2010 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

FUEL LINES RUSTED AND CAUSING FUEL TO DRIP BY REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE ONCE FUEL PUMP TURNS ON.

DRIVING ON HIWAY START TO SHAKING. LOOSING POWER AND SHUTTOFF. AND STEERING WHEEL HARD TO DRIVE OFTEN. DASH BOARD SHOWING ICONOS ALL TIME.

YESTERDAY MORNING I WENT OUT TO WARM UP THE CAR BEFORE HEADING OUT AND NOTICED A GOOD PUDDLE OF WATER UNDER MY CAR. I SMELLED THE FLUID AND FOUND IT TO BE ANTIFREEZE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO FOUND IT TO BE A LEAK IN THE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE. BEING ADVISED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS BROKEN IN THE FACTORY JOINT, WHERE THE LINE IS LIKE WELDED TOGETHER DURING MANUFACTURING. I GOT HOME AND RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND WAS SHOCKED AT THE NUMBER OF RESULTS DESCRIBING MY VERY PROBLEM. I CAN'T EVEN COUNT HOW MANY DESCRIBE THE SAME SCENARIO, GOING OUT AFTER THE HARDEST FREEZE, WATER PUDDLE UNDER THE CAR WITH ANTIFREEZE IN IT AND TRIP TO SHOP, DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE! AS THOUGH ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE WERE LIVING MY LIFE AT THAT MOMENT.I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE 2 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM, BUT THEY WERE MINOR COMPARED TO THIS! IT IS GOING TO COST ME CLOSE TO $300.00 TO FIX THIS VERY, VERY COMMON PROBLEM RIGHT HERE AT CHRISTMAS WITH 2 CHILDREN TO PROVIDE FOR. SEVERAL OF CUSTOMERS WHO REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM DID SAY THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THEIR PROBLEM AT NO CHARGE BECAUSE IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM IN POOR MANUFACTURING OF THIS PART! I CAN ONLY HOPE I GET SO LUCKY. OR THAT THE NHTSA PICKS THIS UP AND PUTS A RECALL ON THIS VERY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT!

THERE WAS A FUEL LEAK ON MY CAR. THE SAME DAY THAT I DROPPED MY CAR OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP ANOTHER PERSON WAS THERE WITH THE SAME CAR & THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I FEEL AS THO IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN A COINCIDENCE & PROBABLY SHOULD BE LOOKED IN TO. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM A FEW DAYS BEFORE TAKING IT TO THE SHOP. I HAD NO MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR BEFORE THIS ISSUE.

FUEL ODOR AND SPOTTING ON GROUND NEAR REAR DRIVER SIDE TIRE. ACTIVE LEAKING WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN CAR IS PARKED.

I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR..2010 CHEVY COBALT WITH 176,000 MILES TWO WEEKS AGO WITH ALL OF THE MONEY THAT I HAD. I NOTICED THAT IT HAD A DEALERS TAG, BUT HE WANTED TO MEET ME AT A STORE AND CLAIMED THAT THE CAR WAS PERFECT.DAY TWO IT STALLED & HAS CONTINUED TO RANDOMLY STALL & WOULDN'T START TIL THE 3RD TRY. I TRIED, BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTACT THE SELLER. AUTOZONE SAID IT HAD 17 CODES, BUT COULD JUST BE THE C20? SENSOR. THEN LAST NIGHT IT WOULD START, ACCELERATING TO ABOUT 5 MPH,THEN STALL & I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME FROM A BUSY AREA, AND NOW IT WON'T TURN OVER OR START AT ALL. IM A GRANDMOTHER ON MY OWN WITH A PART TIME JOB AND HAVE NO MONEY LEFT FOR REPAIRS OR TO START ALL OVER. I'M HOPING THERE'S A RECALL THAT COULD HELP.I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIND THIS MAN AS THE TITLE HAD ANOTHER PERSONS NAME ON IT, NOT THAT IT WOULD DO ANY GOOD.

I GOT MY COBALT IN ENDING 2010-2011 AND NEVER RECEIVED A SINGLE RECALL ON MY COBALT ,AND NOW A FRIEND TOLD ME OF THIS SIGHT THERE IS SO MANY RECALLS THAT NEED TO BE DONE ON MY CAR AND BEGINNING WITH THE TRANSMISSION ,IT RUNS GRATE IT JUST DOESN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR IT IS IN. ALSO MY DOOR LOCKS UNLOCK BY THEM SELF ITS LIKE I HAVE A SPIRIT IN THE CAR (VERY UN SAFE).NOT TO MENTION WHEN THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE IT WOULD SLIP INTO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN, SAME WITH IF YOUR IN REVERSE IT WILL SLIP INTO NEUTRAL. PLEASE NOTIFY ME NON OF THE PAST RECALLS WAS EVER DONE ON MY CAR, I WANT TO HAVE A LIST AND PUT MY CAR INTO A CHEVY SHOP AND HAVE ALL RECALLS FIXED, I WAS NEVER NOTIFITYED >AND IVE LIVED IN THE SAME HOUSE THAT I OWN FOR 10+ YEARS>IT WILL NOT RECONIZE WHAT GEAR IT IS IN>PERIOD.

GAS LINE WAS LEAKING. HAS BEEN OVER 2 WEEKS AND PART IS STILL BACKORDERED FOR MANY ADDITIONAL ORDERS FOR THE SAME PART. IF THIS MANY GAS LINES ARE ALL LEAKING AND IN NEED OF THIS PART, IT WARRANTS AN INVESTIGATION AS TO WHY THEY ARE ALL LEAKING AT THE SAME TIME. TO DATE THERE IS STILL NOT EVEN A TIMELINE AS TO THE PROPOSED DATE THAT A PART WILL BE AVAILABLE LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THERE ARE THOUSANDS TO MILLIONS OF CARS IN THE SAME PREDICAMENT.

COBALT 2010 SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING IN THE PM THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WITH 3 PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. MY FAMILY WERE VERY UPSET AND SHAKEN.
