2009 CHEVROLET COBALT SS Complaints

REAR BRAKES AND ROTORS EXHIBIT EXCESSIVE WEAR. ROTORS GROOVED AND PADS WORN ON INSIDE OF ROTORS ONLY. FINALLY HAD ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED @ 19,800 MILES. *TR

MY REAR BRAKES RUB. THEY ARE VERY LOUD AND I ONLY HAVE 7,000 MILES ON IT. THERE ARE MARKS IN THEM. I WAS TOLD THAT IS NORMAL. I DID NOT KNOW THAT CHEVY WOULD INSTALL BRAKES THAT ARE LOUD AND FAIL AS NORMAL. *TR

MY 2009 CHEVY COBALT SS TURBOCHARGED HAS REAR DISC BRAKES THAT ARE WEARING PREMATURELY, SCREECHING/SQUEAKING NOISES ARE OCCURRING. MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS AND I'VE DRIVEN IT FROM ANN ARBOR, MI TO LAKE ORION, MI COUNTLESS TIMES FOR WORK AND SCHOOL. THE FRONT BRAKES WORK GREAT BUT THE REAR ONES ARE CAUSING ME TROUBLE. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, THANK YOU MUCH- *TR

NOTICED MULTIPLE TIMES THAT MY PARKING BRAKE SEEMED TO "HANG UP" WHEN RELEASED. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG . I AM AT APPROX 10,500 MILES NOW AND HAVE NO PARKING BRAKE TO HOLD MY CAR. I WAS TOLD BOTH THE INNER PADS ON BOTH SIDES FOR MY REAR BRAKES WERE GONE AND WILL NEED THE ROTORS REPLACED ALSO. HAVE YET TO HAVE BRAKES DUE TO LACK OF AVAILABLE PARTS TO REPLACED THEM. *TR

2009 CHEVROLET COBALT SS BRAKES SQUEAK AFTER 2 WEEKS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE- I CANNOT STEP ON MY BRAKES WITHOUT HEARING THE NOISE OF THEM SQUEAKING. THE NOISE WILL NOT GO AWAY! *TR

THE REAR BRAKE ROTORS ON MY 2009 CHEVY COBALT SS ARE WEARING AND GROOVING EXCESSIVELY. SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW THEY WOULD SQUEAK LOUDLY AND I NOTICED THE DEEP RECESSES AFTER ONLY 1000 MILES. I'VE BEEN TO TWO DEALERSHIPS AND THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS NORMAL AND IT WAS HOW IT WAS DESIGNED, ONE EVEN SAID IT WAS TO KEEP RUST OF THE ROTOR! *TR

I HAVE A 2009 COBALT SS AND THE REAR BRAKES ARE ALREADY FAILING AFTER A COUPLE THOUSAND MILES OF USE ON THE VEHICLE. GM NEEDS TO REPLACE THESE REAR BRAKES WITH A BETTER QUALITY PRODUCT. *TR

SHIFTING I THREW THE GEARS QUICKLY TO GET UP TO SPEED OF TRAFFIC. THE SHIFT LINKAGE BREAKS AND CAR IS EITHER STUCK IN GEAR OR NEUTRAL WITH NO ACCELERATION CAUSING TRAFFIC TO BREAK HEAVY OR ACCIDENT BEHIND VEHICLE. REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY WITH SIMILAR PARTS BUT STILL SAME PLASTIC ENDS AND CLIPS SHOULD ME METAL ON DRIVE LINE PARTS. *TR

I OWN A 2009 CHEVY COBALT SS/TC WITH LESS THAN 15K MILES ON IT MY REAR BRAKES HAVE BECOME COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE WITH UNUSUAL WEAR PROPERTIES TO THE INSIDE PAD. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED, AND THIS TIME THE PAD MATERIAL SEPARATED FROM THE BACKING PLATE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE MAKING THE CAR PULL TOWARDS THE RIGHT ANYTIME I SLOW DOWN AND LOCK THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR TIRE DESPITE HAVING ABS ANYTIME IT RAINS. *TR

SEVERE GROOVING ON REAR BRAKE ROTORS AFTER APPROXIMATELY 8,000 MILES. INBOARD BRAKE PADS ARE WEARING FASTER THAN OUTBOARDS. ALSO A NOTICEABLE GRINDING NOISE UPON APPLYING BRAKES. THIS ISSUE WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF MANUFACTURER'S DEALER. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL CONDITION AND NO REPAIR IS NEEDED. FRONT BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS APPEAR TO BE WEARING NORMALLY. VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 14,000 MILES AND REAR BRAKE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE BECOMING MORE SEVERE. *TR
