Without being to negative, how was the Cobalt in winter driving. I can see that you have 20,000 kms and not milles and you had problems with your rear defogger so I guess your from Canada. Snow country right.
I'm very sorry to hear that you dislike or hate your Cobalt because everyone I know had problems but they got fixed and now they love their Cobalt. Good thing it's still on warranty.

Well then, leave your son at home if you don't feel save with him in the car and go alone, he can't be that bad at 3 yrs. old.

Then their is only one thing you can do if you can. Get rid of the car before it's to late then you and your family will be safer with something else.
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!

hi
i do have to admit that the car did pretty good in the winter months, we had no problems in the snow, but the stock tires aren't the best in the rain for traction. 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.

Is your Cobalt a sedan or coupe? In your part of the country is there any snow in wintertime? if so... How did it handled in the snow?

This is my 8th new car in my life and it's by far the best quality out the door of any of them. I've owned the car for just about a year and drive the hell out of it and havn't had 1 reason to return to the dealer other than for oil changes. I currently have over 19,000 miles on the car. Lets keep in mind as well that this is one of the cheapest cars on the market today.
 
You can get a problem item in anything you buy today, but it doesn't mean they all have that issue. I had bought a Sony plasma tv and a few nights later the power switch failed and had to be replaced. That doesn't mean every tv is bad, same with cars.
 
Cobalt is a hit in my family and would recommend it highly.

I have the 05 Cobalt Coup LS Fully loaded, with a sweet system that I didn't have to even think about any after market kickers, and it came with an amp in the trunk.
 
This is my first car, and I have to say that I love it. I only had a tiny issue with the sun roof button before I bought it and the sun roof cover being stuck. But they fixed it before I drove it off the lot after I bought it.
 
It drives great, handels wonderfully. When I was car shopping I test drove a new Lexus IS300, and I still liked the way the Cobalt handeled. (Though of course I was still trying to justifiy spending the extra money for the lexus.)
 
I still would have bought the Cobalt. It has 20 miles on it when I bought it last year August, and now has 7k miles. The only thing that I have had to do was get the oil changed and regular maintaince.
 
Now if I can only calm down my driving so I can enjoy the wonderfull gas mileage this car has. (The woes of a lead foot)
 
Not to mention I have gotten loads of compliments on my cute little red Cobalt.
