I think that GM is shooting themselves in the foot. I wouldn't consider a compact 4 door because frankly they look like econoboxes. I rented two 4 door Cobalts on trips and they felt cramped. Small doors, small windows, etc. I have a Victory Red 09 LT1 coupe and will probably keep it for years since I only put about 6,000 miles a year on it. At least it looks sporty. If I were going to buy a 4 door smaller GM car the Malibu would be my first choice..If GM doesn't build a sporty compact coupe lots of other people do and that's where I'll head.

I am about to purchase a Cobalt. I always buy snow tires and put them on their own rims. Are there any aftermarket bargains to be had to buy rims and tire pressure sensors? thanks

Radio Problems by bporter1
Aug 07, 2009 (8:31 pm)

For the last few days when I get in my car in the morning or the afternoon, the radio automatically will start flipping through a couple of stations on its own. For example; if I am listening to XM 8 it will go to XM 7 or 6. It does te same thing in CD mode too. The tracks start changing and so on. It seems to happen when I touch the volume control, and or go over a bump. I drove over to the dealership this afternoon, but by the time I got there it had stopped. Very hard to duplicate. Of course dealer says "well come in when it is doing it". This is not the first time for this problem, and I am afraid that after the warranty runs out I will be stuck with a bad radio. Any suggestions would be helpful. My car is a 2007 Cobalt LTZ with the CD changer.

And you DO NOT want to have a problem with a GM radio outside of warranty. There is no repair. GM just replaces the radio at $300 plus. There are some companies that repair GM radios but they are hard to find outside of very large cities or require you to mail in the radio. In the past GM (Delco) wouldn't sell repair parts. I had a '97 LeSabre with a bad tape drive. This is a unit which simply unplugs from the main radio but it wasn't for sale anywhere. I ended up buying a used Olds radio that was identical. The car radio shop got them from salvage yards. If you have the least problem with your radio while the car is under warranty make a big fuss until the radio is replaced. Do not give up. Take the car in until the people are sick of looking at you. This goes for all GM cars unless something has changed.

2nd Steering Column by dispencer2

Going in tomorrow for my second steering column in 6,000 miles on the 09 Cobalt coupe.. If something rattles up front when you are on a washboard surface you might as well take it in. Something to do with the electric steering. Has anyone else had this problem? It seems to be common out here in New Mexico.

I will be dropping my car off this week overnight at my local dealership to see if they can duplicate the radio problem. I told them it seems to happen in the morning when it is a little cold, and sometimes it happens when it gets hot. My warranty runs out very soon. I really hope that tey can find the problem. To me it seems like a loose connection in a jack plug or something. Anyway I will keep everyone posted.

Radio Problem Update by bporter1

Left the car at the dealership, but of course they could not duplicate the problem. The service advisor I did talk to said "that they will order me a new radio anyway". So far the old radio is working fine. I will keep the updates coming.
