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.

every time i hit a bump, on the passengers side there's a rattle and shake. it sounds like something is going to fall off the car. the dealership looked at my car and said that there was nothing wrong with my car. i never heard that in a ok car before. i drive my grandkids in my car, i want know if they are safe. i let my neighbor try my driving my car and he said that there is something definetly something wrong, i'm wondering if theres a recall on the front suspension. i look foward to taking my grandkids for drives in the summertime , but i dont feel that they are safe anymore i am still paying on my dam car, i want a safe car.
. thank you very much , Carol Haley
