2007 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

POWER STEERING FINALLY WENT OUT. IT WAS GOING OUT THEN COMING BACK ON FOR MONTHS. THEN IT STARTED GOING OFF MORE AND MORE UNTIL IT QUIT. I HAVEN'T HAD THE CHANCE TO PUT UP $2000 CAUSE WE HAVE HAD OTHER ISSUES WITH MY OTHER DAUGHTER'S $150000 SURGERY. I AM SEEING HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS BACK TO 2005 WHERE ALL CHEVY COBALTS HAVE THIS ISSUE. I AM SURPRISED NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE HERE. I AM AFRAID MY DAUGHTER IS GOING TO GET KILLED.*JB

STEERING BECOMES STIFF AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. IT SEEMS TO RESET AND BECOME NORMAL AFTER TURNING CAR OFF THEN BACK ON. HAPPENS AT SLOW SPEEDS AFTER MUCH TURNING . AFRAID OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN AT HIGH SPEED ON HIGHWAY??? *JB

2007 CHEVY COBALT OUR POWER STEERING HAS WENT OUT 3 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST WEEK WHEN WE HAVE SLOWED DOWN OUR SPEED. TO REMEDY IT WE HAVE TO TRY TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR AND THEN RESTART IT. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN LAST WEEK. *JB

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT ON MY 2007 CHEVY COBALT. YOU HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURN THE CAR BACK ON.. DRIVE 2 MORE MILES, THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AGAIN. I STOPPED TO GET POWER STEERING FLUID AND FOUND OUT THAT IT IS ELECTRONIC. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME IT COSTS $2,000 TO GET FIXED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND I WILL NOT LET HER DRIVE NOW BECAUSE IT'S JUST TOO DANGEROUS...ONLY HAS 45,000 MILES ON IT...PISSED OFF IN GEORGIA! *JB

POWER STEERING IN 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT LT TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. USUALLY WORKS AGAIN AFTER RESTARTING VEHICLE. *TR

TWICE IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS, WHEN I HAVE STARTED MY CAR, THE POWER STEERING DOES NOT ENGAGE. I HAVE HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND WHEN I TURN IT BACK ON IT IS FINE. *TR

I HAVE HAD A SERIES OF PROBLEMS WITH MY 2007 CHEVY COBALT IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS. FIRST IN NOVEMBER OF 2009 MY WHEELS WERE TOO BENT UP AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEN IN DECEMBER 2009 MY CLUTCH BURNED OUT AFTER ONLY 47,000 MILES. EVERYONE I EVER SPOKE TO NEVER HEARD OF A CLUTCH BURNING OUT SO SOON. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65MPH WHEN NO MORE POWER WAS BEING SUPPLIED TO THE VEHICLE AFTER PRESSING DOWN ON THE GAS. I ROLLED INTO A NEARBY GAS STATION AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DIAGNOSTIC CONFIRMED MY SUSPICION. I HAD IT REPLACED TWO WEEKS LATER WHEN I HAD THE MONEY. NOW ITS FEBRUARY AND MY PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT ENGAGE. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN 2007 AND HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE DONE ON THE CAR, IE BRAKES, OIL, FILTERS. I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED AND I FEAR DRIVING THE CAR THINKING SOMETHING ELSE WILL BREAK DOWN. NO WARNING SIGNS OF ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS WERE NOTICEABLE. *TR

POWER STEERING IS OUT! I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY KIDS WHEN I LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER THE CAR. *TR

THE DEFECT OCCURS A FEW TIMES A WEEK. I AM DRIVING ALONG AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO SHAKE REALLY BAD ALMOST FEELS AS IF ONE OF YOUR FRONT TIRES BLEW THEN THE CAR BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. *TR

WHEN STARTING UP, ONCE I GET GOING, POWER STEERING RANDOMLY GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING. IT OCCURS CONSTANTLY, SOMETIMES COMING BACK ON WHEN RESTARTING, BUT GOING OUT SOON THEREAFTER. THE PROBLEM IS A ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM AND I AM UNABLE TO AFFORD REPAIR, SO NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN TO CORRECT FAILURE APART FROM DIAGNOSING IT. *TR
