2006 Chevrolet Cobalt complaints

THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT HAS GONE OUT. THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN AND ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ON ALL COBALTS HAVE HAD NUMEROUS RECALL ISSUES. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF CHEVROLET UTILIZING INFERIOR PRODUCTS ON THEIR VEHICLE RESULTING IN EXPENSIVE REPAIRS IN ADDITION TO STEERING PROBLEMS WHEREBY THE STEERING BECOMES EXTREMELY DIFFICULT INTERMITTENTLY AND ULTIMATELY RESULTING IN STEERING FAILURE SHOULD THE PROBLEM NOT BE RESOLVED. THE SAME STEERING SYMPTOMS FROM THE RECALL REGARDING THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ISSUES.

WHEN THE CAR WAS IN PARK, WE NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS. WHEN WE LOOKED UNDER THE CAR IT WAS LEAKING FROM WHAT APPEARED TO BE THE GAS TANK. I TOOK IT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THAT IT WAS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL PUMP. THE REPAIR IS GOING TO COST ME AROUND $600. THE MECHANIC WAS NICE ENOUGH TO REMIND ME ABOUT CERTAIN RECALLS ON THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND MODEL FROM CHEVY. WHEN I LOOK AT THE RECALLS, THE PARTICULAR PROBLEM IS LISTED, BUT FOR SOME REASON, CHEVY MADE IT REAL CONVENIENT TO SAY THAT ONLY CERTAIN CHEVY COBALTS 2006 WERE GOING TO BE FIXED. AS I ENTERED THE VIN NUMBER TO CHECK IT, MINE STATES THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY CAR. MY CAR FITS ALL THE CRITERIA, WHY IS IT THAT MINE DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL? I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW, IF MY CAR DID NOT "QUALIFY" FOR THE RECALL, THEN WHAT 2006 CHEVY COBALTS QUALIFIED FOR THE GAS LEAK REPAIR? IT SEEMS AS THOUGH, WE THE CONSUMERS, HAVE TO PAY FOR A PROBLEM CHEVY CREATED BY USING CHEAP PARTS. VERY UPSET. WE ARE NOT PURCHASING ANOTHER CHEVY CAR AGAIN.

THIS IS GM RECALL #14632-TRANSMISSION SHIFTER WHICH LOCKS THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION CYLINDER. I WAS PARKED AND COULDN'T GET THE KEY OUT, WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH THE RECALLS UNDER 14V047 & 14V171. STEWART CHEVROLET REFUSED TO DO MY KEY, WHICH I THOUGHT WAS THE PROBLEM. ON 9/25/2015 I FILED A COMPLIANT WITH GM ASKING WHERE ELSE I COULD GO AND IF IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE COBALT WITH THIS KEY AND WITH THIS NEW PROBLEM. I'VE NEVER RECEIVED AN ANSWER FROM GM NOR HAS STEWART STEPPED UP TO REMEDY THIS EVEN NOW THAT THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM. IS THIS VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE, AS ONLY THE FIRST RECALL PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN FIXED. *CN

MY 2006 COBALT HAS MANUAL DOOR LOCKS AND THE TOP KNOB OF THE LOCK IN THE INTERIOR TO UNLOCK THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE HAS BROKEN OFF FLUSH WITH THE TOP OF THE DOOR SO WHEN THEY ARE LOCKED THERE IS NOTHING TO GRAB MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO UNLOCK. THE TOP PART OF THE KNOB SIMPLY BROKE OFF WHEN TRYING TO UNLOCK THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. IF THE DOOR IS ACCIDENTLY LOCKED WHILE INSIDE I HAVE TO REACH THROUGH THE WINDOW AND USE THE KEY TO UNLOCK IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS IA A HUGE SAFETY HAZZARD.

AFTER PUTTING MY CAR INTO PARK AND TURNING THE CAR OFF I WAS UNABLE TO GET MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH, WHICH WAS REPLACED LAST YEAR. I HAD TO JIGGLE THE GEAR SHIFT (AUTOMATIC) AND STILL HAD TO FORCEFULLY REMOVE THE KEY.

