2009 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

WHILE DRIVING, ANYTIME THAT NEED TO ACCELERATE, CAR WILL TAKE OFF AT MAX ACCELERATION AND DOES NOT RESPONDS TO FULL BRAKING, GEAR DOWN SHIFTING, NEUTRAL ENGAGEMENT, IT GETS FULLY OUT CONTROL, LIKE IF THROTLE STAYS IN HIGH, OR FULL ACCELERATION, EVEN WITHOUT PEDAL RESPONSE , IT IS THE MOST SCARING EXPERIENCE I EVER HAD. IT HAPPENED WHILE THERE WAS NOBODY IN FRONT OF ME. OTHERWISE I COULD HIT ANY CAR IN FRONT OR SIDE OF ME. I FEEL LUCKY THAT THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME WAS CLEAR. I CAN NOT IMAGING WHAT COULD HAPPEN TO AN INEXPERIENCE DRIVER. I WAS IN KENDALL DRIVE S.W. APPROACHING 127 AVE INTERSECTION WICH IS A VERY BUSSY INTERSECTION AND ROAD, BEFORE THIS MANY OTHER TIME VEHICLE ACTED WITH ERRATIC ACCELERATION, BUT ASSUME IT WAS GAS STATION BAS GASOLINE, ALWAYS USE 87 OCTANE GRADE, OR WATER IN THE GASOLINE. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS TAKING CARE OF. POSSIBLY HAS BEEN THE CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS INVOLVING THIS CAR, AND SINCE IT WILL HIT ANY CAR IN FRONT OF IT, BY LAW IT WILL BE YOUR FAULT WHEN HITTING SOME OTHER OR OTHERS VEHICLE, YOUR INSURANCE WILL COUNT AGAINST YOU AND GOD KNOWS IF SOMEBODY GETS KILL,OR IMPAIRED INCLUDING MYSELF, PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, GOING TO STOP THIS CAR, WICH I USE TO GO WORK DRIVING 44 MILES EACH WAY. AND RENT SOMETHING UNTIL THIS PROBLEM GETS RESOLVED. IT HAPPEN AT 6:20 AM STILL DARK OUTSIDE.

RUSTED THROUGH AND LEAKING FUEL SUPPLY AND VAPOR LINES. NOTICED GASOLINE SMELL WHILE DRIVING AND PUDDLE UNDER CAR WHEN PARKED IN HOSPITAL PARKING LOT WHERE I WORK. GM IS FULLY AWARE OF THIS RUST PROBLEM AS THEY COATED THE BRAKE LINES TO PREVENT CORROSION. THIS VIN# IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXISTING RECALL FOR THE 2009 COBALT AND AS A RESULT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASE WANTED OVER $800 TO REPAIR. PICTURE ATTACHED AND STILL HAVE MOST OF THE RUSTED LINES IF YOU WANT THEM.

CHEVY COBALT IS LEAKING BAD IN REAR DRIVER SIDE IN FRONT OF MY TIRE. I HAVE SEEN THIS ISSUE IN MANY COBALT. CHEVY DID A RECALL BUT FOR SOUTHERN STATE. THEY NEED TO ADD IT FOR ALL THE CARS. OTHER NORTHERN STATE HAVE HAD EXTREME HEAT TOO. SMELL LIKE GAS IN CAR. WHEN STOP DRIVING SEES IT LEAKING.

TAKATA RECALL GOT INTO MY 2009 COBALT AND WHEN I TURNED THE KEY, IT DIDN'T START. WHEN I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN, IT CHUGGED A BIT BEFORE IT STARTED AND INSTANTLY HAD A STRONG GAS SMELL. I LOOKED UNDERNEATH ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IN FRONT OF THE BACK WHEEL AND THERE WAS A GAS PUDDLE ABOUT 8" IN DIAMETER AND GAS WAS STILL LEAKING FROM A RUPTURE IN THE GAS LINE. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVY COBALT WITH NO EXISTING RECALLS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME INOPERABLE AND THE STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 129,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR SHUTDOWN. I PULLED OVER AND SMELT GAS. I LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND I NOTICED THE FUEL LINES LEAKING GAS ONTO THE EXHAUST. AFTER LOOKING THE CLOSELY THE FUEL SENDING LINE HAS A HOLE INSIDE THE CLIP, BEHIND THE GAS TANK, HOLDING THE BRAKE LINES.

I STARTED SMELLING GASOLINE WHILE DRIVING. I PARKED THE CAR. I CAME OUT OF MY OFFICE HOURS LATER AND THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE UNDER THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE. I DROVE HOME AND WATCHED AS THE FUEL GAUGE WENT DOWN FROM A HALF TANK TO EMPTY IN THE TIME IT TOOK ME TO DRIVE 4 MILES FROM WORK TO HOME (1 MILE IN THE CITY AND 3 ON THE HIGHWAY). THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM BUT MY CAR IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL SERVICE BECAUSE IT IS IN THE WRONG STATE. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2009 CHEVROLET COBALTS FOR THIS ISSUE BUT MINE IS NOT A PART OF IT AND SHOULD BE OBVIOUSLY.

ECM PROBLEM. LOST STEERING AND ALL DASHBOARD INFORMATION. VECHILE DOES NOT START.DEALER TELLS ME IT IS A BAD ECM AND IT IS $841.00 TO REPAIR IT. INCLUDING A $250.00 CHARGERE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM THAN I FIND OUT THERE WAS A HUGE RECALL ON THESE ECMS BUT FOR SOME REASON MINE WAS NOT INCLUDED. GM SHOULD MAKE GOOD ON THIS AND REPLAVCE IT AT NO CHARGE SINCE THEY KNOW THEY HAVE HAD HUGE ISSUYES WITH THIS

MY 2009 CHEVY COBALT AT TIME TO LOOSE ITS POWER STEERING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND ONLY HAPPENS ON OCCASIONS FOR BRIEF PERIODS. I AM READING RECALLS ON 2009 ELECTRIC POWER STEERING. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN PLEASE BE DONE TO HELP?

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON ALONG WITH TRACTION LIGHT WHICH APPEARS WHEN ENGINE GETS HOT USUALLY AT AN IDLE. SO WHEN TRACTION LIGHT IS ON & YOUR DRIVING IN NORMAL TRAFFIC, CAR WILL SLOW DOWN AND YOU'LL HAVE TO STEP ON GAS REALLY HARD TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC, IF AND WHEN TRANSMISSION DECIDES TO SHIFT GEARS IT WILL BANG REALLY HARD INTO SECOND GEAR .
