2005 CHEVROLET COBALT Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

I WOULD LIKE TO START A PETITION FOR AN INVESTIGATION ON THE REPLACEMENT PARTS BEING USED FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL AND THE SOFTWARE THEY USE TO RE-PROGRAM OR RE-LEARN THE COMPUTER IN THE VEHICLES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THE REASON I AM REQUESTING THIS IS BECAUSE MY MOMS 2005 CHEVY COBALT WAS TAKEN IN FOR THIS RECALL REPLACEMENT AND WAS RUNNING FINE WHEN WE BROUGHT IT IN. GOT A CALL THAT THE CAR WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP 7 HOURS LATER. A COUPLE DAYS LATER I'M DRIVING THE CAR AROUND IT STARTED TO RUN TERRIBLE. THE CAR IDLED ERRATICALLY AND IT WOULD STALL EVERY TIME I STOPPED. NOW THE CAR STARTS AND DRIVES AWHILE BUT IF I SHUT IT OFF AND THEN START IT AGAIN THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTS BLINKING,IT BOGS DOWN AND HAVE NO POWER WHEN I ACCELERATE. I CAN SMELL GAS BUT THERE ARE NO LEAKS...

WAS DRIVING ON 1-40 AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND SUDDENLY ENGINE SHUT DOWN - DASHBOARD LIT UP. MANAGED TO REACH SHOULDER SAFELY. COULD DISCERN NO PROBLEM BY CHECKING UNDER THE HOOD. VEHICLE RESTARTED WITH NO PROBLEM. APPROXIMATELY 60 MILES FURTHER THE SAME THING HAPPENED BUT I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE WHILE MOVING AND CONTINUE WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. TECHNICIAN AT CHEVROLET DEALER IN SANTA FE, NM TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS TOO WEIGHTY A KEY CHAIN - HE ALSO GAVE ME A PRINTOUT INDICATING THE PROBLEM, WHICH I STILL HAVE. I LIGHTENED THE KEY CHAIN AND NEVER HAD THE PROBLEM AGAIN.. VERY SCARY TO HAVE YOUR CAR KONK OUT AT 70 MGH WITH 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC ON YOUR TAIL. *TR

VEHICLE WAS PARKED INSIDE GARAGE, FILLING TIRES WITH AIR. A CIGARETTE LIGHTER POWERED AIR COMPRESSOR WAS BEING USED TO FILL TIRES. WAS ONLY IN USE FOR A FEW MINUTES, WHEN AIR COMPRESSOR STOPPED. THE FUSE FOR THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER WAS BLOWN. THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE FUSE FOR THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER WOULD BE BLOWN FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAVE ONLY USED IT IN THE PAST TO USE MY OBD II SCANNER, BEING THAT THE OBD DIAGNOSTIC PORT IS POWERED BY THE SAME FUSE AS THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER. BESIDES USING THE OBD SCANNER, NO OTHER THINGS HAVE BEEN USED VIA THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER. REGARDLESS THE FUSE WOULD BE BLOWN. AFTER THE FUSE WAS BLOWN WITH THE AIR COMPRESSOR, I UNPLUGGED IT FROM THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER, ONLY TO SEE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE FUSE MELTED IN THE FUSE BLOCK. FROM THERE,...

MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO. EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN. I COULDN'T EVEN BRAKE. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE GEAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT JUST FINE. HOWEVER THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE LAST TIME BEING ON THE GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE. THE VERY FIRST TIME WAS 2 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THIS CAR. I ASSUMED IT WAS BECAUSE I WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP THAT WAS LARGER THAN NORMAL. THE SECOND TIME I WENT OVER A POTHOLE. THE THIRD TIME WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. SO I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT AND HE STATED THAT I COULD BE THE ALTERNATOR. THIS WAS ABOUT 2-3YRS AFTER PURCHASE. HOWEVER MY TIME WAS VERY LIMITED. I LIVE IN MD BUT I WORK IN NEW YORK SO I SPEND A LOT OF TIME THERE AND LEAVE MY CAR AT...

