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 2005 cobalt has been very well maintained and never driven hard. My trustworthy mechanic says he has had to replace/rebuild a lot of these transmissions. He feels strongly GM should issue a recall on them.
my first transmission lost reverse at 75,000 miles. bought another chevrolet cobalt used transmission. when the mileage hit 52,000 i lost reverse. i am now installing a third transmission. my car has 105000 miles total
My 2005 Cobalt wont go into reverse. takes a long time to kick into gear. I was lucky to get this covered under warranty. only costed me 136 for labor. However all i have had is problem out of this car. who ever knew they made cars that u cant check fluid levels in. i think shops designed this car. ha ha
