2007 Chevrolet Cobalt LS review from North America
"Entirely too many problems for a car this new!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First, and perhaps most insignificantly, everything falls off of this car. The compartment on the left side of the steering wheel broke on the way home after regularly opening it (I'm pretty sure the dealer knew it was broken and temporarily fixed it.
My driver's side mirror (manual) will no longer move via toggle, and I have to roll my window down constantly to try and push the mirror out so that I can see at all. This is really inconvenient on the expressway!
My driver's side door has an air leak in it which causes the whole left side of your body to get a chill.
The car just rattles. It sounds like parts are jostling around. It's not comforting.
The car rolls back when I'm at a stop sign on a hill, although I am always in drive. If I don't IMMEDIATELY slam on my brakes (and even once I do hit the brakes, it still takes a second to stop rolling), I will hit anyone that is behind me.
General comments?
Overall, I feel like entirely too much has gone wrong with a car that was $10,000. There's no reason to have this many problems with a car that I've only had for 6 months.
