3 Accelerator Pedal problem of the 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt

Failure Date: 05/17/2005

I was driving about 40mph with my two kids in the car and then the vehicle slowed down and wouldn't acelarate I was able to pull over to the side of the road and then the car just stalled. I then put the car in park and waited a few minutes. I then tried starting the car again and it did start. My vehicle has 600 miles. Today I received a notice from Chevrolet motor division central office stating that they are conducting a voluntary customer satisfaction program that affects certain 2005 model year Chevrolet Cobalt vehicles equipped with a 2. 2l engine and air conditioning. I called the dealership service department and also the 800 number on my letter and told them about my vehicle stalling and to let them now I received the letter. I'm scheduled for an appointment to correct the problem and to look into why my vehicle stalled. Although they state this is "voluntary customer statisfaction program" I think they should just call it a recall and have all customers who purchased this model bring their vehicle in now rather than when they experience a problem.

4 Accelerator Pedal problem of the 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt

Failure Date: 01/08/2005

I purchased the car literally off the showroom floor. One day and 38 miles later it stalled out on my wife on the way to church. Two weeks later I got it back. It turned out to be a problem in the accelerator pedal. The dealer had to finally take one from another car to help solve my problem. Two days later I now have a problem with the rear "third eye" brake light. It will not go off. I am returning the vehicle on Monday and will wait to see what this problem is. I know the coblat is new but I shouldn't be having these kind of problems.
