The fuel tank has an evap leak that somehow breaks on top the tank so it leaks the gas vapors and could potentially start a fire but the part that breaks is a non serviceable part so it can’t be fixed without purchasing a whole new gas tank that isn’t cheap. My other concern is the infamous grounding issue with the wires on the ground g105 I believe right next to oil filter that grounds the transmission and engine control modules well it shorts at times when driving and suddenly your car dies while driving how scary it could cause a wreak and kill somebody it’s a very scary issue that constantly comes back even after trying to re ground it needs to be recalled and fixed it’s going to kill somebody and it’s a well known issue for this make and model that should have already gotten attention to...

While driving the car, it will suddenly stall w the engine running but won’t react the use of the brakes, steering or gear shifter. It’ll suddenly jerk and the following lights will appear on dash :ABS, Power steering, no brake fluid warning, low fuel warning and check engine. All of the areas have been check and have all their fluids so this doesn’t make sense. We bought this car for our 16 year old daughter and the first time she drive it, a truck almost wrecked into her

Before I get into all of it there has never been an accident not yet at least. I do everything I can to try an stop that from happening, (but accidents do happen) only because I know my car could kill on me so I’m extra careful. 1) After I get gas I’m my car the car won’t start right away. I have to restart it a couple times an step in the gas an rev up wasting the gas I just put in to get it to start. 2) When I stop an start to pull out of somewhere on to a main road the car will just die on me so I’m stuck pulling out in traffic trying to get my car to start again. It’s when I come to a stop an pull out it just kills on me. So I have to make sure no one...

The problem that sent it to a different mechanic than the chevy dealer where it came from after a month and 900.00 bill for 550.00 ecm and diagnostic test they did without my permission, there labor for the test and ecm was a total of 900.00. Plus claimed it was throwing a code for a peddle that it needed. We just put a brand new peddle and brand new throttle body on it, it was idled to high, so reason for them getting it was to get the old ecm and new throttle sinked up to reduce the idle , at the time of it leaving me it started and ran just idle to high. Throwing no codes. They got it, claim it wouldn't start so did a diagnostic claimed it needed a new peddle. I said I'm coming to get it, they didn't tell me at any time I...

My power steering alert came up and immediately I start having trouble driving as the steering wheel got tight. Almost had a accident and there is other problems with my 2006 chevy cobalt lt that have been on recall and I cannot get any help at local dealership

My headlight an blinker quit working new bulbs an all new wiring it it still will not work My trunk button also just stopped working an the fuse is not blown. I even replaced it just to make sure still nothing. Door panel clips won’t stay in bought new ones same thing so now my handle is coming apart an my door doesn’t want to shut bc it thinks I’m still holding the handle.. Fuel everytime I get gas I have to crank my car a few times and press on the gas before I can get it to go otherwise it just dies on me I’ve had it looked at they said it was something about how my car does not know when to stop releasing air I think. My blinkers don’t turn off unless I do it manually. The seals on my door is no good anytime it...

While driving power steering message showed on dash, lost transmission control, and speedometer stopped working.

YESTERDAY WAS ON WAY HOME FROM WORK AND CAR JUST DIED ON CITY STREET WITH NO WARNING. I SOMEHOW MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO A PARKING LOT AND OUT OF TRAFFIC. I TRIED TO START THE CAR AND NO THE CAR WONT START BACK UP SO I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED HOME. LAST WEEK I LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING ON A RURAL ROAD AND THEN CAR STARTED ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE. I STOPPED AND WHEN I STOPPED THE CAR JERKED INTO A FORWARD POSITION. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING REALLY HARD GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR WHEN GETTING READY TO SLOW DOWN IT SEEMED LIKE THE CAR WAS A MANUAL AND I HAD IT IN 5TH GEAR BECAUSE IT WAS SEEMING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OUT BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WAS IDLING...

THE CAR ISN'T DRIVABLE. ELECTRIC POWER STEERING OUT, ELECTRIC PLUGS AND WIRES, WON'T START AT ALL. NO CLICKS, NOTHING.

POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT HARD TO STOP OR STEER

WHILE DRIVING TODAY DOOR LOCKS UNLOCK AND LOCK AGAIN RANDOMLY. IT WAS SCARY. I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN. ALSO TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH AND LUNGING. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY OWN CAR.

