2005 CHEVROLET COBALT Latcheslockslinkages Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S DOORS CONSTANTLY LOCKED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT HAD TO CRAWL IN AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE WINDOW. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE POWER STEERING AND CHECK ENGINE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POWERED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER RESTARTED AND DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT CALLED HARRY GREEN CHEVROLET AT 304-624-6304 (1858 E PIKE ST, CLARKSBURG, WV 26301) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT ABOUT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V014000 (STRUCTURE). THE CONTACT HAD NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THE DOOR LOCKS WOULD INDEPENDENTLY UNLOCK AND LOCK IN A LOOP WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE ALARM TO ACTIVATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

THE LATCHING MECHANISM ON THE DOORS STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY, USUALLY WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES BEGIN TO DROP, BUT IT ISN'T ALWAYS THE CASE. THE DOORS EITHER WON'T OPEN OR WON'T CLOSE, AND THE HANDLES DON'T WORK INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE CAR WHEN THE LATCH WON'T RELEASE. SOMETIMES BANGING VERY HARD ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE DOOR AT A CERTAIN LOCATION RELEASES IT AND IT WORKS AGAIN UNTIL THE NEXT TIME YOU NEED TO OPEN IT. I'VE SEEN MANY POSTS ONLINE OF COBALT OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD, AND SHOULD REQUIRE A RECALL. IF BOTH DOORS STOPPED WORKING AT THE SAME TIME I WOULD BE STUCK INSIDE THE CAR, OR STUCK OUTSIDE NOT BEING ABLE TO GET IN AND DRIVE MY CAR. AND WHAT IF THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY? UNFORTUNATELY REPAIR SHOPS HAVE NO CLUE WHAT'S GOING ON OR HOW TO FIX IT, AND...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOCK MECHANISM FAILED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE DOORS WERE UNABLE TO BE UNLOCKED USING THE ELECTRONIC KEY FOB OR MANUALLY. IN ADDITION, THE KEY COULD BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V171000(ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V047000(AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM)HOWEVER, THE FAILURES PERSISTED. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER MOTOR AND TWO BODY CONTROL MODULES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,496.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ELECTRIC LOCKS ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE KEY HAD ALSO SEIZED IN THE IGNITION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND MAKING A U-TURN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WOULD OPEN, WHEN IT WAS LOCKED. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. . UPDATED 07/01/14 MA THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND SHE CRASHED INTO A GARAGE. THE CONSUMER HAS SINCE TRADED THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 07/23/14

RANDOMLY, THE DRIVER'S DOOR LATCH FAILS TO FUNCTION. IF THE DOOR IS OPEN, IT WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED. IF THE DOOR IS CLOSED, NEITHER THE INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE WILL OPEN THE DOOR. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS RATHER A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR AFTER AN ACCIDENT, AN UN-INJURED OCCUPANT COULD DIE FROM FIRE--OR DROWN IF THE CAR WERE SUBMERGED. I EXPLORED THE ISSUE ON MULTIPLE INTERNET FORUMS AND FOUND THIS IS A RATHER COMMON ISSUE. FOR INSTANCE, HERE IS A QUERY ON THE COBALT SS FORUM. JUST ENTERING "DOOR LATCH" COMES UP WITH THESE SEARCH RESULTS. HTTP://WWW.COBALTSS.NET/FORUMS/ESP_SEARCH.PHP?QUERY=DOOR+LATCH&REF=ESP-NAV-BAR&TYPE=ALL ON ONE POLL, FULLY 50% OF ALL COBALT OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. 50%. I FOUND THERE IS AN NHTSA CASE ON THE ISSUE. THE ACTION NUMBER IS: "NHTSA: ACTION NUMBER: 10038344 SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 308836." THIS REFERENCES THE DEALER SERVICE BULLETIN #PI0011A. A DEALER APPLIED THE BULLETIN, THE...

AT MULTIPLE TIMES, THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM EITHER THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE LATCH. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN MAINLY WHEN IT GETS VERY COLD OUTSIDE. WHEN I PULL THE LATCH IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT CATCHES ANYTHING INSIDE THE DOOR. THIS PROBLEM WILL GO ON FOR A COUPLE WEEKS, AND THEN SUDDENLY THE LATCH WILL BEGIN TO WORK AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT ABNORMALLY HARD AND WOULD OFTEN JUMP WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD SPORADICALLY ATTEMPT TO STALL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT VARIOUS WARNING LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWICE AND EACH TIME THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE AUTOMATIC KEY FOB COULD NOT BE USED TO LOCK THE DOORS BECAUSE THE ANTI-THEFT ALARM COULD NOT BE DISARMED. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT HAD TO MANUALLY LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOORS AT ALL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

