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.
This car has had one problem after another. First door locks would engage and disengage on their own. Don't know what that was all about it just stopped doing it on its own. Then ignition would get stuck with my key still caught in the ignition, i would have to leave my keys in the ignition! I got online and found out that there was an override switch to release my key so I was able to get my keys out but the ignition still hangs every time. Now the stupid thing just decides on its own when it wants to start or not. More of the not start! For the love of God this is why the American people have lost all confidence in American made vehicles. They wonder why they are losing money and cant sell anything without practically giving it away with incentives and low interest rates. I would just love it if a new vehicle that you buy would actually last longer than the loan that you have on it. Come on Chevy Buck Up and Fix this crap!!
This has to be the worst problem ive had with this car yet! At total random the car jst flat out wont start, its not a problem with the battery or anything, ive had that checked out, & it strands me where ever im at. Im constantly traveling the country with this car and this is a very big problem. Ive asked multiple mechanics and no one seems to know what causes the problem. Sometimes it happens 1 or 2 times a weak, and sometimes it goes months without doin it, so im always afraid to turn my car off for feer of it not startin again. The only way ive found to get it started again is to jst wait a while and try again. I tried startin it in neutral, & in park. Ive tried turnin the key jst to on and shiftin through all the geers then starin it and nothin seems to work.
