MY 2006 CHEVY COBALT HAS HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THE DOORS NOT LATCHING AND/OR NOT BEING ABLE TO BE OPENED. THE DRIVER DOOR, SEEMS TO DO OK, AS LONG AS I KEEP IT LUBED. CURRENTLY, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT LATCH. WHEN I LOOK AT THE LATCH, IT SEEMS TO BE MOVING FREELY, YET WILL NOT LATCH. IT HAS BEEN TIED CLOSED WITH A ROPE, SINCE OCTOBER 2013, AS IT WILL COST HUNDREDS, JUST TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. IT HAS MANUAL LOCKS, SO IS NOT AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I NEED TO FIND A WAY TO FIX IT MYSELF, BUT CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *TR

MY DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT ALWAYS WORK.... THE DOORS WILL JUST BE LOCKED WHETHER YOUR INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. THE LOCKS SHOW THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED BUT WHEN YOU PULL THE HANDLE IT FEELS AS IF IT ISN'T ATTACHED TO ANYTHING. AFTER PUNCHING THE DOOR AROUND THE HANDLE AREA THE DOOR SOMETIMES WILL THEN OPEN. UPON SEARCHING THIS ISSUE ON LINE IT SEEMS THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. I WAS LOCKED IN MY CAR FOR HOURS YESTERDAY UNTIL I FINALLY CLIMBED OUT THE WINDOW. AFTER THAT THE DOORS FINALLY OPENED AND WHEN I WENT TO THE STORE SHORTLY AFTER I WAS LOCKED OUT AND STRANDED OUTSIDE MY CAR FOR ANOTHER SEVERAL HOURS. I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.... ALSO ONCE WHEN TRYING TO OPEN MY DOOR I TORE THE HANDLE RIGHT OFF THE CAR BECAUSE IT HAD LOCKED ME OUT. THIS...

THE POWER LOCKS SUDDENLY DO NOT WORK AS USUAL. USUALLY, ALL THE DOORS ARE LOCKED WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR WHILE THEY ARE UNLOCKED WHEN I PARK THE CAR. NOW, THERE IS NO RESPONSE OF EACH DOOR WHEN I SHIFT THE CAR TO PARK OR DRIVE. I HEAR SOME TICK SOUND WHEN I PUSH THE BRAKE, WHICH IS NOT THERE WHEN THE LOCKS WORK WELL. SOMETIMES IT IS VERY HARD TO MOVE THE POWER STEERING WHEN I PARK THE CAR. *TR

UNABLE TO OPEN DRIVER SIDE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. I CAN UNLOCK THE DOOR WITH NO ISSUES, BUT THE DOOR ITSELF WILL NOT OPEN. HAVE TO CLIMB IN AND OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM. *TR

I ARRIVED AT WORK YESTERDAY ONLY TO FIND I COULDN'T EXIT MY CAR THROUGH THE DRIVER'S DOOR. I MANUALLY TRIED UNLOCKING IT, BUT IT STILL DID NOT OPEN. I PROCEEDED TO CLIMB OUT OF THE PASSENGER SEAT. THAT DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY. I THOUGHT THE SEAT BELT WAS STUCK IN THE DOOR. IT TURNS OUT THE LATCH DIDN'T ALLOW ENOUGH SPACE TO CATCH THE DOOR. AFTER 5 MINUTES OF PUSHING THE LATCH AND TRYING TO GET THE DOOR CLOSED, IT FINALLY WAS ABLE TO CLOSE. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR (USED) 2 WEEKS AGO. MY FIRST CAR!! I WISH I HAD BOUGHT A HONDA! TODAY I WAS GOING TO RUN ERRANDS ON MY DAY OFF. THIS TIME THE PASSENGER DOOR WOULDN'T LATCH. I HAVE NO WAY OF SECURING THE DOOR CLOSED SINCE IT IS A 2 DOOR VEHICLE. THE CAR IS SITTING IN MY PARKING LOT, UNABLE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR DOORS HAD BECOME INOPERABLE. THE LATCHES WERE NOT SECURE ENOUGH TO KEEP THE DOORS CLOSED AND THEY WOULD OPEN WHILE DRIVING.

