Yes, I would like to say that I own a Chevrolet Cobalt lt coupe(used), I've had this car for about a year and a half. Probably about 3 months after owning it the gear shift slipped out of place. Meaning that the lever you push to put the car in and out of gear is loose. I can move the "stick" up and down without any worry. I can easily accidentally hit the stick and it could possibly go into reverse. I have taken it to my mechanic and he stated that he could not fix it, but believes there may be a recall. I'm only saying this because I'm afraid that while I'm going down the road and myself or a passenger accidentally hits the stick a little, that the car will switch into a different gear and ruin my engine or cause a wreck.
