2005 Chevrolet Cobalt visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
2005 cobalt has a defective ignition switch which creates hazardous driving conditions. *ts the vehicle was taken to the dealer. All they did was remove an extra key ring from the key chain and advised the owner to watch his knee position while driving. The dealer knows of the problem but doesn't know what to do to fix it. The driver's side power window stooped working due to a faulty window motor.
Car purchased 2/21/05. Windshield fluid not in the car. Driving on highway mud was splash on window tried to wash it off, no fluid, mud smeared on window had to pull over on the highway to manually wipe off-2/05. Horn not working or was never put in, had to wait 3 days for replacement-3/05. Brake light coming on whether car is in motion or not. First reported 3/05 then again in 4/05. Told that the fuse may be going out. Still does this as of 9/05. Radio/cd player locks if you start the car an immediately adjust the volume have to restart car to unlock- 5/05. Back lighting for console does not come on all the time while in automatic mode. Unable to see speed if driving through a tunnel not well lit. Driver side tire making squeaky noises and grinding sound when parking in reverse. First reported 5/05 told may be brake dust still doing this as of 9/05. Appt pending. Headlight blew out 9/05. Back window passenger side not sealed properly you can hear and feel the wind coming in while on the highway its a pain. All of these thing were reported to dealer and general motors on survey.
I purchased the vehicle new and there has been problems with the fuel gauge not registering full when it is filled up. Sometimes it goes to the 7/8 mark and sometimes it doesn't even go to there. They told me that it was a programming problem , and there should be an update for the computer. I took it in for the update and apparently it was not fixed. Also, the fan motor on the vent controls only works on high. I have had the car in to the dealer twice for this issue.
