This car has swaybars which I am told stabalize the car in turns I have had to replace them twice in a year and a half and now they are broken again and my warranty is expired and this cost a few hundred dollars every time they need to be replaced and I fear replacing them wont really fix the problem as it keeps happening and I dont know what to do at this point either put more money into the car or get rid of it which I can not afford to do .

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt. The contact stated when driving over a bump in the road, the entire front end would rattle as if was going to fall off. The vehicle had experienced the failure before and the dealer made repairs to the bushings. The failure recurred. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was yet contacted regarding the recurring failure. The failure mileage was 10,000.
Have had many issues with the front steering, dealership claims nothing found. Now it will not pass inspection due to the steering knuckles. Radio was replaced 3 times!!! door locks do not stay locked/unlocked. Dealer states they never found any problems with it. Vehicle now has 110,000 miles on it.
Crash car ,steering became difficult to handle. Ran off road to right hit bank and flipped car several time. Car was going a little fast, but this car should have been able to handle the speed. One guy had a injury to his arm and the other was thrown from the car leading to his death.

I can not remember the date or mileage of first occurrence. I bought this car in July 2006 new. The main annoyance with this car is the bushings. I have gotten them fixed 3 times since 06, and yet making the noise again when I break which indicates they need to be replaced again. Second annoyance is the radio, I have had my speakers replaced as only the back ones would work. Every winter my speakers go out, one day will be the left front, next day will be front right - they choose when they want to work and when they do not want to, and the other day none of the sound would work! third my rpm's will randomly shoot up while I'm driving, going at a constant speed. Not very happy with this car. . .
Car has less than 20,000 miles and have failure of the bushing the right side is a total failure bad enough they said not to drive it and the left is about ready to fail also
we're having them replaced and the front end realigned
but we're on a limited road island and there are 7 other Cobalts here that are all having the same problems is this something locally here or happening nationwide.

Took my car to dealer because of bad clunking in front end. They replaced the bushings (while under warranty). Now (58000 mi) I am having the same problem and the clunking is much worse?! seems to be an ongoing problem with these Cobalts. Seems there should be some kind of recall with all these complaints before there is a horrific accident!!!! also (I have the 2 door) there is a constant problem with the doors not working! all the sudden you try to get in and the handle moves but does not open! I would have to enter/exit on passenger side! I have had parts to this replaced several times now. This too could also be very dangerous if in an accident! I am still happy with my car but not with the same ongoing issues that could lead to potential disaster!.
Suspension is really bad.
Not long after I bought my 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt (on labor day 2006), I noticed that occasionally there's a noise in the rear of the car which sounds like someone is knocking on the trunk. I took car to dealer and they could not duplicate the situation so they said there was nothing they could do about it. I've had numerous people in my car hear this noise and ask me what it is.
