2007 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

LOW COMPRESSION IN ONE CYLINDER (74LBS) CAUSING INSPECTION FAILURE. FOUR IGNITION SPARK COILS FAILED AND CHANGED PREVIOUS TO ENGINE FAIL. LUCKILY THE ENGINE HAS NOT BLOWN OUT, NO ONE HURT. OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. MY VEHICLE IS 9YRS OLD, UNDER 79,000 MILES, OIL AND FILTER (WHICH IS TERMED AS "SPECIAL"-IT'S A CORRUGATED "PAPER" FILTER AT AN ADDITIONAL $12+ EVERY CHANGE) CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES. CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE IS NOT "NORMAL" FOR A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE WITH NO HISTORY OF OVERHEATING OR ANY OTHER ISSUE UP TO THIS POINT! HOPEFULLY NO ONE HAS BEEN OR WILL BE INJURED DUE TO ENGINE SEIZURE OR FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. JUST INFORMING OF POSSIBILITIES, THESE VEHICLES SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN SOLD! MY VEHICLE IS STATIONARY SINCE THE END OF APRIL UNTIL I CAN HAVE IT REPAIRED.

THE CAR GOT VERY LOUD DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, GOT HOME SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, THE MECHANIC REPORTED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE WHICH RUINED THE ENGINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT NOTICED A STRONG FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE FUEL MILEAGE WAS AFFECTED AND THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A FUEL LEAK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V419000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED UNTIL THE FUEL TANK WAS REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

THE VEHICLE STALLED AFTER I STOPPED THE CAR AT A STOPLIGHT (CITY STREET). BEFORE THAT (10 MINS OR SO) IT WAS LOOSING ITS ACCELERATION POWER AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD IT TOWED AND THE REPAIR PLACE SAID IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE WHOLE ENGINE REPLACED. THERE WAS A FAULTY TIMING CHAIN COMPONENT.

STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE. LOOKS LIKE SMALL LEAK FROM TOP OF TANK. RECALL ISSUED ON CAR LONG BEFORE I PURCHASED ONE BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. WHETHER DRIVING OR SITTING STILL IT'S VERY STRONG

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT. WITHOUT STARTING THE ENGINE AND ALSO WHILE STARTING THE ENGINE, THE CONTACT SMELLED FUEL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO VISIBLE FUEL LEAKS. WHILE DRIVING, THE FUEL ODOR BECAME STRONGER AS IT EMITTED FROM THE AIR CONDITIONING VENTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

THE DEFECT: NO AUDIBLE WARNING CHIME WHEN THE DRIVERS DOOR IS OPENED AFTER TURNING OFF THE IGNITION AND LEAVING THE KEY IN THE CYLINDER. THERE IS ALSO NO AUDIBLE CHIME WHEN THE SEATBELT IS NOT CONNECTED WHILE DRIVING AND THE TURN SIGNALS MAKE NO AUDIBLE SOUNDS WHEN ON. ALL AUDIBLE SOUNDS ARE PLAYED USING THE VEHICLES SOUND SYSTEM. I SAW THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR OTHER GM MODELS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THIS PROBLEM IS COMMON WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND OTHER SIMILAR GM VEHICLES. MY CHIMES HAVEN'T WORKED RIGHT FOR AWHILE NOW. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A ON GOING PROBLEM WITH GM RADIOS FOR A LONG TIME. A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR NEWER GM VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS GENERAL MOTORS RECALLS CHEVROLET SONIC, TRAX AND SPARK OVER RADIO COMPLIANCE ISSUE READ MORE: HTTP://GMAUTHORITY.COM/BLOG/2016/05/CHEVROLET-SONIC-SPARK-TRAX-RADIO-COMPLIANCE-RECALL/#IXZZ4BOC2C3P3

HAVE A FUEL LEAK WHERE THE LINE MEETS THE FUEL TANK. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE SAME MODEL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT ONLY FOR MODELS IN CERTAIN STATES. SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MANY MORE INDIVIDUALS TOO. TAKE CARE OF YOUR MISTAKES GM! YOU THIEVES!