I BOUGHT THIS 2006 CHECY COBALT 2 MONTHS AGO AT CLEAR CHOICE AUTO SALES DEALERSHIP IN CARLISLE AND I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE STEERING WAS ROUGH WHEN I WAS TURNING TO THE RIGHT BUT EASIER TO TURN TO THE LEFT WHEN I TOOK IF FOR A TEST DRIVE. THEY TOOK IT IN THERE SHOP AND SAID IT WAS THE TIRE PRESSURE. THEY THEN ADDED AIR TO THE PASSENGERS SIDE FRONT TIRE THEN AND I NOTICED THAT IT STILL WAS THE SAME WHEN I DRIVE IT HOME. I THEN FOUND OUT THAT I HAVE THE 2 RECALLS FOR THE KEY AND IGNITION SWITCH SO I TOOK IT TO LAWERANCE CHEVROLET AND HAD THEM REPLACE THEM AND I ALSO HAD THEM CHECK ON THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE POWER STEERING MODULE COLUMN THAT WAS THE ISSUE BUT IT WAS GOING TO COST A HOLE LOY OF MONEY TO REPLACE IT. I DIDNT HAVE THE MONEY TO GET IT REPLACE BUT I KNEW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE COBALTS STEERING. I ASK THEM IF IT WAS STILL COVERED UNDER RECALL AND THEY SAID IT WAS ALREADY CANCELED. IDK WHAT TO DO I REALLY DONT WANT TO SPEND MONEY FOR THIS ISSUE WHEN ITS A RECALL ALREADY AND I JUST BOUGHT THE CALL FOR $5,500. I MY STEERING WHEEL ALSO SHAKES WHEN IM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES.

DROVE HOME FROM WORK AND ABOUT 3 HOURS LATER I GOT INTO MY CAR TO LEAVE, CRANKED MY CAR AND I HAD A MESSAGE ON MY DIGITAL READING "POWER STEERING" AND I COULD NOT TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AT ALL!! I LOOKED ON YOUTUBE AND SEE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR COBALT'S, BUT YET THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE AND WAS TOLD TO CONTACT YOU GUYS. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL?? I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR!!

I PURCHASED THE CAR 2 AND HALF YEARS. THE CAR ALWAYS SEEMED TO HAVE SLIGHT STEERDNG ISSUES BUT NOTHING MAJOR NOTE ENOUGH TO BE WORRIED ABOUT. I HAD THE FRONT OF THE END OF THE CAR COMPLETELY REBUILT THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR IN BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT IT NEED A FRONT END ALIGNMENT. I WAS INFORMED THAT HAD BEEN ISSUES WITH THE STEERING OF THE COBALT AND TO CHECK INTO IT. I WAS TOLD BY TO GARAGES THAT IS THE IMMEDIATE DRIVE SHAFT ON THE CAR. ONE GARAGE ALSO SAID THE RACK AND PIN. I THOUGHT THE CAR JUST NEED BRAKES ROTORS ETC. I DIDN'T HAVE MONEY TO HAVE THE CAR COMPLETE REBUILT FRONT END SO I HAD LITTLE THINGS DONE. THE CAR WAS STILL HAVING ISSUES AFTER I HAD EVER THING REDONE BY BOYFRIEND DID ALL THE WORK ON THE FRONT END. SO IT WAS WHEN I TOOK IT IN THE ALIGNMENT. THAT I WAS TOLD ABOUT THE ISSUES. HOWEVER THE CLICKING IN THE STEERING HAS ALWAYS BEEN THEIR BUT I DIDN'T KNOW. I WAS TOLD THE CAR IS UNSAFE FOR ME DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE STEERING PROBLEMS. I HAVE CONTACTED GM THEY ACTED AS IF THEY HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT ANY STEERING ISSUES AND AFTER THE INVESTIGATION I DID I FOUND OUT DIFFERENTLY. I AM TAKING THE CAR INTO GM ON SATURDAY 9/26/2015. IF I HAVE TO PAY ON MY OWN IT WILL COST ME 1000. I DONT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. I AM SINGLE MOM GOING TO NURSING SCHOOL FULLTIME. I NEED HELP GETTING THIS RESOLVED.

