Consumer Description

STARTED OUT WITH THE MODULATOR GOING OUT ONE WEEK AFTER I HAD MY CAR. NOW EVERY WEEK MY WIPERS QUIT WORKING AND THE FUSES HAVE TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE SEEN SPARKS COME FROM THE FUSE PANEL AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT A FIRE. I AM TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP ON MONDAY. THAT'S AS SOON AS I CAN GET IN. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. THIS WAS MY FIRST NEW CAR AND I HAVE HEARD NOTHING BUT HORROR STORIES SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I HAVEN'T MET A HAPPY COBALT OWNER. AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GET RID OF IT. THE INCIDENT DATE IS NOT ACCURATE BECAUSE IT IS HAPPENING EVERY WEEK. *TR
