Heater Not Effective On All Settings
2005 Chevrolet Cobalt
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Chevrolet dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: The Cobalt was introduced to replace two of Chevy’s smaller cars, the Cavalier and Prizm. But the compact’s fresh start that Chevy was hoping for was riddled with issues, most notably widespread power steering failure.
The power steering failed so often that GM was forced to issue a recall in March, 2010. Great, but what about other problems like the key getting stuck in the ignition or all the other electrical demons this car possesses?
And, oh yes — then there’s the terribly dangerous issue where the Cobalt randomly shuts off while driving. As it turns out, that problem is related to GM’s massive 2014 recall for a dangerous ignition switch defect. A recall that eventually ballooned to 2.6 million vehicles in one of the automotive industry’s biggest scandals.

It was winter in Chicago when I bought it, so I needed major heat. I would turn the heat up all the way to the last setting to blow on the floor. (The floor because the heat circulates better from the floor in other cars). My passenger would be warm and toasty, but my toes were still hanging on for life. I took it in to get it fixed and was told it was "fixed". I beg to differ, but didn't have time to keep taking it in.
