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.
Sunday thunderstorm...bad lightening. Afterwards, went out to go home from work, car won't start. My son and my mechanic came, could not start car. Towed to shop, horrible time for now fourweeks not fixed. FINALLY..some computer part[s] fixed...needed programing?? new keys?? and now still have not gotten car back. THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE...WHO WHAT WHERE DO I GET SOME HELP WITH THIS?? MY POINT is that my mechanic was unable to figure this out and GM had no help/knowledge of what/why...is this a lemon...or is it something that should NEVER happen?? I only have this car because it is what I can manage $$..and how much is this costing me [besides no transportation for 4 weeks, loss of income etc]. IF I wasn't still paying [family loan] on this, I would dump it...
This car is total s**t !! GM should consider the repercussions if any deaths occur do to the cars stalling. My car stalls several times a day every day. The key gets stuck in the ignition, the gear shift moves whether the car is running or not and the ball joints wear unusually fast. I have been researching this problem on many sites and there are tons of owners with the same problems. Step up to the plate GM and help us out.
Most of my complaints have been an ongoing problem. I had a 2006 Colbalt that one time stalled while driving and the car kept moving. That is not supposed to happen. It's supposed to stop almost immediately with it being an automatic and still in gear.
Left restaurant after taking family to dinner on acceleration supercharger went biserk, loud noise, engine died. Second time. Started after several minutes/attempts.
