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.
I was leaving a gas station parking lot and as I started to accelerate I noticed a squeak coming from somewhere. I was just thinking it was the car in front of me because it was a beat up car anyway. He turned left and I turned right and I noticed the sound was still continuing. I then found out it was coming from my car. My first thought was great, another problem with my car. I had just got a water leak fixed a few weeks previous to this occurrence. The squeaking sound would occur everytime I would accelerate going straight or turning right, but mostly when I would turn right. Since then the problem has only gotten worse, it now does it when I am coasting. I had a friend look at and he mentioned it sounds like it's my bearings which would make since because it primarily does it whenever I turn the wheel to the right. It wasn't that bad at first but now it is just unbearable. I can turn my radio up so that I can't even hear a horn honk but I can still hear that damn "nail on chalkboard" sound. If anyone has any thoughts on what this could possibly be please drop me a comment. Thanks.