"TAKATA RECALL" THE CAR CUTS OFF AS I'M DRIVING, OR SLOWING DOWN, THE IGNITION SWITCH DOESN'T WORK TOO WELL, IT ALSO STALLS, GOES LONG PERIODS OF TIME WHERE IT WON'T START OR EVEN TURN OVER. MY POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT COMES NEARLY EVERYTIME I DRIVE BUT ALL MY FLUIDS IN THE CAR ARE FULL, SO IT MAKES DRIVING KINDA SCARY. IT JUST FEELS UNSAFE AND I WASN'T AWARE OF THESE PROBLEMS AND SITUATIONS WHEN I HAD GOTTEN THE 2006 COBALT. PLEASE HELP.

AIR BAG LIGHTS COME ON CAR IS HARD TO STEER AIR CONDITIONING DOES NOT WORK ANY MORE AND I GET AN ENGINE REDUCE POWER LIGHT COMES ON

"TAKATA RECALL" ON 3/30/18 I WAS INVOLVED IN A WRECK. I WAS TRAVELING ON A BUSY CITY STREET WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED RED. I STOPPED AND THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME WAS DRIVING A LARGE SUV. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND TRAFFIC BEGAN TO MOVE I STARTED DRIVING. OUT OF NOWHERE WITH NO WARNING, THE DRIVER JUST STOPPED AND MY CAR RAN INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. WE BOTH STAYED IN OUR VEHICLES I CALLED 911. OFFICERS ARRIVED AND EMERGENCY SERVICES. EVEN THOUGH HARDLY ANY DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE SUV, MY CAR SUSTAINED A LOT OF DAMAGE TO THE HOOD AND BUMPER OF MY CAR. THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS TOTALED BY LOOKING AT IT. I WAS ABLE TO HAVE MOST OF MY CAR REPAIRED OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE I HAD LIABILITY ONLY AT THE TIME. THE PASSENGER IN FRONT OF ME...

FOR THE PAST THREE DAYS DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK MY CHEVY COBALT HAS BEEN PUTTING ME IN DANGER. WHEN I START TO BREAK, SOMETIMES THE SYMBOL WITH A LOCK AND KEY, AND AIR BAG LIGHTS WILL TURN ON AND THE CAR STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK AND THE BRAKES WOULD COME UP RESULTING IN THE CAR BEING TURNED OFF WHILE I AM ON DRIVE. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I CANNOT TURN THE WHEEL AND THE BRAKE IS ALSO LOCKED. I GET OUT OF MY CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC TO PUSH IT BY MYSELF THEN JUMP IN IT AND TRY TO START IT. THIS METHOD WORKS SOMETIMES BUT IS DANGEROUS TO NOT ONLY MYSELF BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY OTHERS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS THE MAIN CAUSE FOR THIS ISSUE HOWEVER I DID SOME RESEARCH AND DID NOT SEE ANY RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. I NEED HELP FINGERING IT...

MY DOOR LOCK KEEP LOCKIMG AND UNLOCKING RANDOMLY ON ITS OWN.. DOSE IT WORSE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO POWER STEERING, ELECTRICAL AND IGNITION SWITCH ISSUES. *LD *JS

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON. I LOST STEERING CONTROL AND MY CAR STARTED SHIFTING ROUGH AND EVENTUALLY MY POWER DEMINISHED. NOW COMES ON PERIODICALLY FOR A COUPLE DAYS THEN WILL GO OFF AND DRIVE FINE. ALSO MY AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON FOR PASSENGER AND SHOWS IT TO BE OFF. HAS DONE THIS SINCE I BOUGHT IT.

PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. IGNITION SHUTS CAR OFF WHEN HITTING BUMPS AS WELL AS NOT TURNING OFF COMPLETELY WHEN PARKED. FRONT RIGHT WHEEL BEARINGS CONTINUE TO FAIL, REPLACED 3 TIMES IN 3 YEARS.

FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE WITH TCM/ECM/PCM. THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED SEVERAL OCCURANCES WHERE DRIVING THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAZARDOUS. BECAUSE OF EITHER THE WIRING OR THE TCM ITSELF, I, THE CONSUMER, HAVE NEARLY BEEN IN 2 ACCIDENTS. AT FIRST I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE POWER STEERING ASSIST MODULE. REPLACED THAT AND PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED. WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS, THE GAUGES JUMP UP AND DOWN AND COMPLETELY STOP WORKING (SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER), TRANSMISSION SHIFTS EXTREMELY HARD WHEN ACCELERATING, POWER STEERING ILLUMINATES IN THE DATA INFORMATION BOX WHICH IN TURN CAUSES LOSS OF POWER STEERING (REPLACED POWER STEERING ASSIST MOTOR, ISSUE STILL HAPPENS, 1 OCCURANCE OF LOOSING POWER STEERING AND BEING ABLE TO STOP BEFORE GOING OFF THE SIDE A MOUNTAIN WHEN TRYING TO MANEUVER A RIGHT HAND TURN), CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES, WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE, REVERSE TO NEUTRAL, NEUTRAL TO DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES VERY HARD AND...

