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.
When I purchased my Cobalt in November 2006, I noticed the cruise control not working among other problems. I took it to the dealership I bought it from and they had it for a week and called and said it was fixed and ready to go. I drove it out of their lot, and it didn't even work! I took it back to them, and they've had it for 1 month now, and called and said they finally got it fixed. After replacing the control module, the coils (that go around the steering wheel), and the buttons on the steering wheel, they called the factory and found out it was a glitch in the software that wasn't engaging the cruise control. It was so annoying because of having to drive a rental car for a month while they fixed it. Very Annoying...
