2009 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

I HAVE A BIG ISSUE ABOUT THE ODOMETER READING ON MY COBALT. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALERSHIP. I BOUGHT MY CAR 7/29/09 AND IT NOW HAS 59,740 MILES ON IT. THIS IS ONLY AN IN TOWN CAR. I BOUGHT TIRES IN 3/11 AND THE TIRE PLACE LAST WEEK SAID I PUT OVER 12,000 MILES SINCE THEN. THIS IS NO WAY POSSIBLE. THEY SAY THEY HAVE TESTED IT AND THERE IS NO PROBLEMS. I HAVE NOT CHANGE MY DRIVING HABITS SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR. THE CAR I HAD BEFORE THIS HAD A REGULAR ODOMETER AND NOT THE DIGITAL. THE CAR WAS 1997 AND IT HAD 155,000 AND I DROVE OUT OF TOWN A LOT. BY THE END OF THE YEAR I WON'T HAVE A POWER TRAIN WARRANTY ANYMORE. THERE IS JUST NO WAY IN HELL THIS IS CORRECT AND I HAVE HEARD OTHERS SAY THE SAME. SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THIS ISSUE.. THIS LOOKS LIKE A WAY FOR THE MANUFACTURES TO GET OUT OF WARRANTIES. *TR

STEERING COLUMN IS MAKING LOUD NOISE AND CAUSES RATTLING WHEN ON GRAVEL OR SLOWING DOWN TO STOP. HAD POWER STEERING MOTOR REPLACE AS P[ER RECALL. CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL CAUSE THE STEERING TO FAIL. DO NOT WANT TO FIX IN CASE AS IT COSTS $800. ACCORDING TO LEDINGHAM IN STEINBACH MANITOBA. WILL THIS BE A RECALL ITEM? IF I PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED AND IT IS RECALLED WILL THEY HAVE TO REIMBURSE ME FOR MY COSTS? THE CAR IS A 2009 COBALT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TURNED OFF AND BACK ON IN ORDER TO RESET THE STEERING WHEEL BUT THE CONTACT STATED THE FIX DID NOT LAST VERY LONG. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY THE DEALER. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,000. WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS THE POWER STEERING LIGHT POPS UP AND THE WHEEL IS REALLY HARD TO TURN. ITS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN WHEN GETTING OUT THE PARKING SPOT. I HAVE TO TURN MY CAR OFF AT LEAST 2 TIMES TO STRAIGHTEN IT OUT BECAUSE ITS SO HARD TO TURN. ITS THE HARDEST TO TURN WHEN DRIVING SLOW. UPDATED 10/06/2011 *LN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF WHEN IT WAS IN PARK AND TURNED OFF.

A/C NOT DRAINING PROPERLY .WATER COMING INSIDE OF CAR ON PASSENGER SIDE CARPET. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING AT 70MPH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES. THE POWER STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL FUNCTION FOR A FEW MINUTES, AND THEN CONTINUED TO FAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE VIN INFORMATION WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,050.

THE COBALT BRAKES HAVE ALWAYS MADE A SCREECHING SOUND, WHICH GM HAS ADDRESSED AS BEING NORMAL. CHEVROLET #08-05-22-004: INFORMATION ON BRAKE SQUEAL/SQUEAK NOISE - (JUL 15, 2008)] HOWEVER, I HAD TO PREMATURELY REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES AND HAVE THE ROTORS CUT AFTER ONLY 27,039 MILES, WHILE THE FRONT BRAKES STILL HAD 50% LIFE LEFT. THIS IS NOT A NORMAL OCCURRENCE, SINCE THE FRONT BRAKES SHOULD HAVE WORN OUT BEFORE THE REAR ONES. WHILE I WAS ABLE TO GET 27,039 MILES OF WEAR, THE FACT THAT THERE IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT IN THE SYSTEM MEANS THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE CONDITION WILL NOT WORSEN IN TIME. THERE IS ALSO THE CHANCE THAT THE SYSTEM COULD FAIL COMPLETELY CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. FINALLY, THE SCREECHING SOUND IS GETTING WORSE. THIS SOUND, ALONG WITH THE BRAKE WEAR, WILL VIRTUALLY REDUCE THE VALUE OF THE CAR CONSIDERABLY, MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TRADE OR SELL, UNLESS GM CORRECTS THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHUT OFF EVEN AFTER REMOVING THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION.
