Faults:

Had the cloth seat on drivers side replaced three times. It is still bunching and wrinkled.

I had the door liners replaced twice.

Seat belt button that holds the seat belt lock front slider fell off. I used CRAZY GLUE to repair it. Fine now.

Front struts went at 61,000 miles and so did front bushings. Cost 700 to repair with State tax.

Fan rattles when placed on selector 2 or higher.

General Comments:

Very average basic transportation.

Faults:

Nothing gone wrong, the only exception was the front suspension bushings. Replaced under warranty.

General Comments:

Car is a four-door base model with manual transmission. 2006 model, got it used in 2008. Now in 2009 Chevrolet is offering the Cobalt XFE, a base model with even better fuel economy than my 2006.

Good service from my local GM of Canada dealership. Went for an oil change, for the suspension bushings, also they added some extra lubrication somewhere on the gear shift linkage, making it smoother.

Faults:

About 5 month ago started hearing a loud thumping noise in the front end, and when we would go over a bump, it sounded like the whole car was bottoming out. Finally was able to get into the garage and have it looked at. The repair guy said it was the lower control arms and that it would cost about $600.00 to replace. We went ahead and did it. When I went to pick up my car, the repair guy showed me the lower control arms and one of the bushings fell completely out when he removed it from the car, and the other one was about ready to fall out. He told me that I was lucky because if it would have happened while driving on the highway, I could have really been in big trouble.

The air conditioner is now starting to make a funny sound.

Had the same key problem as everyone else has had.

General Comments:

This car sucks, and I would not buy another one if it was the last one on Earth.

Faults:

Everything everyone has said about this car is true. It is an absolute piece of crap. I too have had all the problems with the shifter and key, not to mention everything else.

The latest is the lower control arm bushings are gone.

General Comments:

Its hard to feel sorry for Chevy's plight when I have to pay more than my lease payment to fix the stupid thing. This car is garbage..

Faults:

Repaired front right bushing (under warranty) in Oct 08 because of loose rattling noise from front wheels.

Repaired front right bushing (not under warranty - $165) on March 09 because of loose rattling noise from front wheels. Last repair lasted 5 months. Dealer would not consider that a repair should last longer than 5 months

General Comments:

Average car, but seems to have repeated "loose rattle" issues (check out a google search for cobalt loose rattles on the net) that are being ignored by GM.

2nd roller gear went, and the solenoid they said, and that's what they replaced.

Trunk lock replaced.

Link ends.

Ball joint.

Ignition changed.
