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.
Since I have owned my 2005 Cobalt I have had to replace the front under arm control and bushings now three times. When it first started I didn't even have 20,000 miles! I am replacing them a third time now with not even 40,000 miles yet. Upon changing them we noticed that the right one the what we were told is the "carrier" is cracked (which it is cracked almost all the way from the center to the top nut and built) and we can not find the part anywhere!!! This is very dangerous to drive with no solution for me......
This Cobalt was replaced by GM from a bad Cavalier... after both experiences I will not pursue a GM product again.
