BETTER SINCE THEN, BUT STILL EXHIBITS HESITATION AFTER STOPS. I WORRY IT MAY LOSE COMPLETE POWER AGAIN BUT I CANT AFFORD INCURRING FURTHER EXPENSE WITH TRIAL AND ERROR REPAIRS. ESPECIALLY AFTER READING ONLINE OTHER COBALT OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME EXPERIENCE, AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET RESOLUTION DESPITE MULTIPLE EXPENSIVE TRIPS TO MECHANICS. I FEEL CHEVROLET NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THE ELECTRICAL/POWER LOSS ISSUES WITH COBALTS AND COVER NEEDED REPAIRS UNDER A RECALL SO COBALT OWNERS CAN DRIVE WITH PEACE OF MIND. I'M SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT NOW BECAUSE OF A RECENT NBC NEWS PROGRAM WHERE A YOUNG WOMAN DIED WHEN HER COBALT LOST POWER IN TRAFFIC, AND THIS ALSO OCCURRED FOLLOWING THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL WORK BEING DONE.

NO SERVICE DEPARTMENT OR REPAIR SHOP HAD EVER BEEN ABLE TO DEFINITELY DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OR RECREATE THE PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE CUTS OFF DURING LOW SPEEDS, IT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE HAPPENED LESS THAN 24HRS AFTER THE STARTER WAS REPLACED. THE ENGINE STOPPED WHILE DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD & SEVERAL VEHICLES NARROWLY MISSED THE CAR BARELY AVOIDING COLLISION.

THE CAR HAS A FACTORY WINDSHIELD WHICH IS BLURRY WHEN YOU LOOK THROUGH IT. IT IS LIKE LOOKING THROUGH AN ORANGE PEEL. THE IMAGES ARE DISTORTED, NOT SHARP OR CLEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HAVING AN OIL CHANGE PERFORMED AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK ON THE FUEL PUMP. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V419000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED WHIPLASH, A SPRAINED SHOULDER, AND LOWER BACK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

CAR WHILE IT'S RUNNING GETS A SECURITY LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT ON AND ALL GAUGES READ ZERO BESIDES THE RPMS JUMPING TO A THOUSAND. AN DISPLAY SAYING LOW FUEL AND POWER STEERING AND WHEN TRY TO CHANGE DISPLAY IT READS ---------- AND IT DID THE SAME THING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD SO I PULLED OVER AND TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AND ONLY THE SECURITY LIGHT STAYED ON. VERY DANGEROUS AS THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE WHEN IT'S HAPPENING IT'S LIKE IT'S DISABLED.

THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT HAS GONE OUT. THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN AND ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ON ALL COBALTS HAVE HAD NUMEROUS RECALL ISSUES. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF CHEVROLET UTILIZING INFERIOR PRODUCTS ON THEIR VEHICLE RESULTING IN EXPENSIVE REPAIRS IN ADDITION TO STEERING PROBLEMS WHEREBY THE STEERING BECOMES EXTREMELY DIFFICULT INTERMITTENTLY AND ULTIMATELY RESULTING IN STEERING FAILURE SHOULD THE PROBLEM NOT BE RESOLVED. THE SAME STEERING SYMPTOMS FROM THE RECALL REGARDING THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ISSUES.

WHEN THE CAR WAS IN PARK, WE NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS. WHEN WE LOOKED UNDER THE CAR IT WAS LEAKING FROM WHAT APPEARED TO BE THE GAS TANK. I TOOK IT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THAT IT WAS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL PUMP. THE REPAIR IS GOING TO COST ME AROUND $600. THE MECHANIC WAS NICE ENOUGH TO REMIND ME ABOUT CERTAIN RECALLS ON THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND MODEL FROM CHEVY. WHEN I LOOK AT THE RECALLS, THE PARTICULAR PROBLEM IS LISTED, BUT FOR SOME REASON, CHEVY MADE IT REAL CONVENIENT TO SAY THAT ONLY CERTAIN CHEVY COBALTS 2006 WERE GOING TO BE FIXED. AS I ENTERED THE VIN NUMBER TO CHECK IT, MINE STATES THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY CAR. MY CAR FITS ALL THE CRITERIA, WHY IS IT THAT MINE DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL? I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, IF MY CAR DID NOT "QUALIFY" FOR THE RECALL, THEN WHAT 2006 CHEVY COBALTS QUALIFIED FOR THE GAS LEAK REPAIR? IT SEEMS AS THOUGH, WE THE CONSUMERS, HAVE TO PAY FOR A PROBLEM CHEVY CREATED BY USING CHEAP PARTS. VERY UPSET. WE ARE NOT PURCHASING ANOTHER CHEVY CAR AGAIN.

