2008 Chevrolet Cobalt Owner Comments

problem #6

Jan 012019

Cobalt

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

I turn my blinker on to turn and after I'm done turning the blinker is still blinking. It doesn't go off until I turn it off myself. I've had people almost hit me, people flip me off, honk horn, people get mad as hell been yelled at. It is so dangerous - why doesn't Chevy fix this sh*t?!

  • Automatic transmission
  • 27,000 miles

Again,this car has been nothing but a pain in the ass. When the bright lights are on,and you turn the signals on, it causes the headlights to go out as the signal is blinking. That's a real inconvenience,and something that we may at some point be ticketed for. This car is nothing but a pure pain in the ass. I ADVISE NO ONE TO EVER BUY THIS MAKE OR MODEL OF CAR!

Cobalt

  • Automatic transmission
  • 82,000 miles

Blinker clicker doesn't work can see blinking on and off, but no sound and the front driver speaker stopped working and the door dinger not working. This problem seems to come and go.

I had the speaker replaced and is working for now. Guy could not figure out signal problem? Ground/short electrical problem.

Then the tire sensors error light is on. I've replaced one, now machine says another one needs replacing!!!! More money and time, then I have to take to dealership to reset, uggggg. And the automatic starter on FOB not working!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Blinker clicker doesn't work and the front driver speaker stopped working at the same time so it is all one big issue including the door dinger not working. This problem seems to come and go.

problem #2

Mar 072012

Cobalt LS 2.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 85,000 miles

When I turn my right blinker on and take the turn my blinker will not shut off by itself. I usually forget that this problem occurs until the car dings at me. By then I've driven by a minimum of 6 driveways or a few intersections which I know annoy the people driving behind me.

Cobalt LS 2.2L I4