I WAS IN TOWN WITH MY 5 MONTH OLD BABY AND MY DOOR HANDLE MESSED UP. I HAD PARKED, AND EXITED THE CAR AND WENT AROUND TO PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR TO OPEN THE DOOR AND GET MY SON BUT THE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN. I LOCKED AND UNLOCKED THE CAR DOOR AND IT WAS STILL STUCK. IT WAS AS THOUGH THE DOOR HANDLE WASN'T LATCHED TO ANYTHING. IT WAS JUST THERE, IT WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING. I BEAT AND BANG ON THE DOOR FOR ALMOST AN HOUR UNTIL THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FINALLY OPENED. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR STILL WON'T OPEN, INSIDE OR OUT. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I HAVE READ OF MANY OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM. MY CHILD WHO IS ONLY 5 MONTHS OLD WAS SCREAMING AND I COULDN'T GET TO HIM. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY TRAGIC HAD IT BEEN HOT OUTSIDE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING...

- SUN ROOF (WON'T CLOSE ON ONE CORNER) - SUN ROOF SWITCH LITERALLY FELL OUT OF THE SOCKET WHILE DRIVING - POWER DOOR LOCKS RANDOMLY (AND RAPIDLY) LOCK AND UNLOCK, WHETHER THE CAR IS ON OR NOT. IT'S FUN TO WATCH YOUR CAR LOCK YOUR KEYS INSIDE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. - PASSENGER SEAT HEATER BUTTON SUCKED INTO THE DASH AFTER BEING PRESSED USING A NORMAL AMOUNT OF FORCE. - BOTH SEAT HEATERS FAILED WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF EACH OTHER, FUSES AND CONNECTIONS ARE GOOD. - HEATER RANDOMLY LOSES TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND WON'T SWITCH BETWEEN ANY OF THE SETTINGS, THE HEATER WON'T STOP BLOWING HOT AIR IN YOUR FACE, EVEN WITH THE AC ON, AND THE COLDEST SETTING. - DRIVER SIDE DOOR RANDOMLY WON'T ENGAGE FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE HANDLE WHILE UNLOCKED, AND IF IT IS LOCKED, THE KEY DOES NOTHING. IN A CRASH, IT MAY MAKE...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLES WERE INOPERABLE AND HE WAS UNABLE TO ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE IF A CRASH OR FIRE OCCURRED; THEREFORE, A PASSENGER HAD TO EXIT THROUGH THE WINDOW.

OUR 2005 CHEVY COBALT LS HAS KEY STUCK IN IGNITION. I FOUND COUNTLESS SIMILAR COMPLAINS ONLINE FROM OWNERS. IS THIS RELATED TO STEERING ISSUE. IF NOT PLEASE HAVE THEM FIX THIS LEMON. IT'S NOT SAVE AS WE ARE ONLY ABLE TO TAKE THE KEYS OUT IN THE ACCESSORY POSITION, IN WHICH CASE SHIFTER STICK IS NOT LOCKED AND KIDS ARE ABLE TO SHIFT IT FROM PARK. IT ALSO DRAINS THE BATTERY. *TR

MY 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT'S DOORS WONT OPEN. I GET STUCK IN THE CAR OR OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. I HAVE HAD TO CLIMB TO THE DRIVERS SIDE THREW THE PASSENGER SIDE AND I HAVE HAD TO CLIMB OUT THE WINDOW BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN LOCKED IN THE CAR. I HAVE ALREADY HAD MY CAR RECALLED BECAUSE I HAD NO POWERSTEERING AND NOW THIS. I CANT STAND GM - THEY CAN'T MAKE A SAFE OR RELIABLE CAR TO SAVE THEIR LIFE. I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID THEY CAN DO NOTHING FOR ME - EXCEPT CHARGE ME THE 100 DIAGNOSTIC TEST FEE. WHEN THERE ARE 100'S OF PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING THREW THE SAME THING I AM. THIS IS NOT SAFE WHATSOEVER. WHAT IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT AND CANT GET OUT OF MY CAR. I SUGGEST GM DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THE CAR LOCKS UNLOCK AND LOCK BUT THE...

