The battery was loosely plugged in. This caused my car to not start.
The key gets stuck in the ignition, the car cannot get turned off properly, and the key won't come out. You have to play around with the shifter and the brakes for it to work.
The driver's door wouldn't open or close from the inside or out.
There is no signal on the dashboard to let me know when I am out of windshield washer liquid.
The paint inside the car, on the panel chips off and gets scratched off very easily.
I have only had this car for 10 months, it is ridiculous that all these problems occur, especially since I am very careful with my car. The dealership wouldn't fix the problem with the ignition because they didn't know what was wrong.
I will NEVER again buy a Chevrolet.
"I will NEVER again buy a Chevrolet."
- In the near future, there may not be a GM to buy a chevrolet from!
The Chevrolet Cobalt should have never been made. It tells you one thing about Chevrolet, not meant to make "import wannabees". If you want something that has the import look, buy an import. Any import on the market will last much longer than any domestic car, and parts are much easier to find for an import. Sorry to hear that your stuck in it...
What are you nuts? import parts are cheaper? that's just false.
All cars have problems.
You should have noticed these things during the test drive or inspection.
No indicator to tell you when the washer fluid is low?
That's hardly something 'wrong' with the car. How about, keep a jug in the trunk, and when the fluid runs dry, top 'er up.
This review is just ridiculous! First of all the person complains mostly about cosmetic problems, while half the time most people don't give a S**T! Give a better review on how the vehicle runs and drives! not little minor inconveniences that's most people can get by in life with. and second of all whats up with your problem about no windshield washer fluid warnings? Come on get real now what ever happened to opening up the hood to check all VITAL FLUIDS??? I think people are too spoiled nowadays with all these luxary items. I'm glad your Cobalt dosen't have that feature! Get up off your lazy behind and do what normal people do! It makes me so mad that's people have nothing else better to say so they rag on the little things while the bigger things probably are better operating.
The key getting stuck in the ignition is a problem I had also. The dealer replaced a micro-chip in the shifter that was failing to tell the ignition switch the car was in park and to release the key. I am not happy that this happened when the car is only a year old. It is a 2005 sedan. The service manager said this is problem with many Cobalt's. I think they should do a recall on this because once the shifter fails, you are stuck where you are with the key not able to come out. Then your battery will drain after a few hours and well you could be looking at a wrecker charge also.
Not good P.R. for G.M. who is in trouble anyway...
