I AM A OWNER OF A 2007 CHEVY COBALT AND I JUST HIT THE 33,000 MILE MARK. AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 60 MPH, MY STEERING GOT REALLY HARD WHEN I WAS TURNING ON A SMALL CURVE. THEN ON THE DASH BOARD "POWER STEERING" CAME OUT AND IT STARTED MAKING A BEEPING NOISE. SINCE THAT HAPPEN I EXITED THE FREEWAY, AS I WAS TURNING INTO A SAVE AREA TO CHECK THE CAR, THE STEERING BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO MANEUVER. "*TR

FRONT END NOISE WHEN HITTING ANY SMALL BUMP. DEALER SAYS FRONT END BUSHINGS NEED REPLACEMENT. CAR IS A 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT. CAR HAS 45,00 KM AND IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. CAR WAS DRIVEN BY A WOMAN AND SHE DIDN'T NOTICE THE FRONT END NOISE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR A WHILE AS THE FRONT TIRES ARE WORN OUT. THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH SUCH LOW KM. *TR

2007 CHEVY COBALT, 20,000 MILES, FNT END CREAKING, GROANING/MOANING. FEELS VERY LOOSE/RIDES VERY HARD OVER THE SMALLEST DEFECT IN ROAD! COLE MUFFLER DIAGNOSED CAR BUSHINGS/CONTROL ARMS BOTH SIDES NEED REPLACE. SPOKE TO MANY OWNERS OF COBALT & SEARCHED ONLINE-SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AROUND THIS SAME MILEAGE WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE! BUSHINGS/CONTROL ARMS ON CARS W/LIMITED MILEAGE SHOULD BE A DEFECT OF THE MANUFACTURER! THIS DEFECT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING AFTER THE 3YR WARRANTY & IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE 5YR WARRANTY! THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD! I S/W PPL THAT HAD THE BUSHINGS REPLACED/AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE & THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY HAVE TO HAVE THE CONTROL ARMS REPLACED TOO! MOST OF THE TIME, I FEEL I DON'T EVEN HAVE CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE. WHEN I STEP ON THE BRAKES MY WHOLE STEERING WHEEL PULLS TO THE LEFT. WHEN I CHANGE LANES, IT FEELS LIKE I'M JUMPING TO THE NEXT LANE. I HAD TO REPLACE MY FRONT TIRES BC OF THIS FRONT END SUSPENSION PROBLEM. MOST PPL ARE NOT AWARE HOW, WHERE, TO WHOM TO REPORT A PROBLEM LIKE THIS TO. MOST PPL USE THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR COMPLAINTS, OR DIRECTLY TO THE DEALER, THEREFORE, YOUR DATABASE IS NOT ACCURATE FOR THE NO. OF COMPLAINTS RE: THE COBALT FNT SUSPENSION. MOST PPL I TALKED TO HAVEN'T REPORTED IT, THEY JUST PD TO REPLACE IT BC IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. COSTLY REPAIRS! OVER $1000 OR MORE. WHEN ARE U GOING TO MAKE GM RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT IN THE COBALTS?? THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FOR THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SHOULD HAVE ALSO INCLUDED CONTROL ARMS & BUSHINGS THESE ARE PUTTING CONSUMERS AT RISK FOR CRASH ALSO!!! THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN THE COBALT. THIS CARS ARE NOT INEXPENSIVE CARS THE RETAIL PRICE STARTS AT $16,000! MAKE GM RESPONSIBLE FOR A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND IT IS LIKELY MOST CONSUMERS CAN'T AFFORD A REPAIR OF THIS MAGNITUDE, AS IT WILL CONSIST OF CONTROL ARMS/BUSHINGS/TIRES/ALIGNMENT TO MAKE THE VEHICLE SAFE AGAIN! *TR
