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.
When my vehicle had approximately 22,000 miles on it the transmission started to have problems. It was having difficulty shifting in and out of drive. It took about three weeks for me to be able to get it to the shop. On the way I stopped at a local Wal-Mart and when I went to straighten my parking there was a clunk and the car stopped going in reverse. I immediately called Chevy (I bought it used from Carmax, but it being transmission and only 22,000 miles I called Chevy first). The woman told me that it was one (1!!) day off of warranty and that they wouldn't cover it. I explained to her that the car has 22,000 miles, is about three years old (at the time) and the transmission doesn't just go over night. In the eight hours between then and the time the warranty expired the transmission did not suddenly die. She spoke with her supervisor who said that they would cover the work on the transmission under warranty and Chevy paid for my car to be towed to a local Chevy dealership. They told me that my transmission was, in laymen terms, shot. Chevy had my transmission overnight-ed. The car had no further transmission problems until its untimely death in a car accident last week.
