Wind Noise While Driving
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.

When i 1st got my car i noticed a wind notice around my wind shield then i was driving to work one day in town and a city truck came by and a rock hit my windshield just like that it cracked it i took it to the local glass shop they looked at it and told me that GM should recall the Windshield in these cars because i was the 15 person who had a crack in the windshield from rocks while just in town driving and he said depending on the rock size it could crack it but the rock was actually still in the window and he said he would even call that a rock would call it a pebble and that it shouldnt have cracked my windshield of even stuck in it so he replaced my windshield cost me 432.** bc GM wouldnt fix it bc that wasnt covered under warrenty and when he replaced my window i still had wind noise around it so i took it back to the person that fixed it and he told me that its how the windshield was cut out and how they have the rubber around it
