The service airbag light started to come on and off every day and then the key started getting stuck in the ignition about a week ago before it finally wouldn't come out all together.
Air bag light is on continuously and now the power steering light goes on and you loose steering as you are driving. The air bag light was fixed 1 time by dealer and now it is on again and they say they will not fix it because it has been tampered with but they are the only one's to work on it I have my repair invoice. The power steering light just started coming on and now you loose steering as soon as it goes on. It almost caused an accident the first time it happened because I was going around a curve and a car was coming the other way and I lost my steering. Luckily I didn't hit the other car but I think this is a major safety hazard.
My Cobalt has been in repair the center at 2 different dealerships for a total of 17 visits. The air conditioner leaks excessively into the passenger floorboard. My headlight indicator comes on repeatedly, my temperature controls do not always work, my emergency brake light comes when the brake is not on, most recently my gauges have been quitting as I am driving and my left blinker has stopped working. My car has been in a shop for a total of over 60 days since I bought it in sept. 2005. I have contacted gm/Chevrolet in an attempt to settle these problems and they will not assist me. My warranty will expire in less than 8000 miles. Gm/Chevrolet - manufacturer and dealerships- will not assist me. I am very unsatisfied with my purchase, gm delivered a defective car and they will not stand by their reputation.
