Control Arm Bushings Failed
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.

this is bull. took car in under dealership warranty and had a extended warranty and dealership says there is nothing wrong with car and dealership says it ain't covered under warranty. and the warranty they milked me for, it don't cover it either but they made it sound like they were giving me it free. yeah at my cost, can't afford to fix problem so have to deal with it i guess.
