The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. The contact stated that there was smoke coming from the dashboard and filled the whole vehicle. The fire department was dispatched and informed the contact that there was a shortage from the adapter that was under the radio device charger. The contact also stated that all the wiring under the driver's side dashboard became fried and the vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 170,000.
The door locks on the car keep unlocking and locking while driving or stopping. It happens approximately 50 times every time I drive. The locks will also lock and unlock while the car is off and locked leaving it vulnerable to theft. I have to keep my car in my garage for fear of theft. I am unable to drive it anywhere. This is dangerous for anyone who has children as they will try and open the doors. I have had to replace the electrical wiring a few times. It is getting costly to no avail.
My husband and I purchased the vehicle in question in April 2007, at approx. 50,000 miles my car started to miss, then began to accelerate on its own and lunge as I was coming to a stop. We brought the car back to dealer where purchased, we were then sent on "wild goose chase," first we were told it was a fuel pedal sensor, nxt they replaced the computer, followed by the wiring harness, this however, did not fix the problem, we took it back for a fourth time and the ended up rebuilding the head on the motor, car has not ran correctly ever since. We tried to file a lemon law claim but needed four receipts to prove warranty work, we had three and after the fourth when picked up car the dealer would not release fourth, that was a year ago. My car now has 88,000 miles on it, it is beginning to idle rough again and when I put fuel in it, the car does not want to start, at first it will not do anything, and then it will try to turn over but will not start I then have to slam the fuel to it in order to get it started, once it starts it will idle rough and I have to keep giving it fuel in order for the idle to smooth. This is the worst vehicle I have ever owned, I will be hard pressed to ever buy another chevy!!!!!!!.
