Consumer Description

WHILE TRAVELING, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK AS IF THE BRAKES WERE BEING APPLIED. CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS COMMON IN THE COBALTS UNTIL THE CAR KNOWS YOUR DRIVING HABITS. SAME OCCURRENCE IN THE 2007 COBALT. THE DEALER HAD TO ADJUST THE TRANSMISSION. DEALER WILL NOT TAKE ACTION AS TO DATE FOR THIS ISSUE STATING THAT IT HASN'T HAD A CHANCE TO ADJUST TO THE DRIVING HABITS. WE HAD THE CAR FOR MORE THAN A FEW MONTHS AND PUT OVER 3000 MILES ON IT. CAR DOESN'T FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS. DEALER IS MADE AWARE OF THIS. INFORMED BY DEALER, NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