I HAVE BEEN LOCKED IN MY CAR AND LOCKED OUT OF MY CAR DUE TO THE LOCKING MECHANISM ON THE DRIVERS DOOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. THIS MORNING I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO COME UNLOCK MY CAR AT 5:00 IN THE MORNING. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 COBALT WITH 80,000 ON IT .THE DRIVERS DOOR LOCKS UP ALL THE TIME, I CAN'T GET IN OR OUT. ITS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME. ITS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE IF I EVER GOT IN A ACCIDENT. I HAVE TIMES WHEN I HAD TO CLIMB OVER THE SEATS TO GET OUT. I HAVE READ MANY ISSUES ON THIS PROBLEM AND I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY COBALT, THE KEY CONSTANTLY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION, THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS UNABLE TO TURN MY CAR OFF FOR OVER 5 HOURS. THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR MANY REASONS. NOT ONLY WILL I PROBABLY HAVE TO REPLACE THAT PART BUT EVENTUALLY THE BATTERY DUE TO THIS. I'VE RESEARCHED IT ONLINE AND SEE THAT IT IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AMONG MANY CHEVY'S ESPECIALLY MY MODEL. I THINK SINCE IT'S SUCH A COMMON ISSUE THEIR SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS. I DON'T SEE WHY I SHOULD WASTE OVER $800 TO GET SOMETHING FIXED THAT IS MORE COMMON THAN IT SHOULD BE. *TR

IGNITION KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED WITHOUT USING THE RELEASE BUTTON IN THE HOLE UNDER THE COLUMN. *TR

SINCE THIS CAR WAS NEW, THE CAR LOCKS AND UNLOCKS ITSELF REGULARLY. IF YOU GET OUT OF CAR, THEN RETURN TO CAR EVEN WITHIN SECONDS, WHEN YOU OPEN DOOR THE ALARM GOES OFF. YOU CANT DO ANYTHING WITH CAR, WITHOUT HAVING KEYS IN HAND READY TO SHUT OFF ALARM. EVEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK REGULARLY. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER AND THEY SAY NOTHING WRONG. CAR NOW HAS JUST OVER 100K MILES, AND AM LEANING TOWARDS NEVER BUYING GM AGAIN. *TR

THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. *TR

THE DOOR LATCHES ON BOTH MY PASSANGER AND DRIVER SIDE DOORS HAVE BEEN GETTING STUCK FREQUENTLY OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS. WHEN I PULL THE HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR (FROM EITHER THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE) THERE IS NO REISITANCE ON THE HANDLE. LIKE THE LATCH IS NOT EVEN ATTACHED. I HAVE TRIED USING THE REMOTE KEY LOCKS, USING THE KEY IN THE DOOR LOCK, AND USING THE BUTTONS INSIDE THE CAR. NOTHING WORKS. I HAVE BEEN LOCK BOTH IN AND OUT OF MY CAR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

MY 2005 COBALT HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE DOORS GETTING STUCK SHUT. THEY WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE . I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT IF I NEED TO GET OUT OF MY CAR IN A HURRY THAT THIS WILL NOT BE POSSIBLE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THREE ISSUES WITH MY 2005 CHEVY COBALT. ONE THE DOOR LATCH BROKE AND I CAN NO LONGER GET OUT THE DRIVERS SIDE. IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR I WOULD HAVE TO CRAWL OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. SECONDLY, MY STRUTS KEEP GOING BAD ON MY CAR. I HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED THREE TIMES NOW. MY THIRD ISSUE IS THE BRAKES. I WAS TOLD THAT THE COBALT HAD ANITLOCK BRAKES WHEN I BOUGHT IT. HOWEVER, WHEN I HAVE HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES THEY LOCK AND A LITTLE LIGHT COMES ON WITH A ANTI BRAKE SYMBOL ON IT. *TR

THE POWER STEERING ON MY 2005 CHEVY COBALT WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING, LUCKILY IT DIDN'T RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I COULD HAVE JUST AS EASILY BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE FACT I COULDN'T TURN MY WHEEL AT ALL. I TOOK THE COBALT TO A SHOP, AND IT TURNS OUT IT WAS THE MOTOR. APPARENTLY THIS HAPPENS TO A TON OF CHEVY COBALTS ALL THE TIME. THIS IS SOOO DANGEROUS! ALSO, OCCASIONALLY MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR WON'T OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THIS COULD BE A HUGE SAFETY RISK IF I NEEDED TO GET OUT OF MY VEHICLE IN A HURRY. *TR

I AM NOT ABLE TO GET MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION OF MY 2005 CHEVY COBALT LS. THIS HAS BEEN A PERSISTENT PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2006 (WAS A RENTAL). UP UNTIL TODAY (2/27/10) I'VE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO GET IT OUT EVENTUALLY. NOW HOWEVER, MY CAR WILL NOT START - IT JUST CLICKS, AND MY SHIFTER WON'T MOVE. THE CAR DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THAT IT'S IN PARK. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, IT APPEARS MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE CONCLUSION IS THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE. PLEASE SEE THIS LINK: HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=GFB6Y7_ZKX0 THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM I'VE HAD WITH THIS CAR: POWER STEERING FAILURE AFTER ABOUT 45,000 BAD WHEEL BEARING AFTER ABOUT 50,000 CD PLAYER REPLACED BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T EJECT CDS (THIS IS STILL A PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THE DEALER REPLACED IT WITH THE SAME MANUFACTURER'S MODEL) FAULTY...

