I too have a 2007 Cobalt LS 4 dr sedan and at around 14,000mi had a banging in front end..they replaced the bushings..now at 16,000mi the same noise back again. I took it to a dealer closer to home to have it checked. Well, there explanation was according to them i hit the curb and dented the radiator(cost 600.to fix they say), and the mount was what i heard and theyd tightn it up. Afriend looked at it and the radiator hadn't had any repair on it and he put it back in mounts. Also, he said i didn't hit anything as the spoiler is lower to the ground than the radiator and had no marks on it and wasn't broken(the spoiler). He said the indentation on the radiator was made by a floor jack. I went back to the dealer they say no way did they do that. (Radiator doesn't leak), but tried to have them fix what they done but no go as i have no proof. The car has only been to the original dealer and the 2nd one. Anything or anyone that i can complain to about this to have it fixed? Is this covered on warranty or no?

Don't feel bad. My car was doing the same thing and now it also brakes by itself. Be careful.

My car started out that way. At first it was basically breaking on its on. Took it to the dealership and they couldn't find the problem. Just recently my car braked completly by itself causing me to run into the curb and now I have a several repairs that need to get done. Good luck!!! I have been fighting this for about a year. Now I think that it is time to take action. I just needed to make sure that I wasn't the only one that all of this was happening to. Of course they try to make you feel like your crazy and it is only your car.lol
