Interior Rearview Mirror problem #1

At time of purchase of a new 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt, it was noticed the driver side rear view mirror had limited adjustment range and could not be adjusted for a clear rear view before the adjustment lever reached the end of its range. The dealership reported that many customers complain of the same defect but as yet the factory has provided no solution. I believe this factory defect has potential to cause serious accidents or mishaps.

Visibility problem #2

Submission from constituent re 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt recall notice. The consumer stated it has been several weeks, and she has not heard back from the dealer.

Wiper problem #3

These comments apply to many sedans! roof is too low! vision is obstructed . Can't look up. Can't see traffic lights change when stopped in front of them! roof supports, especially in the front make dangerous blind spots. Aside from this , I am only 6 feet tall. Yes I am now in my 60�s. Most sedans are too low to the ground. I can't get in or out! especially if I have to park beside a curb. I can't get out! and just a note: airbags save lives but I hate bucket seats and consoles with cup holders. So many distractions now! I wish I could still have bench seats. Thanks.
