3 Brake Light On problem of the 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt

Failure Date: 09/15/2012

I notice as I was driving that my brake lightes would stay on when I am not pushing on the brake. It does not matter the speed that I am going. But when I do push on the brakes the lights go off, which I dont think should be happening since the driver behind me will not know that I am stopping. This is something that I dont think this should be happening on a car that was 2 years old at the time this started. I have been told by my dealership that other customer have complained about the same issue.

4 Brake Light On problem of the 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt

Failure Date: 06/20/2012

I drive a 2009 chevy Cobalt ss, manual transmission when I parked at a friends apartment complex I applied my e-brake on a slight hill and the brake did not hold at all. I had to re park my vehicle on a completely flat surface and then place it in first gear. A few days later I decided to test something. So I parked my car on a flat surface and engaged the e-brake. The lever was able to be pulled all the way up with very little resistance. I then got out of my vehicle and was able to push my vehicle forward with little resistance. I then took my vehicle to the dealership and they fixed it under warranty. I then began to apply the e-brake and put my car in first gear every time I park. Then a few months ago, about on 01/05/2014 I experienced the similar issue. I noticed that I was able to pull my e-brake lever all the was up with little resistance. I then parked my car with it in neutral and the e-brake engaged and was able to push the car forward with very little effort. The dealership stated that the part is no longer under warranty and that they would not fix it for free. While looking online I noticed that this is a common problem with this vehicle. I found that the brake cable get stretched out very easily and that one of the two brake cables is often more stretched than the other.

7 Brake Light On problem of the 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt

Failure Date: 07/21/2005

The contact had several problems with a vehicle he previously owned. The vehicle stalled while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealership for inspection. The dealer determined that the key chain was too long and touched his knee. The second problem concerned the brake light coming on momentarily. The dealership could not duplicate the problem. The third problem was that the door handle stuck one eighth of an inch from the door. As a result, he returned the vehicle back to the dealership. The ignition switch was replaced to hold the consumers heavy key chain. Updated 01/19/06.
