| 2007 chevy cobalt- many problems, electrical comes off and on, car rides like a bucket of bolts, at 50,000 kms front passenger wheel had 1 1/2 inch movement while parked. very dangerous. why no recalls for these issues? the fixer of the car replaced a suspension control arm bushing. all kinds of noise, all pot holes i thought the car was going to fall apart. hunk of junk car. many safety issues should be investigated. brought back to the dealer several times for sagging doors on two door model, irregular idol, rattling sounds in the front end to no avail. thank god i only leased it, they can keep it, it is a hunk of junk. i would never recommend this car to anyone. *tr | |||

| I purchased a 2007 chevy cobalt in 2008, with approx. 30,000 miles.when i had around 35,000, miles i started to get loud ,rattling noises, like metal on metal, coming from under the car.they usually happen when i go over ripples or bumps in the road , at slower speeds.i took my car back to the dealer and asked him if they had heard of any problems or received any technical service bulletins about this problem and he said they had not.(july 2009) i told him to inform me if they did.in the meantime, my warranty expired.at that time,i had already started to research the problem online and network with some other persons, locally, to see if they had any such problem.well lo and behold, it seems that there was a technical bulletin issued on 11-9-2005 (# 050232005) that details this problem. and yes,apparently, other persons that i have talked to, and also with the research that i did online, definetely showed that many others are also having this same problem! i feel that as a respondsible auto manufacturer that gm needs to correct this horrible rattle.a recall for this is in order,especially since they were aware of this since 2005.i do not feel that we,,the consumer ,should be respondsible for this repair,as gm is trying to repair their image,do the right and fix this at no cost to the consumer--recall | |||
