2007 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

CRACK ON MY FUEL TANK CRACK CAUSING GASOLINE TO LEAK OUT AND FUMES TO ENTER MY CAR. *TR

CAR'S POWER STEERING FAILED. THIS IS MY 22 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER'S CAR. LUCKILY SHE WAS NOT GOING AT A HIGH SPEED OR ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS A $1200.00 REPAIR. EVEN THOUGH A RECALL WAS MADE ON THIS MODEL, IT APPARENTLY AFFECTED ONLY MODELS BUILT AT CERTAIN FACTORIES. GM SHOULD RECALL ALL THESE VEHICLES SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. *TR

2007 CHEVROLET COBALT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO WAITING SEVERAL MONTHS FOR PARTS TO COMPLETE RECALL. *SMD

I AM EXTREMELY UPSET WITH MY 2007 CHEVY COBALT, I DO NOT WANT TO COMPLAIN, HOWEVER, SOMETHING MUST BE DONE. FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE HAD THE CAR I HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE WARRANTY. I NEEDED TO REPLACE MULTIPLE KEYS AND DOOR HANDLES. RECENTLY. THE CAR HAS FAILED AND IS SITTING. I FIND THIS IRONIC SINCE MY WARRANTY RECENTLY RAN OUT. THE TIMING CHAIN JUMPED AND BENT THE VALVES. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS REPAIR AND IS VERY COSTLY. I HAVE HAD EVERYTHING CHECK REGULARLY. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND I NEARLY WRECKED MY CAR, AS I WAS DRIVING WHEN IT HAPPENED. I RECENTLY RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CAR WAS RECALLED BEFORE FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE. PRIOR TO THE ENGINE ISSUES RECENTLY, I HAD NOTICED AN IGNITION AND STEERING PROBLEM. HOWEVER, NOW I CANT EVEN MOVE THE CAR TO GET THE RECALL ISSUE RESOLVED. THIS VEHICLE WAS MY FIRST CAR, THE CAR IS NEARLY NEW AND WAS WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. ESPECIALLY SO CLOSE TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRATION AND WITH NO WARNING. THERE WAS NO WAY TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. I WAS NOT AWARE THAT COBALTS HAD ZERO TOLERANCE. THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE CASE. I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR IF I KNEW OF THESE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS. I HAVE FAITH THAT GM WILL HELP TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES. THANKS SO MUCH. *TR

IN MY WORDS AND EXPERIENCE THAT HAPPENED ON THE DAY OF 03/13/2013, APPX 4:30 PM ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK, LIKE ANY OTHER DAY OVER CROWDED TRAFFIC HOUR , STOP AND GO, I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE LOSS OF POWER IN MY VEHICLE. TWICE IT STARTED LOOSING POWER THEN THE VEHICLE VEERED TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC I STEERED TO THE RIGHT AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT STEER BACK INTO NORMAL POSITION CAUSING ME TO GO OVER A DIRT EMBANKMENT AND OFF A CLIFF, AT THAT POINT I DO NOT THINK THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING, I LITERALLY THOUGHT THIS WAS THE END OF MY LIFE, GOING THROUGH TREES ,HITTING ROCKS. THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO BUT TO WAIT TO DIE. THEN THE VEHICLE HIT SOMETHING REAL HARD CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL OVER AND COME TO A STOP. I JUST REMEMBER WANTING TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AS FAST AS I COULD. I HAD TO CRAWL OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE TO GET OUT. I DIDN'T SEE ANYONE I COULDN'T SEE THE ROADWAY I WAS SO FAR DOWN. I HEARD PEOPLE YELLING IF I WAS OK. I THEN REMEMBERED I NEEDED MY PURSE AND MY PHONE TO GET HELP SO I CRAWLED BACK INTO THE CAR I FOUND MY PURSE BUT NO PHONE OR KEYS UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS RECOVERED BY CHP RECOVERY. AT THE TIME I DIDN'T FEEL I NEEDED MEDICAL ATTENTION, BUT SINCE THE ACCIDENT MY BACK AND MY BALANCE ARE NOT THE SAME AS THEY USE TO. I'VE ALSO BEEN HAVING DIFFICULTIES WITH MY MEMORY. *TR