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY COBALT 2.2. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON AND THE POWER STEERING IS ON THE DASH. WHEN DRIVING IT HAS A HARD SHIFT TO IT AND POWER STEERING AT ALL. IT ALL START WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COME ON. I CANT NOT GET IT OFF.

TAKATA RECALL: I RECENTLY PURCHASED A VEHICLE FROM SOMEONE (PRIVATE OWNER) AND AS THE TAGS WILL SOON EXPIRE SO I DECIDE TO GET WHAT NEEDS MAINTENANCE DONE TO TURN THAT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OFF. I GOT A FREE ESTIMATE FROM O' REILLY'S AND TOLD ME TO GO TO CHEVY AND GET THE MAINTENANCE DONE TO MY SAFETY RECALLS. NEXT MORNING I DRIVE OVER TO CHEVY'S DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS DENIED ANY RECALL BEING DONE BY AN EMPLOYEE NAMED SEAN POPPLEWELL. I TOLD HIM TO PRINT ME OUT A PAPER OF WHAT HAD BEEN DONE, NEEDING TO BE DONE AND ALSO TOOK IT UP WITH THE MANAGER. THE SERVICE MANAGER CONFIRMS I CANNOT BE DENIED FOR A MAINTENANCE BUT SEES THAT THE ONLY MAINTENANCE OPEN ONLINE IS A SERVICE UPDATE AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO SALVAGED OR NOT. AS I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I AM BEING DENIED...

POWER STEERING CONTRIBUTED TO A SINGLE VEHICLE WRECK THAT CALL CAUSE DRIVER TO SLIDE INTO A DITCH. ALSO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS CAUSE THE WIPERS NOT TO WORK IN MISTY RAINY CONDITIONS. HOOD LATCH WILL NOT COME UP WITH OUT USING EXTRA FORCE.

MY IGNITION ION SWITCH IS VERY LOOSE SOME TIMES CAN'T START CAR. MY LOCKS UNLOCK AND LOCK BY THEM SELF..THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE SITTING STILL.

SIGNAL SHOWING AIRBAG NEEDS SERVICING GOES ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. HEADLIGHTS, LOW BEAM (BOTH OF THEM) JUST STOPPED WORKING. NEW BULBS AND NEW FUSES ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. NOW, I CAN'T EVEN KEEP MY HIGH BEAMS IN "ON" POSITION. ONLY IF I HOLD THE SWITCH. I'VE HAD THIS CAR FOR UNDER 3 MONTHS. DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK SOMETIMES WORKS, SOMETIMES DOESN'T. I HAVE TO UNLOCK THE DOOR MANUALLY (SOMETIMES). I FIND THAT ODD. MY LARGEST PROBLEM IS OBVIOUSLY HEADLIGHTS. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN AND CAN'T DRIVE AT NIGHT, EVEN IN AN EMERGENCY.

I WILL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR JUST START MY CAR AND THE GAUGES JUST GO NUTS. MY SECURITY LIGHT WILL COME ON MY FUEL GAUGE, RPM GAUGE. AND MPH GAUGE WILL JUST GO TO ZERO. THE RPM GAUGE BOUNCES UP TO 900-1000 THEN BACK TO ZERO.

PRIOR TO THE IGNITION SWITCH BEING CHANGE, EACH TIME THE CAR WOULD TURN OFF THE AIRBAG SENSOR WOULD FLASH REPEATEDLY. AFTER THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS CHANGED I NOTIFIED THE DEALER THAT THE AIRBAG SENSOR REMAINED LIT, AND THEY JUST TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A FAULTY SENSOR AND THAT IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT WAS FIXED ON THE IGNITION. THE DEALER ALSO TOLD ME THAT IF I CHOSE TO HAVE IT FIXED, IT WOULD BE AN OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. I NEVER TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THAT REPAIR.
