1 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 08/05/2011

I bought my Cobalt in March of 2007. For the last year the radio will only play on the back speakers. The stero it self will play but some time nothing on sreen to show station or time. That not a magior as the problem the has happened now three time. When we go to stop at a light and push in on the cluck the car will die and the gauges on the dash will shoot over to the right and then to the left side fast. The car will restart. In the last month the front in will shimmy and shake when sppling the breaks. Dose it real bad when you slowing down when over 55 mile per hour. I have seen many complains on the front end. Wll it take a person to be killed for the chevy company to have the vehicles called in and looked at. I bought the car because of the price, mile per gallon of gas. And over all look.

2 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 05/15/2011

At 54000 miles a "clunking" noise began from the drivers side front when taking off from a stop or going over moderate bumps in the road. Im at 57000 now and the noise has transfered to the passenger side also. Have not yet had the chance to have it looked at but I feel its safe to assume my problem is going to be the same as all the rest.

3 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 03/11/2011

I own a 2007 chevy colbot car. I am facing my third replacement of front end struts since I purchased the car. As a taxpapyer who helped bailout gm and even purchased gm product for the first time, I am extremely upset. My gm dealer at jack matia in elyria, ohio 44035 has repalced the other struts.

4 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 08/31/2010

Front end noise when hitting any small bump. Dealer says front end bushings need replacement. Car is a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. Car has 45,00 km and is just out of warranty. Car was driven by a woman and she didn't notice the front end noise. This car has been like this for a while as the front tires are worn out. The vehicle should not have this problem with such low km.

5 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 02/12/2010

I have a 2007 colbalt lt and had to have the brakes and struts replaced at 40,000 miles. The front of the car was shaking when putting on the brakes and had a loud noise. I took the car to a repair shop when they replaced the brakes and struts. The struts shouldn't go up this quick. Now the key gets stuck in the ingition.

6 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 01/31/2010

While driving my 2007 chevy Cobalt I could feel it was pulling to the right. After awhile the whole front in was starting to vibrate. When I would be driving it felt like to whole engine was going to fall out. The noise was very loud and annoying. I seriously do not feel safe driving this car. I finally got it replaced, but this is two things in the last year, the front end bushing and the steering column. On this car we were told you could of just replace the bushings that you had to replace the whole part holding it up. This problem occurs at all speed limits.

2007 chevy has rattling noise and sounds like front end is falling off. Took to dealer and was told the front end bushing(s) has to be replaced at a cost near 400. 00. How many complaints do we need to make before a recall is in order.
