CAR HAS A HARD YANK AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND STARTING OFF. KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM REAR OF CAR SINCE DAY ONE OF PURCHASE. VIBRATION IN ACCELERATOR AND GEAR SHIFTER. LIGHTS ON INTERIOR OF CAR DASHBOARD GOES ON AND OFF. PROBLEM STILL HAPPENING TODAY AND THE TSM WAS REPLACED AS WELL, AS THEY ALWAYS SAY THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS NEVER CAME ON AT ANYTIME THE PROBLEM HAPPENED. IT HAPPENS AFTER CAR IS DRIVEN AND HEATED UP. ONLY HAPPENED WHEN LONG TRIP OVER 50 MILES, NOW SINCE IGNITION HAS BEEN CHANGED ON CALL BACK. PROBLEMS HAS WORSENED LIGHTS ON AND OFF, TRANSMISSION HARD SHIFT WHEN DRIVING SHORT TRIPS AS WELL AS A CONSTANT VIBRATION. KNOCKING COMING FROM GAS TANK SIDE OF CAR WAS MAINLY DURING COOLER WEATHER NOW HAPPENED WHEN DAY WAS ABOVE 90 DEGREES. ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE I THINK AND HAS CAUSED MANY PROBLEMS AND EVEN DEATHS. DO NOT THINK IT WAS KEYS IGNITION. I SERIOUSLY THINK IS IN THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. PROBLEM SHOULD OF BEEN FIXED WHEN 1ST REPORTED, BUT THEY ONLY RESET THE TRANS COMPUTER. *TR

I AM EXTREMELY UPSET WITH MY 2007 CHEVY COBALT, I DO NOT WANT TO COMPLAIN, HOWEVER, SOMETHING MUST BE DONE. FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE HAD THE CAR I HAVE HAD A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE WARRANTY. I NEEDED TO REPLACE MULTIPLE KEYS AND DOOR HANDLES. RECENTLY. THE CAR HAS FAILED AND IS SITTING. I FIND THIS IRONIC SINCE MY WARRANTY RECENTLY RAN OUT. THE TIMING CHAIN JUMPED AND BENT THE VALVES. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS REPAIR AND IS VERY COSTLY. I HAVE HAD EVERYTHING CHECK REGULARLY. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND I NEARLY WRECKED MY CAR, AS I WAS DRIVING WHEN IT HAPPENED. I RECENTLY RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CAR WAS RECALLED BEFORE FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE. PRIOR TO THE ENGINE ISSUES RECENTLY, I HAD NOTICED AN IGNITION AND STEERING PROBLEM. HOWEVER, NOW I CANT EVEN MOVE THE CAR TO GET THE RECALL ISSUE RESOLVED. THIS VEHICLE WAS MY FIRST CAR, THE CAR IS NEARLY NEW AND WAS WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. ESPECIALLY SO CLOSE TO THE WARRANTY EXPIRATION AND WITH NO WARNING. THERE WAS NO WAY TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. I WAS NOT AWARE THAT COBALTS HAD ZERO TOLERANCE. THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE CASE. I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THE CAR IF I KNEW OF THESE POTENTIAL PROBLEMS. I HAVE FAITH THAT GM WILL HELP TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES. THANKS SO MUCH. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ALONG, GETTING OFF OF AN EXIT RAMP ONTO A MAIN HWY, I REACHED OVER TO TURN MY DEFROSTER OFF, WHEN THE WHEEL JERKED TO THE LEFT, I ATTEMPTED TO GAIN CONTROL BUT NEVER GOT TOTAL CONTROL ALTHOUGH I DID GET BACK ONTO THE ROAD. A FEW SECONDS LATER THE CAR JERKED AGAIN AND THIS TIME I REALIZED THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT MOVING-IT WAS LOCKED UP AND I COULD NOT TURN IT. I THEN HIT THE GUARD RAIL ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE HWY AND THEN CAME ACROSS TO THE SOUTH SIDE HITTING THE CONCRETE BRIDGE RAILING. THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL HAD SUPPOSEDLY BEEN CORRECTED BUT THE IGNITION LOCKED UP ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR
