| I have had a problem with my 06 cobalt back in early 07 it was under warranty at the 7 times i took it to the dealer for steering concerns. the dealership could not duplicate the hard steering problem or produce computer problem.i was very adament about this and also got new tires thinking that was the problem. it was not ! i was not aware of any serious problem with the power steering,and was a leary to drive my car (a gift from my mom) but had nothing else to drive. in march of this year on the 30th i was comming from a friends home and was on a side road i slowed to make a right turn and i could not get the car to go right,it was very hard to to turn,and i went through the light and hit a tree head on and the air bag did not diploy. i was told later i missed the sensor. the car was totaled and g.m. wont do anything about this.i was told that even though the car sat for 2 months with a dead battery the computer does not loose data. (g.m.) i know of several cobalt oweners who have had the power assist replaced on more than one occasion and it still went out.the mechanics (a.s.e.)certified informed me it is not the power assist it is in the steering column,and should be replaced,but g.m. wont do that it would cost to much money.it is nice to know that g.m. would rather sacrifice the consumer rather than take care of them.i also understand the computer has a history of not recording properly when there is a problem.the rest of us who have had a crash with and without air bags need some kind of solution.g.m. is sweeping this under the rug!!!! thank you for your time. | |||

| I own a 2006 chevrolet cobalt. well to begin, i initially had an issue with my shift column, which i researched and found out it was a common issue with this vehicle. it would cause my key to get stuck in the ignition. i took it to the delearship and they replace the whole column. then a a couple of week later, my vehicle was accelerating really fun, i just blew it off for a moment, until i then tried to put my car in reverse one day, and it would not go anywhere. i took it to the delearship and they told me my transmission is slipping, at 86,000 miles. the dealearship has my car, and is trying to figure out if it's even worth fixing. im also wondering if this problem could have been caught the intial time they fixed the vehicle, and figured it was my shifting column, because even with my transmission slipping, it also affected the shifting column. one other problem i have had with the vehicle is the air bag sensor, i have not got this fixed yet, because the dealearship wants to charge $99 just to see exactly what's causing my airbag sensor to not come on, when i have passengers with me. | |||

| 2006 cobalt 2 door, i was heading to work a couple of months ago when the airbag light turned on after i parked the car and restarted it the light did not come on. after i got off of work i tuned the car on and the light did not turned on after about 15 seconds into driving the car the light came back again. it continued for the next 3 days i was going to take it to the dealer but the 4th day the light stayed off. then 3 weeks later the same thing happened and it as well kept lighting up for the next 3 days and when i was heading to the dealer the 4th day the light did not come on. it has not happened since then. did the research on it and lots of owners have the problem. so far no accidents on the car but i would like the airbags to deploy if i were to be in an accident. *tr | |||

| I was driving home on february 05, 2010 when my steering wheel locked up and i did not have control of the vehicle. i was coming to a stop fortunately when this happened. this is the first time i have experienced this situation. a friend told me chevy cobalt have been recalled and i began my search online and have found numerous complaints regarding this issue. several months ago, my fuel pump module had a small crack in it disbursing gasoline. the mechanic who worked on it said he had never seen anything such as this before. im lucky i was not driving at a high speed or around a corner when my steering wheel locked up or my car didn't explode into flames from the gasoline disbursing throughout my car when i had to replace my fuel pump. power steering and fuel pumps should not require regular maintenance. chevy barely acknowledges the problem and say its not big deal, try your best to control your car when your power steering goes out. i've heard this becomes a regular occurrence after the first time. *tr | |||

| I was driving to work on rt 8 in butler, pa. a deer ran into my car, hitting the front end. i was going about 50 mph. i slammed on the brakes and got out to look at my car. the front bumper was completely smashed, along with the bumper being folded, ac condenser broke, grille broke,radiator broke. i got back in my car and noticed the air bag symbol was on but by air bags didn't deploy. i wasn't wearing a seat belt and i was the only one in the car. my seat belts locked up for some reason and the air bags didn't go off. i called the chevy company and asked them why, and they told me that you need to hit the car in a certain spot on the car, but a mechanic told me usually if the rebar is cracked the air bags go off. they said there is nothing they can do about it. i paid the car off and i didn't have full coverage. so my car is practically garbage. i think they should at least fix the air bag problem and the seat belts. *jb | |||

| I was at a red light, the light turned green i started to go and the person in front of me in a pt cruiser stopped short and i hit him in the rear causing so much damage to my front end. how on earth can they give this car even 1 star for front end collisions, if i was going any faster i would have been killed! the entire bumper, hood, the structure that holds the bumper is ruined and my compressor to the air conditioning as well, this was all at the speed of approx 2 to 4 miles per hour! the airbags never deployed either, showing that this was not a heavy impact, however this car just crumpled and i am worried for my saftey driving in my car. i go to college and then to work and i am scared that if someone were to hit me i don't even have a chance in this car that claims to have good impact results. there was no damage to the other car and i was the one that was injured, my back and both knees. i would like more information on this car and the results from minor fender benders as they call it to see if maybe there is something wrong with the structure of just my car, or all the 2006 cobalt 4 door sedans. | |||

| I was at a red light, the light turned green i started to go and the person in front of me in a pt cruiser stopped short and i hit him in the rear causing so much damage to my front end. how on earth can they give this car even 1 star for front end collisions, if i was going any faster i would have been killed! the entire bumper, hood, the structure that holds the bumper is ruined and my compressor to the air conditioning as well, this was all at the speed of approx 2 to 4 miles per hour! the airbags never deployed either, showing that this was not a heavy impact, however this car just crumpled and i am worried for my saftey driving in my car. i go to college and then to work and i am scared that if someone were to hit me i don't even have a chance in this car that claims to have good impact results. there was no damage to the other car and i was the one that was injured, my back and both knees. i would like more information on this car and the results from minor fender benders as they call it to see if maybe there is something wrong with the structure of just my car, or all the 2006 cobalt 4 door sedans. | |||
