2006 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

WHILE DRIVING THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY THEN BEGINS TO SHIFT VERY RUFF AND HARD. WHEN IT HAS BEEN TURNED OFF THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT DOESN'T COME UNTIL DRIVING AGAIN FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. THE SHIFTING HAS MADE IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE IN ACCIDENTS. *TR

MY DAUGHTER WAS INVOLVED IN A VEHICLE ACCIDENT IN THE 2006 CHEVY COBALT THAT WE PURCHASED. THE ACCIDENT WAS SEVERE ENOUGH TO RENDER THE VEHICLE TOTALED. SHE WAS PULLING OUT INTO A LANE OF TRAFFIC AND A CAR HIT HER CAR IN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE CORNER DOING ABOUT 50MPH, SINCE SHE WAS JUST PULLING OUT HER SPEED WASN'T MORE THEN 15-20MPH. THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED EVEN THOUGH THE COLLISION WAS ON THE FRONT CORNER AND WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO SHIFT THE ENGINE BLOCK AND BREAK THE MOTOR MOUNT. WE RECENTLY RECEIVED THE RECALL INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE ENGINE SWITCH AND HAVING BULKY KEY CHAINS AND HOW JARRING COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO SHUT OFF AND NOT DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS. NEITHER OF THE AIRBAGS, THE DRIVERS OR THE PASSENGERS, DEPLOYED AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. *TR

MY WIFE AND I HAVE A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT IN AUGUST 2012 I NOTICED A GASOLINE SMELL COMING FROM THE CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO A SHOP AND THEY FOUND THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY WAS CRACKED. LUCKILY WE CAUGHT THE PROBLEM EARLY AND FUEL HAD NOT BEEN LEAKING REALLY BAD AND WE HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED. DUE TO THE NEWEST RECALLS ON THE COBALT I DECIDED TO LOOK INTO PREVIOUS RECALLS ON THE CAR AND SAW THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM IN 2009 ON THE COBALT BUT ONLY FOR CARS REGISTERED/BOUGHT IN 5 STATES(ILLINOIS NOT BEING ONE). WE FIND THAT TO BE EXTREMELY UNACCEPTABLE AND DANGEROUS. ALL THE COBALT MODEL YEARS HAVE A RECALL ON A FAULTY FUEL PUMP PROBLEM BUT ONLY FOR CARS BOUGHT AND REGISTERED IN 5 STATES THAT'S JUST CRAZY. IF A CAR HAS BEEN DEEMED UNSAFE ENOUGH TO CAUSE A RECALL IN FIVE STATES WHY WAS IT NOT DONE FOR ALL THE STATES/ALL THE COBALT'S. THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS. *TR