THIS IS GM RECALL #14632-TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WHICH LOCKS THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION CYLINDER. I WAS PARKED AND COULDN'T GET THE KEY OUT, WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH THE RECALLS UNDER 14V047 & 14V171. STEWART CHEVROLET REFUSED TO DO MY KEY, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS THE PROBLEM. ON 9/25/2015 I FILED A COMPLIANT WITH GM ASKING WHERE ELSE I COULD GO AND IF IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE COBALT WITH THIS KEY AND WITH THIS NEW PROBLEM. I'VE NEVER RECEIVED AN ANSWER FROM GM NOR HAS STEWART STEPPED UP TO REMEDY THIS EVEN NOW THAT THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM. IS THIS VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE, AS ONLY THE FIRST RECALL PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN FIXED. *CN

MY 2006 COBALT HAS MANUAL DOOR LOCKS AND THE TOP KNOB OF THE LOCK IN THE INTERIOR TO UNLOCK THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE HAS BROKEN OFF FLUSH WITH THE TOP OF THE DOOR SO WHEN THEY ARE LOCKED THERE IS NOTHING TO GRAB MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO UNLOCK. THE TOP PART OF THE KNOB SIMPLY BROKE OFF WHEN TRYING TO UNLOCK THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. IF THE DOOR IS ACCIDENTLY LOCKED WHILE INSIDE I HAVE TO REACH THROUGH THE WINDOW AND USE THE KEY TO UNLOCK IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS IA A HUGE SAFETY HAZZARD.

AFTER PUTTING MY CAR INTO PARK AND TURNING THE CAR OFF I WAS UNABLE TO GET MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH, WHICH WAS REPLACED LAST YEAR. I HAD TO JIGGLE THE GEAR SHIFT (AUTOMATIC) AND STILL HAD TO FORCEFULLY REMOVE THE KEY.

I BOUGHT THIS 2006 CHECY COBALT 2 MONTHS AGO AT CLEAR CHOICE AUTO SALES DEALERSHIP IN CARLISLE AND I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE STEERING WAS ROUGH WHEN I WAS TURNING TO THE RIGHT BUT EASIER TO TURN TO THE LEFT WHEN I TOOK IF FOR A TEST DRIVE. THEY TOOK IT IN THERE SHOP AND SAID IT WAS THE TIRE PRESSURE. THEY THEN ADDED AIR TO THE PASSENGERS SIDE FRONT TIRE THEN AND I NOTICED THAT IT STILL WAS THE SAME WHEN I DRIVE IT HOME. I THEN FOUND OUT THAT I HAVE THE 2 RECALLS FOR THE KEY AND IGNITION SWITCH SO I TOOK IT TO LAWERANCE CHEVROLET AND HAD THEM REPLACE THEM AND I ALSO HAD THEM CHECK ON THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE POWER STEERING MODULE COLUMN THAT WAS THE ISSUE BUT IT WAS GOING TO COST A HOLE LOY OF MONEY TO REPLACE IT. I DIDNT HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT REPLACE BUT I KNEW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE COBALTS STEERING. I ASK THEM IF IT WAS STILL COVERED UNDER RECALL AND THEY SAID IT WAS ALREADY CANCELED. IDK WHAT TO DO I REALLY DONT WANT TO SPEND MONEY FOR THIS ISSUE WHEN ITS A RECALL ALREADY AND I JUST BOUGHT THE CALL FOR $5,500. I MY STEERING WHEEL ALSO SHAKES WHEN IM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES.

DROVE HOME FROM WORK AND ABOUT 3 HOURS LATER I GOT INTO MY CAR TO LEAVE, CRANKED MY CAR AND I HAD A MESSAGE ON MY DIGITAL READING "POWER STEERING" AND I COULD NOT TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AT ALL!! I LOOKED ON YOUTUBE AND SEE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR COBALT'S, BUT YET THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT YOU GUYS. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL?? I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR!!

