NHTSA Complaint #10230573 — 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT

FEELS LIKE AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. RATTLING FRONT END NOISE FOR A FEW MONTHS AND WITH MY 60K MI CHECK UP IT'S DISCOVERED THAT I NEED 2 LOWER CONTROL ARMS (THE BUSHINGS ARE GONE) AND NEED TO REPLACE THE FRONT STRUTS AND REAR SHOCKS AS THEY ARE LEAKING. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED A CHEVROLET AND FIND THIS APPALLING. MY COBALT IS ONLY 3 YRS OLD AND NEEDS TO REPLACE MAJOR EQUIPMENT. I HAD AN OLD CHEVY AND NEVER HAD TO SEE A REPLACEMENT LIKE THIS UNTIL I HAD OVER 100K MI ON THE VEHICLE. I CANNOT FIND ANY RECALLS ON THESE PARTS, BUT SEE MANY COMPLAINTS. EVEN THE DEALERSHIP THOUGHT I SHOULD GET RID OF THE CAR??????? GIVEN THE CURRENT TIMES, WHO COULD AFFORD THAT. SO NOW I AM LOOKING AT AN ESTIMATE OF $1821.40 TO FIX THIS. WHEN IS GM GOING TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR
