2006 Chevrolet Cobalt LT review from North America
"OK, but won't buy another"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Repaired front right bushing (under warranty) in Oct 08 because of loose rattling noise from front wheels.
Repaired front right bushing (not under warranty - $165) on March 09 because of loose rattling noise from front wheels. Last repair lasted 5 months. Dealer would not consider that a repair should last longer than 5 months
Steering column replaced (under warranty).
General comments?
Average car, but seems to have repeated "loose rattle" issues (check out a google search for cobalt loose rattles on the net) that are being ignored by GM.
