| I can not remember the date or mileage of first occurrence. i bought this car in july 2006 new. the main annoyance with this car is the bushings. i have gotten them fixed 3 times since 06, and yet making the noise again when i break which indicates they need to be replaced again. second annoyance is the radio, i have had my speakers replaced as only the back ones would work. every winter my speakers go out, one day will be the left front, next day will be front right - they choose when they want to work and when they do not want to, and the other day none of the sound would work! third my rpm's will randomly shoot up while i'm driving, going at a constant speed. not very happy with this car... | |||

| Driving to work, we had some light snow and the wind was rather strong. i drive a 2007 chevy cobalt. the check engine light comes on mentioning reduced power. seconds later traction control light comes on. at that point in time i can not accelerate or brake at all. i tired to push the brake as hard as i could with no effect. gave up on that and used the emergency brake to slow the vehicle down and have it towed. luckily i was going rather slowly due to the inclement weather, and there were no cars ahead of me. the chevy dealer blamed it on a fuel tank pressure sensor. *tr | |||
