general problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt

My car dies unexpectedly when coming to a full stop at traffic lights and stop signs.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. The contact stated while driving at unknown speeds the gears shift failed and locked up. There are no warning lights illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the issue but no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 110386. Ap.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. While driving at approximately 70 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the speedometer remained on 0 mph. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to numerous dealers, who confirmed that the transmission control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 140,000.

I was driving in town and the power steering warning flashed across the dashboard reader. I assumed I would need to go get some power steering fluid to fix the problem. The next day I was descending rapidly down a very steep curving hill when the power steering went out completely and I could not control the vehicle! I narrowly avoided a collision with another car and some trees! since then I have done some research an found innumerable complaints about this very issue across several model years of the Cobalt. It is well documented that this is a serious and chronic issue and gm has largely ignored the safety of those who keep them in business!! what a bad business model! we are a one car and one income family and now I simply cannot let my teenagers drive at all because I don't have $1000. 00 to fix my car right before the holidays! thanks gm!!.

Driving down the highway @ 55mph and the power steering cuts off, the power brakes cut off, the abs light comes on, the turn signals start going on and off at random, the gauges jump up and down nonstop. I just picked up my car and was told it referenced TSB#08-07-30-021 (NHTSA#10025402). The check engine light is still on because of this problem. The shop referenced the following error codes from the check engine light: p0575 u7300 u0121 u0140 thank goodness no one was behind me or around me at the time because I was unable to properly steer the vehicle, brake, or accelerate. This is a major problem that should be addressed by gm.

I take the car to camino real Chevrolet to do the recall for ignition key on 6/9/2014, I get back my car on the same day and go home. I feel that there is some problem on control of speed. On 6/11/2014, I went out with the car for a few mile, the car began lost power and slow down. So I called aaa to tow my car back to the dealer for investigate, they ask me for a checking fee of $300 and told me that they have changed the part, it will be other problem. So I searched the internet there is more recall on that model on the fuel pump and other, but they refuse to replace for me. So I called gm, they said there is no recall on my car, I don't know why? information I searched from the internet said that the wrong computer program, connection, coded keys anti-theft function will affect the car from starting. They never check that and told me to paid for changing the fuel pump. What should I do? I have no car to use over one week.

Was driving doen the street like 25 mph all of asudden the gas pedal dropped car started to accelerate at a high speed I pulled up the emergency brake with lick put car in park while in motion and shut off car it still wanted to drive then shut down. I had my daughter and grandson in the car we were scared for our lives.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. The contact stated while driving 15 mph, the vehicle all of a sudden started going in reverse. The second time it had an opposite effect. The contact was in reverse and the vehicle went forward. The contact scraped the side of the vehicle on the curb. The contact was not injured. The dealer was not notified of the problem. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 22,000. An.

The first incident happen in 2012 and caused a crash. I was driving down the street and needed to stop at a red light and put my foot to the floor on the brakes and it did not stop me. I could not move the steering wheel either so I could not avoid hitting the lady in front of me. Luckily, I was not going very fast and everyone was okay. While exchanging insurance information, I noticed my keys were in the floor board of my vehicle. I didn't think anything of it, because when it came out of the shop it seemed just fine. Then, I was on the freeway on my way to work in 2013 and my knee bumped my key ring and they fell to the floor. I could not slow down or switch lanes. I got a speeding ticket. Then in November, 2013, the same thing happened as the first time which caused a wreck. I could not stop at a red light and rear ended a vehicle in front of me. I was barely moving whatsoever though, so I got lucky again. Recently, my check engine light came on and I took it to the autovbody shop in town and had to pay 800 dollars to get the timing chain replaced. I have had nothing but issues with that car and now I find out that many recalls have been issued on the vehicle and I have not been notified of a single one. Apparently gm was supposed to notify owners with their registration information. My registration just came up for renewal as of may 1st and I have not been notified or instructed what to do. It has gotten to the point now where I duct tape my key so that it will not come out while I am driving. I limit my driving to necessity travel because I am too afraid that something else, possibly worse, than what has already happened thus far.

The vehicle has a built in anti theft system . This system is controlled by a computer . As well as an etching in the key that is recognized by the ignition . This has been an on going problem for us where the anti theft system will engage while you are driving . When this happens you lose your instrumentation, power steering , your transmission slips and your engine sputters . This has happened to us at high speed in the freeway , slow speed on city streets and everything in between . The real issue is that it is so sporadic that our local gm dealer is unable to assess the issue .

I can not remember the date or mileage of first occurrence. I bought this car in July 2006 new. The main annoyance with this car is the bushings. I have gotten them fixed 3 times since 06, and yet making the noise again when I break which indicates they need to be replaced again. Second annoyance is the radio, I have had my speakers replaced as only the back ones would work. Every winter my speakers go out, one day will be the left front, next day will be front right - they choose when they want to work and when they do not want to, and the other day none of the sound would work! third my rpm's will randomly shoot up while I'm driving, going at a constant speed. Not very happy with this car. . .
