2009 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

MY ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING IS CUTTING IN AND OUT AT RANDOM TIME INTERVALS. CALLED THE DEALER TO SEE IF MY COBALT WAS PART OF THE AFFECTED RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR FOR MY CAR UNDER THAT RECALL. *JS

MY INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT WENT OUT HAD IT REPLACED A MONTH LATER IT WENT OUT AGAIN. NO TWO MONTHS LATER HAD IT IN AGAIN IT NEEDS ENTIRE STEERING RACK $610 FOR GM ' BRAND. FROM WHAT I READ ONLINE GM SUEDE THE MAKER OF THE STEERING RACK TO PAY THEIR CUSTOMERS IT IS A PLASTIC GEAR. THE GREATEST THING ABOUT THE CAR IS THE WATER THAT COMES INSIDE DOWN MY AIR BAG WHEN IT RAINS. I'VE TOOK IT IN 7 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. BESIDES THE RECALLS THE DOOR HANDLE FELL OFF. HEAD LIGHT GOT WATER IN IT. IT NEVER ENDS. *JS

THE DIC SHOWS THE READING OF EACH TIRE PRESSURE BACKWARDS, FOR EXAMPLE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL IS ACTUALLY THE REAR RIGHT WHEEL, AND LEFT FRONT IS ACTUALLY REAR FRONT. ALSO I AM UNABLE TO USE THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE LIGHTS TURNS ON BUT THE CAR DOES NOT ENGAGE IN THE SAME SPEED FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL. *JS

MULTIPLE RECALL FAILURES: 2009 CHEVY COBALT LT IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE, AIRBAGS FAILURE TO DEPLOY, POWER STEERING FAILURE, BRAKE FAILURE, GEAR BOX FAILURE. IGNITION SWITCH FAILURE CAUSE VEHICLE TO STALL, VEHICLE WAS THEN HIT IN REAR BY 16 WHEEL TRACTOR TRAILER, THUS CAUSING DRIVER TO BE KNOCKED IN THE BACK SIT OF VEHICLE, INJURY TO HEAD, TO INSIDE OF MOUTH, BRAKING OF TEETH ON BOTH SIDES OF MOUTH, NECK INJURY, RIGHT AND LEFT SHOULDER INJURY, BACK INJURY, AND NEVER DAMAGE TO RIGHT SHOULDER PLATE, DRIVER IS IN CONTINUOUS PAIN SINCE THIS ACCIDENT APPROX 11 MONTHS. DRIVER STILL IN POSSESSION OF VEHICLE BECAUSE HE IS TOTALED DISABLE, AND DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT WHAT CORRECT MEASURES TO TAKE. NATIONWIDE INSURANCE DECLARED VEHICLE A TOTALED LOSS, REQUEST DRIVER TO GIVE THEM POWER OF ATTORNEY RIGHTS TO PAY OFF CURRENT LIEN HOLDER. OWNER FELTED UNEASED TO DO SO, THEREFORE HAS CONTINUOUSLY PAID ON VEHICLE FOR 11 MONTHS AND HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DRIVE VEHICLE. I NEED HELP, I ONCE WORKED FOR REGION IV NTSB AGENCY HERE IN ATLANTA I HAVE NEVER FELT SO VICTIMIZED IN MY LIFE BY GM AND NATIONWIDE. I REALLY NEED DIRECTION AND HAVE SOUGHT LEGAL. BUT GM COMPENSATION PROGRAM WILL NOT COMMUNICATE WITH CONSUMERS LAWYER PER PROTOCOLS FOR COMPENSATORY DAMAGES. *TR

MY TIRES CONSISTENTLY LOSE AIR AT AN ACCELERATED RATE. DESPITE REPLACING ALL TIRES, THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT REPLACING THE RIMS WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I FEEL THAT THIS RECOMMENDATION IS PREMATURE GIVEN THE AGE OF THE CAR. THE RIMS SHOULD NOT HAVE CORRODED SO MUCH TO THE POINT WHERE I HAVE TO REPLACE THEM AFTER 5 YEARS. I HAVE TO PUMP AIR INTO MY TIRES 2 TIMES A WEEK TO MAINTAIN A SAFE PRESSURE FOR DRIVING. *TR

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, REAR ENDED LADY GOING 50 MPH AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS FAULTY AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, WHILE ENTERING THE HIGHWAY AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT AND INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AS A RESULT, A SECOND VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED AND NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS NORMAL.

MY 2009 CHEVY COBALT IS PART OF THE RECALL AFFECTING THE IGNITION SYSTEM, I HAVE WAITED FOR MONTHS FOR THE PART TO BECOME AVAILABLE AND FINALLY RECEIVED A NOTICE STATING THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAD THE PART. I CONTACTED THEM TO SET UP A DATE TO DROP IT OFF ONLY TO BE INFORMED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART. ACCORDING TO GM'S CEO THE PARTS WOULD ALL BE AVAILABLE BY THE END OF OCTOBER. I FEEL LIKE I AM GETTING A HUGE RUN AROUND FROM GM IN GETTING THIS VEHICLE REPAIRED AND NEED SOME HELP GETTING THIS FINALLY HANDLED. *TR

I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL ON MY CAR THAT I DID GET FIXED AND AFTER THE FACT MY CAR KEY WAS LOCKED IN THE IGNITION TWICE AFTER THIS SERVICE WAS COMPLETED.. I REALLY DON'T WANT A CHEVY ANY LONGER.. HAVE HAD TO MAY PROBLEMS. *TR
