#2001 of 2171 Re: Really warming up to that Cobalt [aladdinsane] by tsjay Aug 03, 2008 (8:38 am)
Replying to: aladdinsane (Aug 03, 2008 6:47 am) I just got a stripped down LS. It doesn't even have power locks, power windows, or cruise control. It does have an auto tranny.   Tom
#2002 of 2171 2007 cobalt update by bporter1 Aug 10, 2008 (7:17 pm)
I just thought that I would update everyone on my experiences with my 2007 Cobalt LTZ. My car has 20400 miles. The gas mileage has been pretty good, but the power of this engine still impresses me. I had a few minor issues taken care of by the dealer such as loose trim in the back, and some weatherstripping that had folded over causing some wind noise. The windnoise is still prominent, but the weathersrtipping is not the issue. My front brake rotors are warped, and the dealer will resurface them under warranty. Other than those minor problems the car has been great. I would recommend it to anyone shopping for a small car. The XM radio is great on both short and long trips.

Push for replacement no matter if teh dealer says GM won't pay. I had warped rotor on the rear of a leSabre and they turned them. But within 10K that was back. Once warped, always warped.

Replying to: bporter1 (Aug 10, 2008 7:17 pm) I own a 2005 Equinox. At 4,500 milles my rotors had to be resurface (warped) causing of a vibration when I applied the brakes. At 13,200 milles the same thing happened (always under warranty) the third time at 21,750 milles the dealer said that they could not resurface the rotors anymore because of the thickness and had to change the rotors and that it would not pass on warranty because it's part of the brake system and they called it "normal usage". I called G.M. 1-800 # , they contacted the service manager at the dealer and the rotors where changed under warranty. G.M. was very comprehensive in my case and told me that it wasn't normal to have the rotors resurface twice and then at 21,750 milles to change them and that I had still 75% good on my brake pads. My Equinox wasn't even 3 yrs old. G.M. called it "premature use". Don't let your dealer get you. If you need advice call G.M.'s 1-800 #.

Replying to: bporter1 (Aug 10, 2008 7:17 pm) Too bad about your wind noise. I hope they can correct it. That's one of the things that I appreciate about my Cobalt: it has a very quiet ride for an ecomomy car.   I am more amazed all the time by the styling, quality, performance, and economy of a car that only stickered for $15,530 and had a $2000 rebate on it!   Tom
#2006 of 2171 That useless plastic engine cover? by tcalof Aug 13, 2008 (7:34 am)
New '08 Cobalt LT, lease ended on an '05 Equinox, couldn't be happier with the Cobalt. I noticed that the engine runs quite hot in stop and go driving with the A/C off, typically starting at around 87C and then drifting upwards to 98C - 102C. That seemed too hot to me, so I removed that hideous plastic intake plenum cover. I like the look of top of the cam cover with the coil-on-plug ignition as well as the fact that removing the cover lowered my city engine temps by about 5C - 7C, which is not insignificant. I don't hear any louder operating noises in the cabin, so was wondering if there is anything detrimental about removing the cover for the summer. I plan to reinstall it for the winter, as we get -25C to -35C winter temps over several months in Manitoba. Replies to this message: grosloup (Aug 15, 2008 9:22 am)

#2008 of 2171 2009 Cobalt--spare tire and wheel optional! by uplanderguy Aug 06, 2008 (1:34 am)
Just looked at an '09 Cobalt at the dealer. Spare tire and wheel are a $75 option! And we're not talking a full-size spare here, either! Sheesh!

Sheesh!"   But, Uplanderguy, for only another $50 you can get the jack, too! What a deal!   Just kidding about the jack, but that really sucks that you have to pay extra for a spare tire, especially when it is not a full size spare.   Tom
#2010 of 2171 Oil Change Interval by tsjay Aug 13, 2008 (3:17 pm)
I'm sure this comes up in the discussion for just about every make of car and truck, but what do you fellow Cobalt owners do for oil change interval?   I now have 3000 miles on my Cobalt, and the DIC says that I have only expended 25% of my oil life. This would mean that I could go to 12,000 miles before changing the oil. No way I would wait that long. What do you guys do???   I plan on going with Mobil 1 when I do change the oil, and I guess I would be willing to go 10,000 between changes, but no more than that.   I would like to hear from others in here on this subject.   Tom Replies to this message: grosloup (Aug 15, 2008 9:11 am)
