NHTSA — Engine And Engine Cooling: Exhaust System: Manifold/Header/Muffler/Tail Pipe Problems

CarComplaints.com Seal Of This Might Hurt

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.

My exhaust pipe broke right before it connects to the headers. On the 4 1/2" rippled steel that looks like it is supposed to absorb vibrations. From the look of the steal it is too thin to withstand vibrations. There is no evidence of any pressure or forced pulling against the area of problem."like bottoming out the car". there are no scrapes, dents, or scratches on any part of my exhaust pipe therefore I suggest you look into this immediately. For this happened to my vehicle so easily. There will be more of your vehicles having the same problem.
