2005 Chevrolet Cobalt complaints

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH DOES NOT WANT TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. IT FEELS LIKE THERE IS NOTHING CONNECTING TO OPEN IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND I HAVE HAD TO CRAWL OVER PASSENGER SIDE TO OPEN IT FROM THE INSIDE. I UNDERSTAND THERE ARE LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

MY CAR IS LEAKING FUEL AT THE GAS TANK. GM RECALLED THE 2006 COBALTS BUT MINE IS A 2005. MY CAR COULD EXPLODE AND GAS IN OUR PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM IS A HUGE CONCERN. THIS CAR IS A LEMON!! I HAVE EXTREME ANXIETY OF DYING IN THIS CAR. I NEED SOMEONE TO GET GM TO RECALL MY CAR ASAP BEFORE I DIE!! I CANT AFFORD TO FIX IT.

ENGINE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. TWICE WHILE STOPPED AND 4 TIMES WHILE CITY DRIVING IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING A TURN. CAR SHUTS DOWN WITH KEY IN THE ON POSITION. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN THE KEY INTO THE OFF POSITION. I CAN THEN TURN THE KEY AND THE CAR TURNS BACK ON. I WAS ALMOST REAR- ENDED. THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED WHEN MY CAR WAS PART OF THE SAFETY RECALL 13454. I CALLED GENERAL MOTORS AT 1 800 222 1020. I TOLD THE GUY THAT THE SAME THING WAS HAPPENING THAT HAPPENED WHEN THEY HAD THE RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH. HE TOLD ME THEY WERE HAVING OTHER CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING HAPPENING. I ASKED HIM HOW COME THEY WEREN'T HAVING A RECALL ON THE RECALL? IT IS VERY SCARY DRIVING THIS CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT NOTHING WOULD BE COVERED AND I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER (WHICH IS 30 MILES AWAY)

THE LIGHTS ALL OVER THE CAR INTERMITTENTLY WORK AND NOT WORK, THE BATTERY DRAINS AND HAVE REPLACE THE BATTERY 4 TIMES.THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I GOT THE CAR WITHE THE LIGHTS. THE STEERING THING JUST STARTED, WHEN YOU MAKE A TURN THE STEERING BINDS UP AS IF THE POWER STEERING IS GOING OUT. ALSO ACTS AS IF THE CAR IS GOING TO STALL. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE IN DRIVE POSITION. IN PARK IT DOESN'T DO THIS. THE POWER STEERING FLUID LEVELS ARE PERFECT. ALSO, WHEN THIS ISSUE STARTS, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE BOUNCES UP TO 40 MPH EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE AT A STOP. THE RADIO WILL SUDDENLY TURN FULL BLAST SOUND FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS AND TURN BACK DOWN. SCARES ME HALF TO DEATH. THERE IS A MAJOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN THIS CAR FOR LIGHTS TO WORK ONE TIME AND THEN NEXT TIME NOT. I GO THROUGH LIGHT BULBS LIKE CRAZY, EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS I AM CHANGING A DIFFERENT BULB. AND THE STEERING ISSUE IS UNSAFE, THE CAR COULD STALL WHILE TRYING TO TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC. STILL AFTER HAVING ALL RECALLS COMPLETED, THE CAR IS STILL NOT SAFE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, WHEN MY WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, AND SAID "ENGN PWR REDUCED" IT IMMEDIATELY SLOWED FROM 70 MPH, TO 10 MPH AND WOULDN'T REV PAST 2000 RPM'S. THE SOURCE CANNOT BE FOUND AS TO WHY IT HAPPENED AND ALMOST COST ME MY LIFE ON THE INTERSTATE.

MY DAUGHTER WAS ACCELERATING TO ENTER THE ON-RAMP ON THE INTERSTATE. THE GAS PEDAL STUCK WHEN SHE ACCELERATED AND SHE WAS UNABLE TO SLOW HER CAR DOWN. SHE WAS FORCED TO MANEUVER THROUGH TRAFFIC AND HAD TO EXIT AT THE NEXT RAMP BECAUSE SHE COULD NOT GET AROUND VEHICLES ON THE INTERSTATE. SHE STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND TRIED TO TAP THE GAS PEDAL LIGHTLY TO SEE IF IT WOULD COME UNSTUCK. AT SOME POINT WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY THE GAS PEDAL CAME UNSTUCK, AND THANKFULLY SHE MANAGED TO STOP HER VEHICLE SAFELY WITHOUT AN ACCIDENT. SHE IS CONCERNED THAT THIS PROBLEM MAY OCCUR AGAIN AND SHE MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY THE NEXT TIME.

