Cruise Control Doesn't Work
2006 Chevrolet Cobalt
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Chevrolet dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2006 Cobalt continued to carry the torch first lit by the 2005 model year. To be clear, that torch is burning bright with widespread power steering issues, electrical curiosities and a dangerous ignition switch defect which led to a massive recall by GM. This isn’t a great torch to carry.
The 2006 added it’s own special flare with gas leaks due to cracks in the “return portion of the modular reservoir assembly.” A recall of 2006 Cobalts was issued to fix the problem, but only to vehicles sold in or current registered in Arizona and Nevada, leaving other owners to pay for repairs themselves.
Between this car stalling while driving, giving owners fits with power steering failure and having it be a potential tinderbox because of gas leaks, we felt we had no other option than to award it our “Avoid Like the Plague” badge.

These cars are junk. 20,000 sticker price and nothing but problems. Resale value is poor.Cruise works when it wants to. On one road trip to trade it in cruise didn't work all the way there. Then the check engine light came on and the cruise began to work! Try trading in a car with the engine light on after you've driven 200 miles to get there. I was pissed. So far the clutch position sensor was replaced twice and a connector on the brain box was replaced once.The last time the cruise was acting up i blew it off until I had time to bring it in. Then the engine light came on and i lost it. Drove straight to the dealer I was WILD. Fingers are crossed that its finally fixed cuz warranty is running out
