Trunk of the vehical has collected water. My spare tire was not available when needed during the winter because it was frozen to the bottom of my trunk. The water collected is so excessive that enough of it was able to cover my spar tire and freeze it. Water comes up through both wheel wells and does not drain out.
My wife an I were stoped at middlebrook pike trafic light waiting for the oncoming traffic to pass on western avenue in knoxville,tennessee so that we could make a right turn. We were rear ended by another vehicle who failed to stop. My seat belt did not restrain me ,I was bouncing back and forth several times(I remember going back and forth around 3 to 4 times before it knocked me out). The seat belt just did not hold me ! at that time I weighed about 250 to 260lbs. I was paralized from the waist down for about 9 days at the university of tennessee hospital in knoxville on the neuro floor. I have been to patricia neal rehabation several times and they have fitted me for a power wheel chair. If the seatbelt would have worked properly I would not be in this situation the head rest is bent and loose were my head bounced off of it severaltimes, an the seat itself moves when it is supposed to be stationary(it can go forward or backward) without warning. The car dealer said they was a recall on the seat belts on this car but they never did fix them. The car dealer had people who bought vehicles sign papers that they had their pre-delivery inspection when they did not. The dealer would give them a tank of gas for it an also for any letter from gm on ranking the local dealer's service favorably only. This dealer knew of several recalls on this vehicle but they did not want to fix them under the manufactors warranty. My wife called gm headquarters and they told her that if she had any more problems with her car they would replace it . I also have a spinal cord injury.
My 2006 chevy Cobalt will sometimes loose power when you turn a corner or from take off. It will hesitate for a few seconds a then start to take off gradually. There has been no engine light on but one time. The electric power steering light came on (making a dinging noise) then went off when the car started to run better. Seems to have more problems during the colder weather. I called gm dealerships and they said there is nothing they can do about it. It a safety issue because people are behind you when you take off and all of a sudden your car starts to act like it has no power and I almost been hit from behind. Amco transmisson place told me it might be something with the transmission trying to take off in second gear. Gm dealerships said they doubt it and would not look at it. I was wondering if anyone else has had problems. Gm in tulsa, claremore oklahoma said they never heard of it but I do not belive them. This problem happens all the time.
I was driving to a different state, and about 3 hours into the drive, I stopped for gas. After shutting the car off, I was unable to remove the key from the ignition. I was able to release the key by reaching under the steering column and pressing the manual release button. Even after having recall work on another item at a gm dealer, they didn't offer any sort of solution on how to get this fixed. I still have to press the manual release to get the key out. Contacted gm customer service through email and they offered no remedy and claimed no responsibility.
I have a 2006 chevy Cobalt, the check engine light will come on in the car and the car will just stop or sometimes the check engine light doesn't come on and the car will stop. I was crossing a busy intersection and the car just stopped, I tried to start it back up but it just stalled. This has happened several times were you could be driving and the car will just stop. I was at a stop light and the car just stop. It's becoming a driving hazard, because I really don't know when the car will just stop on me. I have had a diagnostic check on the car from the dealership and they found nothing wrong and I had them check it again they said it was a sensor. The next day after the dealership checked my car the car stopped again in traffic. Now this will be the third time I will have take it for repairs to see what is wrong. I'm afraid I'll get hurt or my teenager daughter will get hurt, because the car just stops. The car also stoppped on the expressway while driving, I was in the slow lane and was able to pull over. Can you please help. . .
For the last 10 days I have been having problems with my 2006 chevy Cobalt. For some reason after u park the car the vehicle wont go all the way into park and u cant remove the key from the ignition. Also when I start the car the shifter seems to be completely stuck and after I continue to restart and press the brake it finally will move. Seems to be a linkage problem. I looked this up online and other people are having the same problem. So my vehicle has been sitting in the garage since Saturday with the keys stuck in it. When are we gonna start getting proper recalls on this car or have it labeled as a lemon. I just got it out of the shop a month ago for the power steering problem.
Passenger side door started to not close when this first started and after a while the door got completely stuck and will not open and the passenger side door handle is cracking almost ready to brake. Driver side door is starting to stick shut also.