I PURCHASED THE CAR 2 AND HALF YEARS. THE CAR ALWAYS SEEMED TO HAVE SLIGHT STEERDNG ISSUES BUT NOTHING MAJOR NOTE ENOUGH TO BE WORRIED ABOUT. I HAD THE FRONT OF THE END OF THE CAR COMPLETELY REBUILT THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR IN BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT IT NEED A FRONT END ALIGNMENT. I WAS INFORMED THAT HAD BEEN ISSUES WITH THE STEERING OF THE COBALT AND TO CHECK INTO IT. I WAS TOLD BY TO GARAGES THAT IS THE IMMEDIATE DRIVE SHAFT ON THE CAR. ONE GARAGE ALSO SAID THE RACK AND PIN. I THOUGHT THE CAR JUST NEED BRAKES ROTORS ETC. I DIDN'T HAVE MONEY TO HAVE THE CAR COMPLETE REBUILT FRONT END SO I HAD LITTLE THINGS DONE. THE CAR WAS STILL HAVING ISSUES AFTER I HAD EVER THING REDONE BY BOYFRIEND DID ALL THE WORK ON THE FRONT END. SO IT WAS WHEN I TOOK IT IN THE ALIGNMENT. THAT I WAS TOLD ABOUT THE ISSUES. HOWEVER THE CLICKING IN THE STEERING HAS ALWAYS BEEN THEIR BUT I DIDN'T KNOW. I WAS TOLD THE CAR IS UNSAFE FOR ME DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE STEERING PROBLEMS. I HAVE CONTACTED GM THEY ACTED AS IF THEY HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT ANY STEERING ISSUES AND AFTER THE INVESTIGATION I DID I FOUND OUT DIFFERENTLY. I AM TAKING THE CAR INTO GM ON SATURDAY 9/26/2015. IF I HAVE TO PAY ON MY OWN IT WILL COST ME 1000. I DONT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. I AM SINGLE MOM GOING TO NURSING SCHOOL FULLTIME. I NEED HELP GETTING THIS RESOLVED.

STRONG SMELL OF GAS EMITTING FROM REAR OF CAR. NOTICE MORE AND GETS STRONGER AFTER ATTEMPTING TO START THE CAR. FUEL IS LEAKING AND GAS MILEAGE DROPPED FROM AROUND 28-29 TO LESS THAN 10MPG. I HAVE CALLED LOCAL DEALER(2) AND BOTH ARE REFUSING TO REMEDY EVEN THOUGH THIS IS NOT A NEW COMPLAINT OR DEFECT BUT ONE IN CHEVROLET'S DESIGN AND THEY HAVE ADMITTED SUCH YET REFUSE TO FIX.

THE FUEL LINES ARE LEAKING WHERE THE LINES CONNECT TO THE FUEL PUMP. IT IS CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS TO SATURATE THE TOP OF THE TANK AND RUN DOWN THE REAR OF THE TANK.

EVERYTIME WE DRIVE OUR COBALT WE HAVE A HARD TIME STARTING IT. AFTER A FEW DAYS WITH IT BEING HARD TO START WE THEN STARTED SMELLING A STRONG GAS ODOR ON THE OUTSIDE AND INSIDE OF THE CAR. I FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP, BUT FOR SOME REASON IT IS ONLY IN CERTAIN STATES AND OF COURSE MY STATE (MICHIGAN) IS NOT INCLUDED.

POWER STEERING GOES OUT. ITS HAPPENED GOING 27 MPH AND ITS HAPPENED GOING 68 MPH. STARTED ACCRUING AROUND 68,500 MILES BUT WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION I TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AND THE POWER STEERING TURNED BACK ON. MY CAR IS A STANDARD SO IT CAN BE PUT INTO NEUTRAL AND TURNED OFF AND BACK ON QUICKLY BUT IT STILL ISN'T SAFE FOR ANYBODY TO DRIVE LIKE THIS I GOT THIS CAR FROM AN OLDER LADY AND I SEE WHY SHE SOLD IT BECAUSE OF HOW DANGEROUS THIS MATTER IS. TO YOUNG PEOPLE AS WELL

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED LAST MARCH (2014) WITH 56000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON (WITHIN A MONTH OF PURCHASE) AND HAS STAYED ON. IT TURNS OUT TO BE THE AIRBAG SENSOR MODULE. IT WILL COST $850.00 BEFORE TAXES TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I AM A SINGLE MOM WHO IS WORKING HER WAY THROUGH COLLEGE. I SIMPLY CAN NOT AFFORD TO GET THIS LIGHT FIXED. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVY SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE BEGGED THEM FOR FINANCIAL HELP. I EVEN ASKED THEM TO SUPPLY THE PART AND I WOULD PAY FOR LABOR. I FOUND ON THIS WEBSITE A RECALL FOR OVER 2 MILLION COBALT'S TO HAVE THE AIRBAG MODULE REPLACED. CHEVY IS TELLING THAT THIS RECALL IS NOT TO MY CAR BECAUSE THE RECALL IS NOT ATTACHED TO MY VIN NUMBER. I WAS HOPING THAT YOU COULD FURTHER ASSIST ME WITH THE RECALL AND TO SEE IF IT WOULD HAPPEN TO APPLY TO MY CAR. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG COBALTS. PLEASE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