THEY OFFERED NO OTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000. UPDATED 8/6/12 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SECOND DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT ELECTRIC. THE CONSUMER'S CONCERNED IF THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED IF IT WOULD FAIL AGAIN IN A FEW YEARS. UPDATED 08/14/2012 *JS

I HAVE A 2006 COBALT. PERIODICALLY I CAN'T OPEN THE DRIVER DOOR FROM INSIDE AND I HAVE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW TO PULL HANDLE FROM OUTSIDE TO GET OUT. AND THEN FUSS WITH THE LATCH MECHANISM SOMETIMES TO GET THE DOOR TO SHUT. AND RIGHT NOW MY LOCKS ARE GOING UP AND DOWN BY THEMSELVES WHILE I DRIVE AND WHEN I'M PARKED.. I LOCK MY DOORS AND I COME OUT TO MY CAR AND THEY ARE UNLOCKED. AND I CAN'T DISENGAGE MY ALARM...SOO EVERY TIME I OPEN THE DOOR I HAVE TO JUMP IN AND TURN ON THE IGNITION. I CALLED THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND OF COURSE THEY HAVEN'T HEARD ANY COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS. ALTHOUGH, I'VE READ MANY COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS.. THEY TELL ME IF I WANT TO BRING IT IN, I HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE IT! I'M STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR! *JS

MY 2006 CHEVY COBALT HAD WHEEL BEARING ISSUES STARTING AT 40,000 MILES. AT 50,000 MILES MY FRONT END SUSPENSION (LOWER CONTROL ARM AND BUSHINGS), STRUTS, AND DOORS LOCKS STARTED ACTING UP. MY DOOR LOCKS WILL JAM AND I WILL BE TRAPPED IN MY CAR UNTIL THEY (DOOR LOCKS) DECIDE TO WORK AGAIN. FORTUNATELY FOR ME USUALLY ONLY ONE STOPS WORKING AT A TIME. THE DEALER SAYS THAT IT JUST NEEDS GREASING; I HAVE TRIED EVERY GREASE UNDER THE SUN AND NONE HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE A RECALL TO AT LEAST FIX THE DOORS!!!.THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE OVER $1,000 PER DOOR FOR REPAIRS. I HAVE HEARD OF SOME PEOPLES DOORS NEVER OPENING AGAIN AND THE DOOR HAVING TO BE CUT OFF TO BE REPAIRED. IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO QUICKLY AND SAFELY GET...

IT DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING AND EITHER WOULD NOT LET MY DOOR SHUT OR ONCE IT WAS SHUT IT WOULD NOT LET ME OUT. THE LOCKS STILL WORK BUT THE DOOR CONTINUOUSLY GETS STUCK SHUT OR WON'T SHUT AT ALL. *TR

I NOTICED ISSUES STARTING SHORTLY AFTER WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 08 WITH THE DOOR LOCKS ERRATICALLY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING THEMSELVES. MY HUSBAND FIXED THE ISSUE BY DISCONNECTING THE ELECTRIC LOCKS. THEN IN JANUARY OF 2011 THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED WHILE TURNING. WE STARTED IT UP AND GOT IT HOME. WE WENT THROUGH ALL KINDS OF THINGS FIGURING OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. WE CHANGED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, SPARK PLUGS, AND MANIFOLD GASKET.IT WAS RUNNING FINE FOR A WHILE BUT STILL AT IDLE IT FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL. THEN ONE DAY IT WOULDN'T START AT ALL AND THE KEY GOT STUCK IN THE IGNITION. WE JUMPED THE VEHICLE AND THE KEY CAME OUT. THEN WE GOT THE CODES READ AT AUTO ZONE AND FOUND WE NEEDED A IGNITION COIL. SO WE REPLACED THAT. RAN GOOD BUT THE STALLING FEELING AT IDLE WAS STILL PRESENT. THEN THE KEY GOT...

DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUT. THE DOOR LOCK WILL GO UP AND DOWN BUT WILL NOT OPEN. *TR

I HAVE HAD CONSTANT ISSUES WITH THE LOCK MECHANISM ON MY DOOR. A COUPLE OF TIMES WHEN OPENING MY REAR PASSENGER DOOR IT DOES NOT CLOSE. I'VE BEEN ABLE TO FIND A WAY TO GET THE LATCH TO GO BACK TO IT'S ORIGINAL POSITION AND THEN CLOSE AND LOCK THE DOOR. ON 04/02/11 HOWEVER, WHILE DRIVING, THE BACK DOOR OPENED UP ON ITSELF. SOME THINGS FELL OUT OF THE CAR AND WERE SLIGHTLY DAMAGED AND MY FRIEND RIDING IN THE BACK INJURED THEMSELVES WHEN THE DOOR OPENED ON ITS OWN AND SLAMMED AGAINST THEM. WE CLOSED IT AGAIN WITH SUCCESS AND THEN MY FRIEND MOVED TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR AND WE TOOK ANY ITEMS OUT OF THE BACK SEAT AREA. AGAIN THE CAR DOOR OPENED ON ITS OWN HOWEVER, THIS TIME, THE DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, THE MECHANISM THAT KEEPS THE...

