CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2007 Cobalt inherited most of the problems from the 2005 and 2006 model years, but toned them down (a bit). Sure, the power steering still fails and the car has a chance of going up in flames due to a cracked fuel tank, but it’s not as prevalent as the older models. At least not yet.

In 2012, the Cobalt was recalled for gas tank fires but only for owners in certain states.

Then in 2014, the 2007 Cobalt was part of a massive GM recall due to a defective ignition switch that could cause the airbags to not deploy during an accident. The problem led to 13 deaths, government investigations and multiple class-action lawsuits.

Changed headlight bulbs to LED blue, replaced battery lastly changed oil... Now the cars instrument panel is going crazy, I've got no power steering, saying low fuel (just filled tank)

In addition to cars auto locks clicking over and over and it still saying to change oil. Yes it electrical... ECM? Bad ground? Loose connection? What do i have to buy to fix? I'm stumped.
