2006 Chevrolet Cobalt complaints

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. TWO MONTHS LATER, THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 14V047000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND 14V171000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS, BUT IT DID NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE THE CONTACT WAS EXPERIENCING.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATELY FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

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

ON MAY 28, 2006, MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING SOLO IN A RENTED 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT ON AN UNDIVIDED HIGHWAY LEADING FROM THE NORTH RIM OF THE GRAND CANYON. THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE EXCELLENT: IT WAS 9 AM ON A SUNDAY MORNING WITH VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC, ON A STRAIGHT, DRY ROAD WITH OPEN COUNTRY ON EITHER SIDE. WITNESSES TO HIS ACCIDENT REPORT THAT AFTER HE PASSED A CAMPER AT A NORMAL SPEED FOR THAT HIGHWAY AND BEGAN TO PULL BACK IN FRONT OF IT, HIS CAR ABRUPTLY VEERED OFF THE LANE AND ONTO THE RIGHT SHOULDER, WHERE HE LOST CONTROL. THE CAR FISHTAILED, SKIDDED BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY, AND ROLLED OVER SEVERAL TIMES. OTHER DRIVERS STOPPED IMMEDIATELY TO HELP, BUT MY HUSBAND WAS UNRESPONSIVE AND DIED A WEEK LATER WITHOUT REGAINING CONSCIOUSNESS. ALL WHO SAW THE ACCIDENT WERE AT A LOSS TO EXPLAIN HOW OR WHY IT OCCURRED. MY HUSBAND WAS AN EXPERIENCED AND VERY CAREFUL DRIVER, IN GOOD HEALTH AND ALERT THAT MORNING. THE RECENT NEWS ABOUT FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES IN COBALTS OF THAT ERA FINALLY PROVIDES A PLAUSIBLE EXPLANATION. HE HAD LONG LEGS AND COULD EASILY HAVE BUMPED THE STEERING COLUMN OR IGNITION KEYS DURING NORMAL OPERATION OF A CAR THAT WAS UNFAMILIAR TO HIM. IT'S FAR TOO LATE TO EXAMINE THE CAR, BUT I HOPE THIS ACCOUNT CONTRIBUTES CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT THERE WERE MORE DEATHS CAUSED BY THOSE FAULTY SWITCHES THAN WILL EVER BE PROVEN-- OR REDRESSED. *TR

I HAVE WRITTEN AT LEAST 1-2 LETTERS TO GMC, SPOKE W/REPS FOR HOURS FOR YEARS, REACHED OUT TO SM, & ATTEMPTED TO HANDLE THE ISSUE MYSELF, & I AM DISGUSTED & FURIOUS AT THE WAY GMC HAS BRUSHED OFF LOYAL, PAYING CONSUMERS W/NO REGARD. MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW OFF OF THE LOT & I LOVED IT. AFTER HAVING MANDATORY RECALL WORK DONE IN 2010, THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER THE SAME. MY PASSENGERS WERE OFTEN TIMES FRIGHTENED BY THE UNFAMILIAR HANDLING OF A 2006: IT JERKED, BUCKED, CUT OFF, & OFTEN TIMES WOULD NOT CUT BACK ON. ONCE, WHEN DRIVING A FRIEND THAT SERVES IN THE MILITARY, I WENT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN & THE CAR CUT OUT OF THE TURN & TURNED OFF. IF TRAFFIC WOULD HAVE BEEN COMING, WE BOTH WOULD HAVE DIED THAT DAY. I CRIED & BEGGED GMC FOR YEARS THAT I FEARED FOR MY LIFE & SOMETHING WAS VERY WRONG W/THE CAR. THEY DENIED ANY KNOWING OF MY ISSUE & MADE ME PAY HUNDREDS AFTER HUNDREDS IN DIAGNOSTIC FEES THAT WERE FRUITLESS LABOR. DEALERS & REPS MADE IT SEEM AS IF I WERE CRAZY & JUST TRYING TO BE PROBLEMATIC INSTEAD OF HONESTLY ADDRESSING MY ISSUE & TAKING ME SERIOUS. ONCE I FINALLY RECEIVED RECALL PAPERS, MY CAR CEASED TO TAKE ANY MORE ABUSE. THE ENGINE HAS BEEN YANKED & KNOCKED TO THE POINT OF EXHAUSTION & WHAT WAS ONCE MY MOST PRIZED POSSESSION IS NOW A NON-MOVING MASS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. I HAVE ACCRUED A NUMBER OF SPEEDING TICKETS DUE TO THE SPASTIC SPEEDOMETER MOVING OUT OF CONTROL (WHICH I TOOK VIDEOS OF & SENT TO GMC), SCRUNCHED THE FRONT OF MY HOOD DUE TO THE CAR LOCKING UP