ENGINE STOPS WHILE DRIVING - CANNOT STEER NOR BRAKE SO CONTROLLING THE CAR TO A SAFE STOP IS VERY DANGEROUS OCCURRED 3 TIMES OVER THE LAST 3 MONTHS WITHOUT ANY WARNING. LUCKILY THE CAR RESTARTS AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES. *LN

CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, PULLING OUT, SITTING STILL. HAS BEEN DOING IT ALOT I HAVE 95,000 MILES I TOOK IT TO BE PUT ON THE SCOOP AT THE DEALERSHIP AND IT DIDN'T READ ANYTHING. HAD IT TO NUMEROUS SHOPS AND NO ONE KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE CHILDREN. CHEVY SHOULD BE MADE TO RECALL THEM. ALL I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET IS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS IM HAVING AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. I ALSO HAVE ANOTHER COMPLAINT I TOOK IN FOR A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING BUT THEY ONLY FIXED THE MOTOR ON THE POWER STEERING AND SAID I HAD TO FIX THE MODULE WHICH WAS 700.00 IF I TOOK IT THERE TO HAVE THE RECALL DONE ON THE POWER STEERING ALL OF IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER FOR MAINTENANCE. WHILE REPAIRING THE VEHICLE, A MECHANIC LEFT A RAG ON TOP OF THE ENGINE UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. AFTER THE CONTACT RETRIEVED THE VEHICLE, IT CAUGHT FIRE DUE TO THE RAG BEING LEFT ON THE ENGINE. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE, BUT THE CONTACT DOES NOT FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT CONTINUES TO BREAK DOWN. IN ADDITION, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CONTINUES TO ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY COULD ONLY REPAIR THE VEHICLE TO ITS ORIGINAL STATE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,059 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,083.

ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AT 3,000 MILES NOW THE CAR HAS 45K AND ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY CAN;T FIND THE PROBLEM. THE LIGHT BANK ONE LEAN CODE. THE DEALERS STILL CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. CAR RUNS ROUGH AND IT MAY RESULT IN ENGINE DAMAGE OR OTHER PROBLEMS OR SAFETY PROBLEMS IF SITUATION PERSISTS. TO MUCH AIR NOT ENOUGH FUEL. *JB

THE CAR HAS STOPPED WITH NO WARNING NO LIGHTS CAME ON AND NOTHING HAPPENED TO CAUSE THIS. I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY GOING 55 MPH AND IT CAME TO A SUDDEN AND COMPLETE STOP AS I SAID NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INVESTIGATED AND SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS IS BULL! IT HAS HAPPENED ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS AND IT IS DANGEROUS. *JB

#1 I BROUGHT IT BACK BECAUSE STEERING WHEEL ALWAYS WAS TO THE LEFT EVEN THOUGH I WAS GOING STRAIGHT. DEALER SAID IT WAS FINE, I COMPLAINED TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEN DEALER SAID THEY FIXED IT. WHEN GOING STRAIGHT THE STEERING STILL LOOKS LEFT. #2 AIR CONDITIONING NOT WORKING, #3 LIQUID COMING OUT OF VENTS #4 CRICKET NOISES OUT OF PASSENGER SIDE DASH AREA. I WAS TOLD AIR CONDITIONING WAS FINE, NO CRICKET NOISES AND IT WAS NORMAL FOR FLUID TO COME OUT OF VENTS. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK AGAIN SAID A/C IS NOT FINE I ASKED THEM IF IT COULD BE SOME SORT OF FILTER (I AM NO MECHANIC) BUT IT WAS. THEY HAD CAR ALL DAY, WENT TO PICK IT UP BUT THEY SAID DASH WAS APART BECAUSE THEY WERE FIXING THE PROBLEM WITH THE FLUID COMING OUT OF THE DASH (AND I SAID I WAS TOLD...

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE REVVED AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTERWARDS, THE ENGINE WAS EASILY RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER SEVERAL TIMES BUT WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED.

FIRST IT WAS THE ENGINE STALL DUE TO FAULTY FUSE BOX WHICH THEY FIXED. THEN THERE WAS THE SUN ROOF CAP WHICH FELL OF TWICE AND THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIX FOUR (4) TIMES. BOTH WHICH ARE UNDER THE COBALTS TSBS I THINK. NOW IT'S THE SES LIGHT WITH A P0171 DTC CODE OR THE AIR FUEL MIXTURE IS OFF. I TOOK IT IN THREE (3) TIMES AND ON THE FINAL ONE THEY SAID THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION AND THEY CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT IS CURRENTLY UNDER INVESTIGATION BY GM NOT ONLY IN THE 2005-2006 CHEVY COBALT, THE 2005-2006 PONTIAC PURSUIT, AND THE 2005-2006 SATURN ION. ALL WHICH HAVE THE 2.2L ECOTEC L61 ENGINE. IT TROUBLES ME THAT THEY SAY THEY CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND TO JUST KEEP BRINGING IT IN WHEN LIGHT COMES ON. THAT IS TRULY A PATHETIC ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM. THEY ARE COSTING...
