2006 Chevrolet Cobalt LS review from North America
"Sucks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
About 5 month ago started hearing a loud thumping noise in the front end, and when we would go over a bump, it sounded like the whole car was bottoming out. Finally was able to get into the garage and have it looked at. The repair guy said it was the lower control arms and that it would cost about $600.00 to replace. We went ahead and did it. When I went to pick up my car, the repair guy showed me the lower control arms and one of the bushings fell completely out when he removed it from the car, and the other one was about ready to fall out. He told me that I was lucky because if it would have happened while driving on the highway, I could have really been in big trouble.
The air conditioner is now starting to make a funny sound.
Had the same key problem as everyone else has had.
General comments?
This car sucks, and I would not buy another one if it was the last one on Earth.