POWER STEERING ON MY 2005 COBALT GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY, IT HAD NOT DONE IT FOR TWO MONTHS. BUT RECENTLY, WHILE I WAS TAKING A TURN, IT WENT OUT, AND I WAS UNABLE TO KEEP THE CAR IN MY LANE AND HIT THE CURB ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THANKFULLY NO OTHER VEHICLE WAS PRESENT IN INTERSECTION, OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A FRONT END COLLISION. NOW IT WORKS ONLY FOR A FEW MINUTES WHEN I TURN MY CAR ON , BUT GOES OUT EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER LOCKS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THEMSELVES CONSTANTLY WHILE I'M DRIVING, AND EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. I CAN NOT LEAVE IT UNATTENDED BECAUSE IT UNLOCKS ITSELF. I STARTED TO HAVE THE PROBLEM SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING IT IN 2007, BUT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED, ITS 63,000 MILES, AND CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX IT. THIS SHOULD...

STUCK KEY. *TR

IGNITION KEY STICKS IN THE "ACC" POSITION AT SHUT DOWN ABOUT 80% OF THE TIME. RESTARTING THE CAR OR PUSHING UP UNDER THE KEY CYLINDER SOMETIMES RELEASES IT. I'VE GONE TO TWO DEALERS SO FAR AND ALL I GET IS YUP ITS STUCK...MAYBE ITS THE SHIFTER MAYBE ITS THE IGNITION. THAT'S NOT A GREAT RESPONSE TO HEAR. THIS IS ON 05 CHEVY COBALT LS COUPE. *TR

THE POWER STEERING ON THE 2005 AND LATER COBALTS QUITS EITHER INTERMITTENTLY OR CONTINUOUSLY. IN MY CASE, THE PS ONLY WORKS FOR 2/10 OF A MILE BEFORE QUITTING. AFTER THAT POINT IT IS ONLY MANUAL DRIVE. THERE ARE WEBSITES AND BLOGS THAT ARE DEDICATED JUST TO THIS PROBLEM INCLUDING HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.COM/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-COBALT/T8FMSUQB7V2DTH5JH. THIS SITE HAS 335 INSTANCES OF THIS PROBLEM AS OF TODAY. GM HAS FAILED TO STEP UP AND FIX THIS. IN FACT, THEY INSIST THAT THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN MUST BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, THIS SITE HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/CHEVROLET/COBALT/2005/STEERING/POWER_STEERING_FAILURE.SHTML SHOWS THAT IT IS USUALLY ONLY ONE COMPONENT BUT THAT COMPONENT CANNOT BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY. THE ENTIRE COLUMN REPLACEMENT RUNS FROM $800 TO $2000 WHEREAS THE COMPONENT ALONE HAS TO BE MUCH CHEAPER AND IS ACTUALLY SIMPLE TO REPLACE. I TRIED THE REMEDY LISTED BY WAYNE FROM ZION IL #318 ON THE FIRST WEBSITE LISTED HERE AND WHILE IT DIDN'T WORK FOR ME, THERE...

WHEN IT RAINS, MY CAR DOORS DO NOT OPEN. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO GET THE DOOR LOCKS REPLACED AFTER BEING TRAPPED IN MY CAR AFTER THE BATTERY DIED AND I WAS TRAPPED FOR AN HOUR OR SO WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO JUMPSTARTED MY CAR. DUE TO THE BATTERY BEING DEAD, I WASN'T EVEN ABLE TO CLIMB OUT A WINDOW. *TR

2005 CHEVY COBALT POWER STEERING GOES OUT AT RANDOM, CAR LOCKS YOU INSIDE, YOU HAVE TO GO OUT THE WINDOW, CAR DIES WHILE DRIVING. THESE ARE ALL COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. CHEVY DOES NOT MAKE REDESIGNED PARTS TO REPLACE ITS CURRENT STOCK OF BAD PARTS. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT, IF CHEVY IS NOT FORCED TO TAKE ACTION. *TR

THE PLACEMENT OF THE DOOR LOCKS ON THE 2 DOOR IS POOR .YOU MUST REACH BACK OVER YOUR SHOLDER TO UNLOCK THE DOOR, EITHER POWER DOOR LOCKS SHOULD BE STANDED OR THE LOCK LOCATION SHOULD BE CHANGED TO THE DOOR HANDEL 2005 CHEVY COBALT 2 DOOR
