i own a 2006 cobalt, from the day i bought it i have had noting but problems and now 8 months later i am haveing even more problems. 1, my car was in a small accident coming of the delivery truck and i wasn't told about it until the paper work went through. 2, we were going around a narrow winedy lake road when all of a sudden for now reason and with no warning my car just shut off, i was told it was a safety feature (really safe lol), 3, my window regulator broke in the winter and was replaced, and is now broken again. 4, my defrost takes about and hour to defrost my windows, and i am told by gm that this is normal. 5, all of my mirrors wont stay in place. 6, the thradal body is now having problems. 7, and just now today it is telling me to service my airbags and the are bags have deactivated them selves. And with all these problems the dealer ship is telling me i got a good deal and a good car. I WARN ANYONE WHO IS INTRESTED IN BUYING A COBALT TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER SOMETHING ELSE, I WOULDN'T WISH THIS ON MY WORST ENEMY. |

My defroster is fast. A buddy of mine and myself both bought loaded new 2006 cobalts SS models. After about 9000 miles each, we've had Zero problems. It is for me a delight to own and drive.

| sales are up for June, lets hope more owners are like djbalt. I am really sorry that your cobalt is having problems, but it sounds like the dealer is behind most of them. Meybe you should get a lawyer? | |

Replying to: cobalt_bc_ (Jul 08, 2006 9:36 pm) There are some lemons in every car family and I guess you got one. Sorry about my wisecrack, I knew all the time you were talking about your car and not your son. He must be adorable but I'm the kind of person that's alway's joking. No hard feelings. I don't blame you and I agree with you, riding with your love ones in a car that is not very safe that's not good at all. You seem to be a caring and loving person for your family, don't stop. I hope everything's gonna turn up O.K. for you. Good Luck! How about winter driving with the Cobalt? I was thinking of buying one for my daughter but now I'm not to sure about it cause I'm taking your word for it. Thanks!

And i would recomend getting a sun roof because it sure gets hot in the summer without one.

| Just wanted to post that I have a 2005 Cobalt with NO options and have put 21,000 miles on the car. We have had NO problems whatsoever and average 35 mpg on the highway arount 30 mpg combined. Mechanically, I have had NO work done on the car except oil changes each 3K and new tires at 20K. I could not be happier with the performance and reliability of this car. I am in no way related to GM or anyone that works for GM by the way. | |
