#21 of 107 aftermarket products by karrie08 Oct 29, 2007 (5:47 pm)
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.

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.

Replying to: kmpa08 (Nov 27, 2007 5:00 pm) I have the same stalling problem. It's happened 4 times...most recently at night in the rain on a 2-lane highway. The car suddenly stalls. I try to start it in neutral but the starter does not engage (headlights go off and everything else that's supposed to happen when you start happens...except no starter). Once off the road and stopped I put in in park...still won't start. If I turn it off and back on it starts and most times there are no problems. Once it ran rough and the most recent time it shifted rough.   Also...at times when I start it the windshield wipers turn on by themselves and run for a while before stopping. I can move the wiper switch but nothing happens.   Been to the dealer 3 times for all of these. Of course, it's never duplicated so they send me away.   Other than that it's a great car....much better than the Cavalier it replaced. Looks nicer, more power, better gas mileage.
#30 of 107 I wanted to ask you pvanhouse by kmpa08 Nov 29, 2007 (6:23 pm)
What year is your Cobalt? How many miles does it have on it? Tell me if you call and what response you get from GM. It is so frustrating, maybe if enough call (thats a big IF) GM will take notice. Replies to this message: pvanhouse (Nov 25, 2008 6:15 pm)
