general problems of the 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt - part 2

Gm dealer was contacted with recall information on this vehicle in last week of may 2014. We were advised that the part would be ordered, we would be put on a waiting list, and then called when the repair was scheduled. Two months have now passed with no idea from the dealer when parts will arrive or when this safety issue will be corrected. I feel like I am sitting on a ticking time bomb every time I drive this car and that gm isn't really that concerned with this safety issue. What's more important to me is that this is my daughter's car and my safety with this vehicle is not near as important at that of one I love very dearly. It is really unacceptable that gm would drag their feet on this safety issue and not be responsive in the determination of when this ignition recall will be fixed.

I was driving and had to pull to the side of the road because the lights kept on going from dim to bright and the automatic lights kept on switching up and down real fast and the car just lost its powersteering there is a strong smell of gas coming from the car and when I put gas in it it takes a few minutes to actually crank back up. Im afraid while driving fast the eletric problems will cause serious harm. There was a recent recall on this model and all the problems I stated and I need them fixed.

My car is not working. At first I thought it was the battery, so I had it changed. I have power but it still will not start. I doesn't make any sounds when I turn the ignition key to start it. There is no hesitation, just pure silence. This is ridiculous! I'm just glad I decided not to go out of town the day it happened. I would have been stranded!.

I was trying to start my car and turned the key in the ignition and my car was completely dead. I thought it was the battery and tried to take the key out, but it was stuck and wouldn't come out. I googled how to take it out and that worked, we jumped the car thinking it was the battery, but without the key in the ignition, the lights and electrical allturned on. This tells me that the car's ignitor/shifter was stuck in the "on" position. It could have been a dangerous situation if I were anywhere but home.

My car radio automatically switches to aux on its own. This is not just when I go over a bump, or when I'm driving. I can be sitting in a parking lot listening to a radio waiting and out of nowhere the radio cuts out and I look and its in aux mode. I first noticed it doing this when I would come out to my car. I have a remote start and my radio is always on but the volume turned down. For the past month or two I noticed when I came out to my car it was on aux. I knew I didn't leave it that way, so I was so confused on how this could have happened. I would switch it to radio and while I drove to my destination it was fine. Then it started to get worse, happening while I'm sitting in my car in the morning. I'd turn it to radio and seconds later it was switching to aux. I'd be driving down the highway and out of nowhere I lose the radio and look and it's on aux. It's not happening just because I'm driving over a bump, or its getting bumped somehow. It now happens everytime I use my vehicle. If I've remoted started my car, I always come out to it on aux, even though I know for a fact I have not left it that way. I started just turning the radio off when I get out of my car.

I was driving in a local, when all the sudden, the windshield wiper started pumping water by itself and the wipers went on by itself. When all the water was pumped out, the was a burning odor and smoke started coming out through the ac vents. I turn the ac off; parked on the side, opened the hoop and there was not any smoke coming out any where. I returned inside the car turned on, kept the windows down because of the smell inside, and went back home. I refilled the windshield pump with cleaning fluid, turned the car on, tried the windshield and the are ok. I noticed right after that my ac and or heater is not working at all. I check with a mechanist who told me after several test, that it seems the ac/heater control panel when bad. This incident scared the expletive out of my son who was in the car with me at that time.

I have a big issue about the odometer reading on my Cobalt. I have made several complaints to the dealership. I bought my car 7/29/09 and it now has 59,740 miles on it. This is only an in town car. I bought tires in 3/11 and the tire place last week said I put over 12,000 miles since then. This is no way possible. They say they have tested it and there is no problems. I have not change my driving habits since I bought this car. The car I had before this had a regular odometer and not the digital. The car was 1997 and it had 155,000 and I drove out of town a lot. By the end of the year I won't have a power train warranty anymore. There is just no way in hell this is correct and I have heard others say the same. Someone needs to step up to this issue. . This looks like a way for the manufactures to get out of warranties.

Headlights side marker cover came off on both headlamps not at the same time short time after the first one then the right side came off causes glare. Power locks do not function any more with buttons only function with gear shifter sometimes locks will go lock to unlock by themselves multiple times with or with not driving the car. Contacted gm and they informed me that the headlights are not recalled on my year but they are for the 2005's. Obviously they did not fix the problem from then. I will not by another gm product ever.

We purchased a 2009 chevy Cobalt for our son who is just learning to drive. While practicing parallel parking and the 3 point turn the steering locked up and was impossible to move. We took it into the dealer who said that this is a problem that could occur (and there was a bulletin issued by gm) because the power steering is run by computer and it could overheat which could happen when practicing parallel parking. However, there was nothing they can do to fix it. I do not find this an acceptable solution since my son is a first time driver and has not even taken his driving test yet. I would like to know if there are any options available.

Background: I have a chevy Cobalt ('07) and currently having a serious problem with power steering. I did some research and noticed hundreds of owners experienced the same or similar problem all over the country(us). 1. Problem occurs after start driving for couple hundreds feet or less. Regardless of speed or turning the steering wheel, problem will occur. 2. How often? varies from couple minutes to couple seconds, but problem occurs every time the car runs. 3. Shutting down the engine and reignite it again. This will restart the programming of the vehicle but does not solve the problem. After couple of hundred of feet, problem arise.
