2010 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR LIGHTS DIMMING WITHIN THE VEHICLE, REPLACING THE FRONT HEAD LIGHT AND THE RADIO NOT WORKING. HAVE BEEN TOLD THE HEADLIGHTS WIRES ARE MELTED, THE CAR GENUINELY HAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BUT NO RECALLS. THIS IS INCREDIBLY UNSAFE TO HAVE ELECTRIC WIRES BURNING OUT AND MELTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL OPERATED INTERMITTENTLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

I WAS DRIVING HOME THIS MORNING AND A DEER JUMPED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND THE ENGINE SHUTOFF. MAKING THE POWER BRAKES AND STEERING SHUTOFF. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS NOT TO MENTION IF THERE IS NO POWER MOST LIKELY THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. A SERIOUS ISSUE FOR A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN 6 YEARS OLD WITH AROUND 80,000 MILES ON IT. JUST A DISCLAIMER IT IS AN AUTOMATIC SO THERE IS NO CLUTCH. *TR

AFTER STARTING THE CAR THE TRANSMISSION BUCKS ROUGH CAUSING THE FRONT WHEELS TO SLIP AND CAUSING THE STABILITY LIGHT TO COME ON. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE BUCKS SO HARD AND SO MANY TIMES IT WILL STALL OUT CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION... MY SON'S CO-WORKER AND FRIEND HAS THE SAME CAR AND THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM... I FEEL IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSINON

I TOOK MY CAR TO HAVE THE RECALLS FIXED ALTHOUGH I WAS HAVING NO PROBLEMS. PUTNAM CHEVROLET IN BURLINGAME SUPPOSEDLY DID IT. THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO PARALLEL PARK MY STEERING WHEEL BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN AND. I HAD TO GET OUT AND FIND A PLACE WHERE I DIDN'T HAVE TO STEER VERY MUCH WHICH LIVING IN SAN FRANCISCO IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. ALSO MY GEAR SHIFT MARKS RED IN D EVEN WHEN I AM IN REVERSE OR PARKED.

AFTER SMELLING A STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, I PULLED MY CAR OVER AND NOTICED A HUGE PUDDLE OF GASOLINE ON THE GROUND AND STILL STEADILY POURING OUT. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE IT HOME AND PARKED IT AND TOOK PHOTOS AND A VIDEO OF THE DEFECT. I HAD LOST OVER HALF A TANK OF GASOLINE IN JUST 30 MINUTES. WITH THIS FUEL PUMP LEAK BEING NEAR THE EXHAUST, A HIGH PROBABILITY OF EXPLOSION CAN HAPPEN AND HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER MODELS OF THIS VEHICLE, DIFFERENT MODEL YEAR. I HAVE SEEN THAT THE CHEVROLET COBALT 2007-2009 HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO FUEL PUMP LEAKS, BUT THE 2010 HAS SUSPICIOUSLY BEEN LEFT OFF OF THE RECALL.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY CHEVROLET VEHICLE AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL WORK AT TED BRITT CHEVY IN STERLING, VA. AFTER TWO HOURS WITH THE VEHICLE, THE TECHNICIAN PRESENTED ME WITH A LIST OF REPAIRS COSTING $1200+ THAT WOULD NEED TO BE PERFORMED BEFORE THE RECALL ACTION COULD BE TAKEN. NOT ONLY WERE THE ISSUES SUSPECT, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY NONE OF THEM PRECLUDED THE RECALL WORK FROM BEING COMPLETED. THE EFFORT TO SHAKE DOWN CUSTOMERS FOR ELECTIVE, OUT-OF-POCKET REPAIRS BEFORE A DEALERSHIP PERFORMS A LEGALLY MANDATED ACTION IS CLEARLY FRAUD.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