AFTER RECALL SWITCH REPLACEMENT, AIRBAGS LIGHT WARNING SYSTEM IS COMING ON IN MY 2006 CHEVY COBALT. SPOKE TO GM LOCAL DEALER CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND HE SAID IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL. THEN WHAT WAS THE POINT IN REPLACING SWITCH? MY AIRBAGS ARE STILL NOT WORKING WHILE I DRIVE MY CAR. MY CAR IS STILL NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BUT THEY GAVE IT BACK TO ME ANYWAYS WITHOUT FIXING THE AIRBAG PROBLEM. NOW THEY WANT ME TO PAY TO FIX MY AIRBAGS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP. *TR

MY 2006 CHEVY COBALT SS SUPERCHARGED STARTED MALFUNCTIONING IN FEB 2013 DRIVING THE HWY THE CAR WOULD JOLT AS IF IT WAS RUNNING OUT OF GAS SAME THING OCCURRED ON APRIL 2013. THE BIG PROBLEM HAPPENED SEPT 2013, DRIVING 75 ON THE FWY MY COBALT STARTED TO JOLT AND LOOSE POWER AND THE SPEED STARTED SLOWING DOWN ALL THE WAY TO 30MPG I WAS BARLEY ABLE TO MAKE MY WAY THROUGH TRAFFIC TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, ONCE PULLED OVER MY COBALT DIDN'T WANT TO START AND WHEN IT DID IT WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 100 FEET AND SLOW DOWN THEN TURN OFF. SINCE THEN MY COBALT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. AT LOW RPM'S IT DIES OFF. SINCE THAT DAY MY BOOST GAUGE DOESN'T WORK. MY MPG'S HAVE DRAMATICALLY FELL ABOUT 10, ILL FILL UP HALF THE TANK AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW IT DROPS TO EMPTY. ALSO WHILE DRIVING WHEN I HIT POT HOLES THE CAR TURNS OFF. IT HAS A HARD TIME STARTING UP. I'VE READ THROUGH THE FORUMS AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS YET AND IF NOT WHO NOT?! WOULDN'T YOU THINK CARS FAILING ON THE FWY IS A MAJOR RED FLAG? *TR

THIS COMPLAINT IS THAT THE FUEL PUMP RECALL FOR THIS CAR, WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V419000, DID NOT SHOW UP IN THE DATABASE VISIBLE TO EITHER MY MECHANIC OR A GM DEALER. THIS IS A LIFE-THREATENING PART FAILURE, WITH SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF GASOLINE LEAKING FROM THE CAR, EITHER WHILE IT IS MOVING OR STOPPED, AND I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS ISSUE. MY CAR CURRENTLY HAS THIS PROBLEM, LEAKING GASOLINE AT QUITE A RAPID RATE. THE FUEL SMELL WHILE DRIVING IS UNBEARABLE. WHEREVER I PARK A PUDDLE OF GASOLINE FORMS UNDER THE CAR. IF I PARKED IN A CLOSED GARAGE, THIS WOULD BE A TERRIBLE SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS FOR GOOD REASON THAT THIS RECALL WAS PUT IN PLACE. HOWEVER, APPARENTLY THIS ISSUE SHOWS UP IN THE GM SYSTEM AS A "SPECIAL COVERAGE" AND NOT A RECALL. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS ISSUE ONLINE. I WAS SEARCHING BECAUSE I WAS PREPARING TO PAY $833 FOR MY MECHANIC TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY. WHEN I PHONED THE DEALER, HE SAID HE HAD TO GET TO "ANOTHER SCREEN" TO SEE THE SPECIAL COVERAGE ITEMS, AND HE ONLY DID THAT BECAUSE I PROMPTED HIM. APPARENTLY THEY DON'T HAVE A SYSTEM IN PLACE TO WARN CAR OWNERS OF THIS ISSUE EVEN WHEN THE OWNER HAS THEIR VEHICLE IN FOR A RECALL (WHICH MINE WAS IN THE LAST TWO YEARS). I HAVE ALSO NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE OF THIS RECALL, AND I'VE OWNED THE CAR SINCE JANUARY OF 2007. AFTER THE RECENT PRESS COVERAGE OF THE RECALL OF THE IGNITION SWITCH FOR THIS VEHICLE, I AM SHOCKED THAT THIS KIND OF A SAFETY CONCERN IS ESSENTIALLY BEING HIDDEN FROM PUBLIC VIEW. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE DASHBOARD FLASHES "POWER STEERING" REPEATEDLY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE SECURITY THEFT LIGHT CAME ON. AS I CAME TO A STOP THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND DOWN SHIFTED HARD. AS I BEGAN TO EXCEL FROM A STOP, IT ALSO SHIFTED REALLY HARD. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING, MY SPEEDOMETER BECAME EROTIC. ON MULTIPLE INCIDENCES WHEN I CAME TO A STOP BY CAR'S RPM DROPPED BELOW 500 AND ACTED AS IF IT WERE ABOUT TO STALL.