DOOR LATCH FAILURE. *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. BOTH THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE DO NOT WORK. FOR 2 DAYS, I HAD TO CLIMB OUT OF THE PASSENGER DOOR. AFTER 2 DAYS, I UNLOCKED MY DOOR AND HEARD A POPPING SOUND FROM THE DOOR. WHATEVER IS JAMMING UP FINALLY RELEASED. IT'S A SAFETY DANGER BECAUSE OF THE RISK FOR AN ACCIDENT. THE DRIVER/OCCUPANTS COULD BE TRAPPED IN THE CAR. THIS HAS OCCURRED 2 SEPARATE TIMES, BOTH LASTING FOR ABOUT 2 DAYS. *TR

FAILURE OF DOOR TO OPEN. FOR 2 DAYS THE DRIVER'S DOOR DID NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDER OR OUTSIDE. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK OF MY 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE AND HAD TO EXIT THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. ALTHOUGH I WAS NOT INJURED, IF THERE HAD BEEN AN ACCIDENT OR A FIRE IN THE CAR, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IN A TIMELY MANNER. VERY DANGEROUS!! I AM UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE AS WELL. MY DEALERSHIP WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE DOOR BECAUSE THEY CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR WITHOUT DAMAGING IT. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE LESS THAN 31,000 MILES SINCE PURCHASING IT NEW IN JUNE OF 2006. IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE READ OF SIMILAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK FAILURES IN THE 2006 COBALT, SO I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT LT. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR LOCKS FAILED. THE DOORS COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO GREASED THE DOORS LOCK MECHANISM, BUT THE FAILURE WASN'T CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WASN'T REPAIRED .THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,401 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 89,518. UPDATED 12/30/10

I BOUGHT A 2006 CHEVY COBALT. AFTER A MONTH THE DOOR LOCKS STARTED TO MALFUNCTION. I HAD THE CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP TWICE TO FIX THE ISSUE. THEN 6 MONTHS AGO I COULD NOT OPEN MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I HAVE HAD TO CUT THROUGH THE PANEL AND ALL OF THE RODS ARE IN PLACE. THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUT. I HAVE TO ENTER THE CAR FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO RIVERTON CHEVY IN SANDY, UT AND I HAVE COMPLAINED TO GM. THEY CLAIM BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR THEY WILL NOT FIX UNLESS I PAY. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME 150$ JUST FOR A DIAGNOSITCS. THE DOOR IS STUCK. THEY WERE THE LAST PEOPLE TO HAVE THE PANELS REMOVED. THIS IS HORRIBLE. IF YOU SEARCH THE INTERNET YOU CAN SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS PROBLEM....

I HAVE OWNED MY 2006 CHEVY COBALT SINCE JUNE 2006 AND HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS OUT OF THIS CAR. I HAVE HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR EVERY REPAIR BECAUSE THEY SEEM TO ALL HAPPEN BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED AND THE DEALERSHIPS WILL NOT REFUND MONEY ON THE REPAIRS. 1) A/C LEAKS WATER IN PASSENGER SIDE FLOOR BOARD. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES AND IT IS STILL LEAKING. NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHY THE WATER IS LEAKING INTO THE CAR. 2) GAS TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO FUEL LINES CRACKING. 3) POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAS ABOUT 130 MILES FROM HOME. 4) THE CAR WOULD DIE IF THE RPM'S GOT TOO LOW, THIS WAS CAUSED BY A CARBON BUILD UP ON THE IDLER. 5) THERE IS NO WAY TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION...

I SEE THERE ARE ISSUES ON THE FUEL MODULE ON THE 2006 CHEVY COBALTS, AND I TOOK IT TO GET REPLACED HOWEVER WHEN I TAKE MY CAR TO GET DIAGNOSED IT CONTINUES TO SAY THERE IS SOMETHING WITH A MISFIRE, AND MY FUEL EVAPORATING. I AM HAVING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH MY 06 COBALTS AND HAS I HAVE DONE EXTENUOUS RESEARCH AND EVERY PROBLEM I'VE FOUND ONLINE OVER 1000 COMPLAINTS AND BLOGS, AND SITES WHERE CUSTOMERS ARE ALL COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. I AM A WORKING COLLEGE STUDENT AND DRIVE TO WORK AND SCHOOL EVERYDAY. MY CAR STOPPED ON THE FREEWAY THE OTHER DAY, AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT HOWEVER THE VEHICLE SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES. NOT ONLY THE FUEL LINE BUT ALSO MY CAR KEY DOES NOT COME OUT THE IGNITION. ALL THESE ISSUES ARE ONGOING AND I HAVE FOUND OVER 10,0000 UNSATISFIED CONSUMERS ALL WITH THE SAME ISSUES...

