#17 of 107 Re: Only one with Elecitrical issues???? [ryanm1] by cav_rider666 Aug 12, 2007 (11:54 am)
Replying to: ryanm1 (Jul 17, 2007 10:01 am) The Cobalt has a 3 year/60 000km warranty that is fully transferable to the new owner so the car should still be covered under warrant if it's under. I would talk to GM consumer affairs to see if this is the case in the U.S as well. As far as the Chilton and Haynes manuals go there is unfortunately no manual for this car as of yet. I have a 2005 Cobalt LS as well and the only option is the GM service manual (about 150$ but worth the investment). Replies to this message: poncho167 (Aug 13, 2007 4:42 am)

Replying to: cav_rider666 (Aug 12, 2007 11:54 am) I suspect that they have exceeded the warranty mileage. In the US the warranty for 2005 Cobalts was 3-year 36,000 bumper to bumper, 5-year 60,000 powertrain. Now for 2007 it is 5-year 100,000 powertrain, but I believe still 3-36,000 bumper to bumper.

#20 of 107 cobalt:power door locks and security system by aase1991 Oct 28, 2007 (6:12 pm)
I have a 2005 cobalt. The power door locks inside the car stopped working, but the remote door lock will lock the doors but won't unlock them. Also the security system activates whe I open any door to get in(lights flashing, horn blowing, etc). The security system problem didn't start until the power door locks quit working which makes me believe that the two issues ar related. I checked the fuse for the door locks and it appeared fine. I also disconnected the battery to try to reset the ECM. Any suggestions? Replies to this message: scottevil0106 (Dec 05, 2007 12:17 am)

Has anyone have any problems or know of any problems with aftermarket power windows & door locks? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 30, 2007 7:04 am) karrie08 (Oct 31, 2007 6:32 pm)

Replying to: karrie08 (Oct 29, 2007 5:47 pm) I've installed aftermarket door locks on two cars (from Best Buy, I think made by Viper) and they were reliable but perhaps a little bit slower than factory systems. Cheap to install, too. About 250 less than the dealer option for keyless remote.   No experience with aftermarket power windows except on Classic cars. Those seem to work fine but are pretty pricey and kind of a bitch to install. Replies to this message: karrie08 (Oct 31, 2007 6:32 pm)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 30, 2007 7:04 am) Yea. If I get them, I was going to have a shop install them (if my friends don't think they can do just as good) but its almost $1k or $2k, I can't remember. Priceyy. I just want to make sure that I can prevent anything from wrong.
#24 of 107 Re: Electrical issues, Stalling [jrector74] by kmpa08 Nov 27, 2007 (5:00 pm)
Replying to: jrector74 (Jul 03, 2007 9:34 pm) YES, jrector74 I have a 2006 Cobalt with 24,000 miles and it does the same thing as jrector74 2005 Cobalt does we are just driving it then stalls out and we put it in neutral and it starts up, but sometimes it stalls again and again then finally it runs and no problem. I thought it was water in the gas so we put dry gas in it. It just did it to me 4x going 1 block. Then another time going 55 mph, and another time in a parking lot 3x it stalled and started back up. I am taking it in to the dealer tomorrow, but they told me when I made the appointment it would have to do it for them. It has done it on only 3 occasions and I have owned it over a year. Has anyones dealer found the solution to this problem yet? Thanks Replies to this message: pvanhouse (Nov 28, 2007 11:57 am)
#25 of 107 key stuck in ignition by mathenajm Nov 27, 2007 (6:03 pm)
My sister has a 2006 cobalt and has the key stuck in the ignition. The car manual states a low battery will cause the shifter button to lock, causing the key to stay in the ignition. The battery is low but she has no idea why since the car only has 15,000 miles on it. She made an appointment with the dealer for today but when she went to start it this morning it was dead. The dealership had it towed but insisted it should not be jumped or charged however the tow driver jumped it anyway. The dealership acted like this would destroy the car. My sister is awaiting further news on her car, so far they can not get it started and act like this is something new. I hope they can fix this because she really loves the car. I hope it's not a lemon. Replies to this message: cmhj2000 (Nov 28, 2007 4:28 am)

Replying to: mathenajm (Nov 27, 2007 6:03 pm) Keys being stuck in the ignition switch has been an issue on the 05s & 06, not aware of it being anything on 07s yet.   Have found with many cars that having excessive junk on the key chain has contributed to the issue.