STRONG SMELL OF GAS EMITTING FROM REAR OF CAR. NOTICE MORE AND GETS STRONGER AFTER ATTEMPTING TO START THE CAR. FUEL IS LEAKING AND GAS MILEAGE DROPPED FROM AROUND 28-29 TO LESS THAN 10MPG. I HAVE CALLED LOCAL DEALER(2) AND BOTH ARE REFUSING TO REMEDY EVEN THOUGH THIS IS NOT A NEW COMPLAINT OR DEFECT BUT ONE IN CHEVROLET'S DESIGN AND THEY HAVE ADMITTED SUCH YET REFUSE TO FIX.

THE FUEL LINES ARE LEAKING WHERE THE LINES CONNECT TO THE FUEL PUMP. IT IS CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS TO SATURATE THE TOP OF THE TANK AND RUN DOWN THE REAR OF THE TANK.

EVERYTIME WE DRIVE OUR COBALT WE HAVE A HARD TIME STARTING IT. AFTER A FEW DAYS WITH IT BEING HARD TO START WE THEN STARTED SMELLING A STRONG GAS ODOR ON THE OUTSIDE AND INSIDE OF THE CAR. I FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP, BUT FOR SOME REASON IT IS ONLY IN CERTAIN STATES AND OF COURSE MY STATE (MICHIGAN) IS NOT INCLUDED.

POWER STEERING GOES OUT. ITS HAPPENED GOING 27 MPH AND ITS HAPPENED GOING 68 MPH. STARTED ACCRUING AROUND 68,500 MILES BUT WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION I TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AND THE POWER STEERING TURNED BACK ON. MY CAR IS A STANDARD SO IT CAN BE PUT INTO NEUTRAL AND TURNED OFF AND BACK ON QUICKLY BUT IT STILL ISN'T SAFE FOR ANYBODY TO DRIVE LIKE THIS I GOT THIS CAR FROM AN OLDER LADY AND I SEE WHY SHE SOLD IT BECAUSE OF HOW DANGEROUS THIS MATTER IS. TO YOUNG PEOPLE AS WELL

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED LAST MARCH (2014) WITH 56000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON (WITHIN A MONTH OF PURCHASE) AND HAS STAYED ON. IT TURNS OUT TO BE THE AIRBAG SENSOR MODULE. IT WILL COST $850.00 BEFORE TAXES TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I AM A SINGLE MOM WHO IS WORKING HER WAY THROUGH COLLEGE. I SIMPLY CAN NOT AFFORD TO GET THIS LIGHT FIXED. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVY SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE BEGGED THEM FOR FINANCIAL HELP. I EVEN ASKED THEM TO SUPPLY THE PART AND I WOULD PAY FOR LABOR. I FOUND ON THIS WEBSITE A RECALL FOR OVER 2 MILLION COBALT'S TO HAVE THE AIRBAG MODULE REPLACED. CHEVY IS TELLING THAT THIS RECALL IS NOT TO MY CAR BECAUSE THE RECALL IS NOT ATTACHED TO MY VIN NUMBER. I WAS HOPING THAT YOU COULD FURTHER ASSIST ME WITH THE RECALL AND TO SEE IF IT WOULD HAPPEN TO APPLY TO MY CAR. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG COBALTS. PLEASE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

THEN I STUMBLED ON NHTSA - WHERE THERE WERE COMPLAINTS OF FUEL SMELL OUTSIDE THE CAR. I THEN FOUND OUT THERE WERE RECALLS IN CERTAIN STATES - BUT NOT MINE. WHY???

STRONG GAS SMELL. THERE ARE RECALLS ON FUEL PUMP AND PARTS IN OTHER STATES BUT NOT IN. THIS SHOULD BE ON ALL COBALTS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. INDIANA LIVES ARE IMPORTANT TOO!