MY VEHICLE IS A CHEVY COBALT, 2006. THE POWER STEERING HAS BEEN GOING OUT RANDOMLY SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN AND IT GOES OUT, TAKES ME BY SURPRISE AND HAVE TO USE MORE STRENGTH TO GO INTO THE TURNS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. DAILY. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ME OVER $2000 TO HAVE THE POWER STEERING REPLACED, AND I DON'T HAVE THE FUNDS TO PAY FOR THAT AND PAY FOR MY CAR, SO NOTHING HAS BEEN FIXED ON IT. THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF IN A RECALL. I HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS OF POSTS BY OTHER OWNERS ON THE INTERNET RELATING TO THIS SAME ISSUE I AM HAVING. I ALSO AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE LOCKS, THEY LOCK AND...

TRIED TO UNLOCK DOOR USING THE REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY. THE PASSENGER DOOR UNLOCKED, HOWEVER THE DRIVER'S DOOR REMAINED LOCKED. I THEN TRIED UNLOCKING THE DRIVER'S DOOR WITH THE KEY. THE KEY TURNED, HOWEVER THE DOOR REMAINED LOCKED. I ENTERED THE CAR VIA THE PASSENGER DOOR AND TRIED UNLOCKING THE DRIVER'S DOOR USING THE POWER LOCK BUTTON, HOWEVER THE DRIVER'S DOOR REMAINED LOCKED. I THEN TRIED UNLOCKING THE DOOR BY MANUALLY PULLING UP ON THE "POPUP" LOCK AND PULLING ON THE HANDLE, HOWEVER THE DRIVER'S DOOR REMAINED LOCKED. I TOOK THE COBALT TO A DEALER, AND THEY DETERMINED THE LATCH WAS FAULTY. THEY REPLACED THE DRIVER'S DOOR LATCH AT A COST OF 264.04. *TR

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED TO 2006 CHEVY COBALT IN SEPTEMBER OF 06. SINCE THE PURCHASE OF MY , "BRAND NEW" CAR THE AIR CONDITIONING, POWER LOCKS, AND POWER STEERING HAVE ALL CEASED TO WORK. MY AIR CONDITIONING ONLY WORKED FOR ONE SUMMER. THE POWER LOCKS WENT OUT ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. NOW, THE MOST CONCERNING IS THAT MY POWER STEERING HAS NOW FAILED. I TURN THE CAR ON AND HAVE POWER STEERING FOR APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MINUTES, THEN THE CARS POWER STEERING FAILS. I WILL NEVER HAVE THE MONEY TO REPLACE ANY PARTS BECAUSE OF THE HIGH PAYMENTS AND INSURANCE. MY POOR HUSBAND IS A PIZZA DELIVERY PERSON! THIS IS THE WORST THING TO HAPPEN. I TRIED TO BUY AN AMERICAN MADE CAR HOPING THAT I WOULD AT LEAST GET TO DRIVE IT FOR A FEW YEARS WITHOUT HAVING IT BREAK DOWN. NOW GM IS GETTING MY PAYCHECK AND THE...

DRIVER SIDE INTERIOR DOOR OPENER IS PEELING THE METAL COATING FROM THE POLYMER SUBSTRATE. I HAVE BEEN CUTTING MY FINGERS CAUSING BLEEDING WHEN I TRY TO OPEN THE DOOR. CAR HAS LESS THAN 35K MILES. *TR

GEAR SHIFT BREAKS SO IGNITION KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SHIFT ASSEMBLY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ON GM'S PART. *TR

THE DOORS ON MY 4 DOOR CAR HAVE NOT BEEN SECURING WHEN SHUT. I HAVE HAD TO TIE THEM SHUT WITH CLOTHESLINE SO I COULD GET HOME. I HAVE HAD THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR MECHANISM REPLACED BUT CANNOT AFFORD THE OTHER 3 RIGHT NOW. THEREFORE I AM UNABLE TO USE 3 OF MY DOORS. *TR

1) WHEN PURCHASING THIS USED VEHICLE FROM THE DEALER, WE WERE INFORMED THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD BROKEN HIS KEY IN THE IGNITION SWITCH, HENCE THE BROKEN IGNITION LOCK MECHANISM. LIE 2) CAR BEGAN MAKING A FRONT END NOISE OR SO I THOUGHT, THE NEXT DAY AS MY DAUGHTER IN LAW AND MY GRANDKIDS WERE DRIVING HOME THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR LIGHT TURNED ON, SHE APPLIED HER BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE PANEL TURNED ON AND HER STEERING LOCKED. THE TRUCK BEHIND US WAS FORCED OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID SLAMMING IN TO US. AFTER GETTING ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS GOING TO BE AN EASY AND INEXPENSIVE WAY TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM I WAS APPALLED TO READ ALL THE COMPLAINT REGARDING THESE SAME ISSUES. I LOST MY OLDEST CHILD TO FAULTY SEAT BELTS ON THE 01 FORD RANGER EDGE. THIS IS INDEED A SAFETY...
