Equipment Problems of Chevrolet Cobalt - part 2

For the past three days driving to and from work my chevy Cobalt has been putting me in danger. When I start to break, sometimes the symbol with a lock and key, and air bag lights will turn on and the car steering wheel would lock and the brakes would come up resulting in the car being turned off while I am on drive. This is dangerous because I cannot turn the wheel and the brake is also locked. I get out of my car in the middle of traffic to push it by myself then jump in it and try to start it. This method works sometimes but is dangerous to not only myself but more importantly others. I do not know what is the main cause for this issue however I did some research and did not see any recall on this problem. I need help fingering it out before I hurt myself or others in the middle of the road driving unable to steer or break.

After driving car approximately 4 miles on county roads, at 25-35mph. I arrive at my destination, stop, shift into park, and reach to turn key off. I am unable to move key from the run position, and/or remove the key. So my car is sitting there running and I am unable to turn off the engine. After nearly 10 minutes trying to turn the key back to off while jiggling the key and the steering wheel, and shifting the gear shift down and back to park several times, I am unable to regain control of the ignition switch and key. I resort to pulling a fuse underhood to kill the engine.

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.

Unable to remove key from ignition. After placing the car in park and shutting it off. You can not remove the key from the ignition. You are unable to turn the ignition to the position to remove it. This has happened repeatly.

I just noticed that there has been a few recalls on my vehicle and ive done some repairs on it since I have owned it but not on any off the parts that were once recalled. I can almost guarantee that my car was never fixed after the recall was issued because the car still has most of the original parts on it. So if I can get these problems fixed j need to ASAP.

Suddenly will not start. Went inside the store and when I came back out it wouldnt start.

The air bag light keeps saying needs maintenance and the motor has no compression.

Gas line leak on drivers side under a clamp.

Battery keeps dying and key is stuck in ignition. Have to keep replacing battery every 8 months which are brand new 5 year battery. Fuel line was replaced but still strong odor of gas and rotting fuel line again. Safety hazard! this has been reported by a large number of people. Why is there not a recall on this?? vehicle was stationary at the time. This happens all the time so I can only put one date in here. Something is also wrong with my electrical system and the check engine light comes on all the time after diagnosing with my mechanic and having it turned off. Why isn't gm doing anything to help us?.

Traction control light comes on . Difficult to control car due to rough year shifting, lose power steering . Car eventually loses power. Dangerous cannot get out of traffic without causing accident. Turn off car and restart all lights are off and seems ok but will randomly happen again-- two times in same week!!!! this is crazy, afraid to drive vehicle but have no choice cannot lose my job.

When driving at a constant rate, with constant accelerator pressure, between approximately 25 to 50 mph, the rpms jump/fluctuate causing the car to lurch and hesitate. This can be a safety hazard, particularly in icy conditions. The only way to avoid the hesitation is to actively accelerate or decelerate. There are numerous owners that have posted an identical issue on message boards and have stated that their vehicles had similar issues that were remedied by similar repair processes and that Chevrolet has altered the process used to make replacement parts as the initial parts were defective. In addition to being a safety hazard, it is also an excessive and costly burden on vehicle owners. My vehicle has only 40,000 miles on it and has been doing this since under 35,000 miles. It cannot be documented without a video. The rpms jumping is a constant and unrelenting issue when driving at a constant rate of speed between approximately 25-50 mph.

While I was starting the car my air bag lights started blinking on and off. While traveling on city streets the air bags was also blinking on and off.

The key gets stuck in the ignition and you have to wiggle and jiggle the key and the shifter to get it to come out. Drove the vehicle a short distance approx 15 miles, parked and key would not come out. Spent approx 15 minutes trying to get key out, finally after much wiggling and jiggling it came out.

I had the ignition switch changed 3 years ago and it is now messed up. My car won't start and I need a new ignition switch.

Sudden strong smell of gasoline coming from the engine into the inside of the vehicle. Car then acts like it's going to stall and has no power. No visual leaks of gasoline anywhere.

Takata recall. I have a 2006 chevy Cobalt 2. 2. The traction control light is on and the power steering is on the dash. When driving it has a hard shift to it and power steering at all. It all start with the traction control light come on. I cant not get it off.

The key gets stuck in ignition when parking car and turning vehicle off pulling key out gets stuck have to wiggle it out got hit on driverside front end no airbags came out the time I got hit driver side. It was because I tried to stop and vehicle kept accelerating wouldn't stop.

A few years ago I had my car sent in for the recall that caused the vehicle to shut off. Now I am having the exact same issue again! when I come to a stop or slow down at an intersection the vehicle will shut off and lose all power! I have done a lot of research and this is still happening for a lot of people. Mechanics cannot give a for sure answer as to what could possibly be causing this issue.

My car is the same make and model and year that the takata air bags recall but yet I never got a recall it says when I look it up no recalls it scares me cause how do I know my car isn't defected like the others. So what happens if I get in a crash and my airbag kills me or I get hurt.

The key is stuck in the ignition and the car will not start. In addition, I can't get the gear to shift to park to move to neutral, I've lost all power to the car from the lights to being unable to open the trunk. I had to put the emergency break on for fear that the car would roll away because I couldn't move the gear shift. The car has been parked in my driveway for the last three months.

Gas fumes inside and out, no leaks found when stopped.

After smelling gas I brought my car to the dealer and they said nothing was wrong. After smelling gas real bad years later I brought it to a repair shop and was told the fuel pump was leaking. This was a covered extended warranty from chevy. The dealer I went to also told me it is definitely a free repair under warranty. I called chevy and they were very rude and told me it is not covered. I would have brought it to a dealer for repair if they sent me a notice. The dealer printed a paper showing me it was covered with no limit in miles or years. Please help.

I was locked inside of my vehicle because the doors would not unlock. While pressing the lock/unlock button from the inside of the vehicle, the locks would not move up/down. It took about 30minutes before the locks opened up and that was only on the passenger side. The driver side never opened. My vehicle was parked/stationery.

Car will not start takes hours to restart car. Car battery will not die die car will not start. Happens when car stops.
