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.
I noticed the fabric around the interior door handles has a gap/ fabric was cut wrong within a month of buying the car. The dealership did not know about any other problems like it occuring at the time (i bought my car soon after they were "new" out on the market). They told me they would have to look into the problem and find a solution. Within a few months i was notified that first run of the cars had the same problem and they were replacing the handles with larger ones to cover up the mis-cut fabric. The dealership was also working on other warrany problems at the time and i was told they could all be repaired at the same time. Once all the parts were in i tried to make arrangements to have my car fixed and was told upon arriving to have it fixed that they would no longer cover any of the problems under warranty because i have gone past my km allowed for warranty. So: the fabric looked like crap, my cd player still doesnt work... and the ghost in my car playing with my locks creeps me out... what to do! nothing! GM also mailed the dealership a $500 rebbate i applied for and the dealership refuses to give it to me citing (get this):
i didnt fully pay for the car, they miscounted the money and i still owed on the vehical, they changed the original car sales record (they showed it to me) refused to copy it. Then told me all documents have been shreaded (this was within a few months of buying the car) as they are suppose to be soon after the sale of a vehical. GM wouldnt step in: they said they sent the cheque, the dealership has to give it to me. The manager at the dealership? he's the one who insists all the sales records have been shreaded... Hmmmm... i wonder if this may be one of the many reasons that the dealership i bought from (steadlebauer in edmonton) is no longer authorized to sell GM vehicals? But: i still dont have my $500 or my cd player (among other things). Sucks!!!
