Chevy Cobalt

I bought my 2008 Chevy Cobalt in 2007 when the new models came out. 13 years later I am still very happy with the vehicle. Yes I do want more room, more power etc. But overall performance of this vehicle has been no major repairs, still using the same factory battery from day one which is unusual for a battery to last thirteen years in a vehicle. My Cobalt is a basic, no frills, hand roll up windows, no cruise control car. I still get excellent gas mileage. The only major repairs I have had done is ball joints, tires, and all the recalls that has been done to it over the years.

The left speakers in front and back never worked. Bought car brand new in 2007. Passenger airbag warning light has been on for 13 years.... No mechanic can find a code to fix. Dry rot or wiring has cost us 15 trips to mechanics and $3000 or go w/o air condition in 105 degree weather. The air goes off while driving and you're in a suit pouring sweat have dinner with your bosses. Because of the bad wiring the harness moves and blows fuses. It is cheaply made. Soft plastic undurable cabin light, plastic door handles, inside motor to side mirrors has burnt out long ago.

Mother wanted me and family to have a safe car to drive in. We bought 2007 Cobalt. Serious problem. Has at least 7 recalls. Waited 1 year for a 57 cent part. Had front end pulled off at my request. Car has 74.000 original miles. A/C Heater Defrost do not work. 1st time ever had a brand new car. It's awful. I am disabled on SSI. Now have no car. Learned a lesson. 1st never buy a new Chevy. I will never buy a Chevy again.

My experience is exactly like Bambi’s from PA. The check engine light comes on then the service traction light comes on. If I shut the car off, light goes off. It’s comes on usually when I’m sitting with car running, in/out of gear and foot of the brake. Very scary. If Service traction wasn’t enough, the check engine light goes on & I have had multiple trips to mechanic to “fix” issues. I have spent a considerable amount of $$ for repairs, pulled out from having it serviced & a few miles down the road check engine light comes back on. Take it back, they say it’s a different problem. More $$.

Able to escape danger quickly! Hi, I am Hover Lioness. I was able to quickly escape the vicious lion Quickmane, My Cubs were screaming and said, "Slow down mommy!" This saved the life of me and my Cubs. Thank you Chevrolet Cobalt!!!

I bought a 2008. I had to have the fuel injectors replaced twice within the first 10,000 miles. I had concerns with it having to be replaced that early and so close together. In the very beginning Within my warranty. The car made a big thump sound and jerk. I thought I had hit someone so I got out of my car to check. It still happens to this day. Mechanics cannot explain it. The engine light has been on for 5 years now. Had it checked several. They cannot determine the reason. It keeps saying number 3. I have replaced the coil packs twice on their recommendation but yet the engine light still on.

I bought my 2006 Cobalt new because it was cheap. It is now December 2018. It now has 202K miles on it. The car pulls to the right when you take hands off the wheel, it always has and probably always will. The struts wore out in 20K miles, so did the tires. Cheap Cheap Cheap. Alignment after alignment after alignment couldn't solve the "pulling to the right" problem. Chevy told me they couldn't and wouldn't fix it. The tires wear normally now after the "creative" (cover up the problem) factory alignment was fixed.

Purchased a 2009 Chevy Cobalt with 14,000 original miles. Good car until the lines to the fuel pump dry rotted this past August. Car only had 37,647 miles on it and the lines dry rotted? My mechanic said I could get reimbursed for the $486.00 it cost us to repair it. Took it to the dealer. Dealer gave us paperwork to fill out and send in, said we would get reimbursed. Submitted all paperwork and spoke to customer service in August, was told we would be reimbursed. Never heard back, so today I call customer service and was told that I would NOT be reimbursed. Really??? I am beyond upset but what am I to do?

After being in a treacherous car accident in a previous Cobalt -- and coming out unscathed -- we insisted our next car, with our 2 young kids, would be another! We have found our Cobalt to be safe and reliable. While it is basic, it is also uncomplicated and easy to drive. We initially chose a Chevrolet because it was American-made and reasonably priced. But they no longer make Cobalts, so we would have them continued! The interior got worn out quickly though, we would have definitely made the fabric higher-quality. We have loved owning a Cobalt and will be sad to see it go.

So far, I have been having good luck with this 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt. It is easy for me to drive. It does not have a high entrance and fits in my garage well. I got over the need for a 6 cylinder car and am perfectly happy with this 4 cylinder vehicle. It has every bit as much acceleration as my previous Buick. But this car is pretty spartan; wish it had a back seat that could be lowered. Also, it has a seal leak in the brake system; it is too difficult to go in and fix it, so I have to add DOT 3 brake fluid every couple of months. My mechanic has been a bit frustrated trying to fix something wrong with the emissions control system; the dashboard light keeps coming on. Had a problem with the front end, but other than that it's been good.