MY CAR TURNS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. THREE TIMES I HAVE BEEN ON 45 MPH ROADS, AND HAVE 2 SMALL KIDS. THIS ISN'T THE ONLY MAJOR ISSUE MY CAR. BUT FIRST THE DIGITAL DISPLAY READS ENGINE DISABLED OR ENGINE LOSING POWER THEN ENGINE DISABLED AND LOSES ALL FUNCTION. THERE WAS A RECALL OVER A YEAR AGO FOR THIS MODEL SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING SUPPOSEDLY DUE TO WEIGHT ON THE KEY RING. AFTER THE DEALER FIXED IT THE ISSUE STOPPED UNTIL 3 MNTHS AGO. I CAN ONLY GO A BLOCK BEFORE THE ENGINE DISABLES NOW, IT PROGRESSIVELY HAPPENED SOONER AND SOONER. A FRIEND WHO IS OLD BUDDIES WITH A DIAGNOSTICS SPECIALIST INTRODUCED ME AND HE WAS ABLE TO TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING ON TO FINE DETAILS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE ABOUT ANY RECALLS AND RELAYED THE INFO HE'D GIVEN ME AND THEY DOWN PLAYED IT LIKE THEY GUY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. THE DEALER THINKS ITS A THROTTLE OR ENGINE PROBLEM. THE GUY I KNOW SAID THE COMPUTER CHIP IN THE KEY LIKELY GOT MESSED UP POSSIBLY FROM HAVING MY CELL PHONE NEXT TO IT A LOT, THAT THE PART IN THE IGNITION THAT READS THE SIGNAL FROM THE KEY IS GETTING MIXED INFO AND SIGNALS THE ENGINE TO SHUT DOWN . HE ALSO SAID THAT ONCE IT HAPPENS, A LOOP IS CREATED TO WHERE EVERY TIME I TURN THEY KEY IT STARTS THE CYCLE OVER WHERE EVERYTHING IS OKAY IN THE BEGINNING BUT THE INFO GETS MISREAD OVER N OVER WHICH IS WHY HE SAID I SHOULD GET A NEW KEY- AND (I THINK THIS IS WHAT HE SAID) TO REPLACE TO WHOLE IGNITION COLUMN SO ALL PARTS INVOLVED WOULD BE NEW.

I'VE PAID OVER $400 DOLLARS INTO THIS CAR FOR BATTERIES IN THE LAST 18 MONTHS BECAUSE OF THE MANUFACTURER DEFAULT. WHEN I GOT THE CAR, THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS A PROBLEM THE FIRST NIGHT, AND WE HAD TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY, WHERE ALL THEY DID WAS SPRAY SOME WD-40 IN THE HOLE. THAT WAS BEFORE THE RECALL WAS MADE NEWS. ON SEPT, 11, 2015 I WAS LEAVING A STORE, AND TRIED TURNING ON THE CAR AND IT DIDN'T START. I'VE HAD BATTERY PROBLEMS BEFORE (WITH THIS VEHICLE TOO) AND JUST HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED 18 M AGO, BUT THERE WAS NO CHECK BATTERY WARNING LIGHT EARLIER OR ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE PERFORMANCE. AT THE TIME, I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS THE BATTERY BECAUSE THE RADIO, A/C, ETC HAD NO PROBLEM TURNING ON BUT THE ENGINE ITSELF WOULDN'T START. AND USUALLY BATTERIES HAVE NO PROBLEM IN SUMMER WEATHER. AFTER A TOW GETTING TO THE AUTO SHOP, THEY HOOKED UP A CHARGER TO THE BATTERY, AND STARTED IT UP, AND SAID I NEEDED A NEW BATTERY! I SAID NO, THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE, I GOT A NEW BATTERY JUST 18 MONTHS AGO. ITS PROBABLY THE IGNITION RECALL THAT IS THE OVERALL PROBLEM BECAUSE UNTIL THIS YEAR (WHEN THE DEALERSHIP FINALLY GOT ME IN) THE IGNITION WAS SLIPPING OUT OF THE OFF POSITION RANDOMLY OVER-NIGHT. OR IT MIGHT BE THE FACT THAT THE MANUFACTURER PUT THE BATTERY IN THE TRUNK WHERE THERE'S NO AIR CIRCULATION! WHAT WAS CHEVY THINKING. IN A RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT, I SHOULD BE ENTITLED COMPENSATION FOR THIS, I MEAN $400 FOR THE SAME PART IN A 18 MONTH SPAN BECAUSE THEY PUT