MY VEHICLE SMELLS OF GASOLINE AND HAS BEEN LEAKING LIKE CRAZY. I AM GETTING LESS THAN 17 MILES PER GALLON AND LOSING A TON OF GAS DUE TO THE FUEL PUMP RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE UNDER RECALL IN EVERY STATE AND NOT JUST A FEW. IF IT IS RECALLED ON ANY 2006 CHEVY COBALT I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE RECALLED ON ALL OF THEM NO MATTER WHAT THE STATE. I LIVE IN MICHIGAN AND THEREFORE ITS STATED THERE IS NO RECALL FOR IT HERE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS AND IN GM FOR SELLING A CAR WITH AS MANY RECALLS AS THE COBALT HAS AND ONLY CHOOSING VERY FEW STATES FOR THE RECALL TO BE GRANTED. I USED TO BE A HUGE GM FAN BUT, NOW AFTER HAVING AS MANY ISSUES AS I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR AND LIVING IN MICHIGAN NOT BEING ABLE TO HAVE IT FIXED UNDER RECALL, I NO LONGER FEEL THE SAME, IN FACT I AM STRONGLY THINKING OF GOING FOREIGN. THANKS GM FOR LETTING DOWN YET ANOTHER CUSTOMER. PLEASE GET BACK TO ME WHEN YOU WANT TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS EVERYWHERE AND NOT JUST IN CERTAIN STATES. THIS IS YOUR FAULT THAT THE CAR IS SO FAULTY AND I THINK YOU SHOULD STAND UP AND OWN UP TO IT AND FIX THE CHEVY COBALT'S NO MATTER WHAT STATE THEY ARE IN. HOW DOES IT EVEN MATTER WHAT STATE A PERSON IS IN ANYWAYS A DEFAULT PART IS A DEFAULT PART, ISN'T IT? *TR

I HAD BECOME AWARE OF THE RECALL, JUST THE WEEK PRIOR AND WAS PLANNING ON MAKING ARRANGEMENTS TO HAVE THE CAR FIXED, ONCE THE PARTS (3-4 WEEKS OUT FROM WHAT I WAS EXPLAINED) ARRIVED. I WAS ALSO EXPLAINED VIA THE DEALER AND WHAT I READ ON LINE THAT THE CAR SHOULD BE OK TO DRIVE SO LONG AS THERE WAS NOTHING ON THE KEY. SO I REQUESTED MY DAUGHTER TO ONLY USE THE KEY WITH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ON IT, WHEN USING MY CAR. AT APPROXIMATELY 2PM ON A CLEAR SUNNY DAY, MY DAUGHTER WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY. AS SHE WAS SLOWING DOWN, THE CAR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF ON HER. BEFORE SHE HAD TIME TO REACT SHE HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. SHE WAS FORTUNATELY NOT INJURED, MAINLY BECAUSE SHE WAS ALREADY SLOWING DOWN AND HAD IT BEEN A FEW MINUTES EARLIER, THINGS MAY HAVE BEEN DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 7 YEARS AND I DROVE IT QUITE A BIT AND LET MY DAUGHTER DO SO AS WELL. I AM ANGRY THAT GM HAS ALLOWED MY DAUGHTER AND I TO BE AT RISK FOR SUCH A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND EVEN AS I AM WRITING THIS (2 WEEKS LATER) THE ONLY ANSWERS I HAVE REALLY BEEN GIVEN FROM GM ARE ANSWERS I HAVE HAD TO CALL AND PRESS THEM ON, WHICH FOR THE MOST PART IS ALMOST NO INFORMATION AT ALL. I AM SURE THEY ARE BEING INUNDATED WITH COMPLAINTS AND HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE MEDIA, CONGRESS, NHTSA, BUT I CANNOT FEEL ANY EMPATHY OR SYMPATHY FOR THAT MATTER, WHEN THEY HAVE HAD YEARS TO DEAL WITH THIS AND SIMPLY SWEPT THIS UNDER THE RUG. HARSH AND SWIFT ACTION MUST BE TAKEN TO PUNISH THEM AND SET AN EXAMPLE TO ALL OTHERS. ENOUGH WITH