I NOTICED A VERY BAD FUEL LEAK FROM UNDER MY VEHICLE BACK IN THE BEGINNING OF MAY 2015. I KEPT MY VEHICLE PARKED UNTIL I COULD GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. THE MIDDLE OF MAY I JACKED UP MY VEHICLE TO SEE WHERE THE LEAK WAS, I NOTICED IT WAS COMING FROM TWO OF MY FUEL LINES THAT RUN THE LENGTH OF MY VEHICLE, THE LEAK WAS IN THE SAME SPOT ON BOTH LINES, IN A BENT PART OF THE LINES HELD UP BY A CLIP. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC SHOP ON JULY 23 TO GET A PRICE AND TO GET IT FIXED. I DIDN'T HAVE AS MUCH AS IT COST TO GET FIXED. BUT THE OWNER OF THE SHOP DIDN'T WANT ME TO DRIVE OFF IN MY VEHICLE, HE SAID THE IT WAS WAY TO DANGEROUS AND COULD CATCH FIRE. THE REASON FOR MY COMPLAINT, I CALLED THE GM DEALERSHIP TO GET A PRICE ON THE FUEL LINES. THE GUY I SPOKE WITH TOLD ME THIS WASN'T A NEW PROBLEM, HE SAID SEVERAL PEOPLE HAS BEEN THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I ASKED TO CHECK FOR ANY RECALLS, HE SAID THERE WASN'T YET. LIKE THERE WAS GOING TO BE. HE TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS UNTIL IT WAS FIXED.

I WAS PULLING INTO THE PARKING LOT OF WHERE I WORK AND MY ENGINE SHUT OFF. I HAVE ALREADY HAD MY IGNITION SWITCH RECALL COMPLETED. MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR A FEW DAYS LATER AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HER AS WELL.

I WAS DRIVING 60MPH DOWN MAIN HIGHWAY WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN THE RPMS WENT REALLY HIGH AND THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, TURNED THE CAR OF AND BACK ON STARTED DRIVING AGAIN. THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND WAS HARD TO STEER. STARTED GOING UP A SMALL HILL TO TRY AND GET IT OF MAIN ROAD AND IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HILL. THESE CARS ARE NOTHING BUT A SAFETY HAZARD AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!

BAD SMELL OF GAS COMING FROM MY VEHICLE MY FAMILY MECHANIC TOOK A LOOK AND NOTICED A LEAK COMING FROM THE TOP OF MY FUEL PUMP. SAW RECALLS ON THE FUEL PUMP FOR MODELS IN 2006 AND 2007 MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE ON THAT LIST AND ADDED TO THIS RECALL. THE VEHICLE IS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT LS SEDAN 2.2 4CYL. THANK YOU

ELECTRICAL WARNING LIGHT (T/C) REAPPEAR DOES NOT TURN OFF THROUGH NORMAL DRIVE. TEMPATURE DISPLAY NOT OBTAIN DATA FOR OUTSIDE HEAR INDEX. POWER STEERING WARNING IS SHOWING DURING USUAL OPERATION SMALL RESISTANCE WITH TURNING OF WHEEL NOT NOTICEABLE IF UNAWARE OF CAR CAPABILITIES. POWER TRAIN POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION FAILURE NO POWER GOING UP A VERTICAL HIGHWAY HEIGHT CAUSES STOPPAGE OF MOMENTUM WHILE EXCELERATOR IS BEING APPLIED TO THE MAX. TAKEN CAR TO DEALER FOR PROFESSIONAL OPINION CONSIDERING THE ASKING PRICE BEING HUGE THAT NUMBER OF DEFECTS ARE LARGE ONLY HAVING THE CAR FOR TWO YEARS THESE PROBLEMS ARE EXHAUSTING.

I HAVE HAD TWO OF THESE MODELS IN OUR SHOP AND BOTH BEING 2006 MODELS. THE FUEL LINES ARE RUSTING OUT AT THE SUPPORT CLAMP NEAR THE FRAME ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS LOCATION IS ABOUT 4 INCHES FROM THE EXHAUST. FUEL SPRAYS ON TO EXHAUST AND VAPORIZES. THIS ALLOWS FUMES TO ENTER THE INTERIOR OF VEHICLE. FUMES ARE DANGEROUS AND CAUSING DRIVER TO BECOME WEAK AND DROWSY. THE POTENTIAL FOR ACCIDENT IS HIGHER THEN THAT OF A POLITICIAN ACTUALLY DOING THEIR JOB.... PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS.
