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.
First, the power steering light came on. About fifteen seconds later, the gauges on the dash started twitching and the gas pedal went down below my foot. Once off the interstate, every time the car would upshift or downshift, the car would lurch forward and act like it was going to stall out. I drove it later that day and it acted normally.
My girlfriend bought her Cobalt LS (coupe, 5 spd, 45000km) last August
She has been drivng a standard for years and years
One day, it was 30*C and she was going through town, and it became extremely hard to shift (almost impossible) in all gears, but especially 1-2-3.....(and the clutch didnt feel right either)
It only happens in the hot weather, so she took it to the GM dealership where she purchased and they told her there was nothing wrong with it (clearly there was, I was there to see it myself) and they gave her a pamplet on "how to drive a standard"...
It happened one other time in September, and never did it again till last week when the temperature struck 32*C...
