My daughter's finger was cut when the chrome plating on the driver's inside door handle started flaking off and became extremely sharp.
I have had to replace my fuel injector, my ignition switch, and now my steering has gone out. All where while driving and warning light comes on. I keep my car well maintained, recently got a mileage service done. I have seen many post on these issues. What is being done about recalls.
2006 chevy cobalt recall notice on roof air bags customer states that dealership has yet allowed her to get her car fixed**cc the dealer informed the consumer the part had not arrived. The consumer received the recall notice in march 2007.
I purchased a 2006 cobalt ls level 2 used in october of 06. Shortly after the purchase my car started a moderate tone whistling and my heater started making a clicking noise which both are very annoying. I have brought my car to the dealership whalen chevrolet in greenwich ny many many times and all they ever say is the noises are normal there's nothing they can do about it. Shortly after those problems came about my wipers stopped working in a storm for no apparent reason,when I brought the car to the dealership for this problem they blamed it on me saying I was mis-using my wipers ,apparently your not supposed to use them. Within days of that problem my car started to bump when I'd touch the brakes, once again I brought the car to the dealership and what do you know the dealership said it was my fault and the brake rotors needed to be planed down. Still to this day the car is whistling the entire time it runs and the heater is clicking away like always,it is apparent to me that this is no replacement for the lack luster cavalier,it is the cavalier it's just prettied up a bit. To this point the shabby engineering of this car has cost me well over $500 in repairs & diagnosing to try and solve a problem the gm certified mechanics at whalen chevrolet in greenwich ny can't seem to figure out---oops I mean it's supposed to sound like it's falling apart.
I was at a red light, the light turned green I started to go and the person in front of me in a pt cruiser stopped short and I hit him in the rear causing so much damage to my front end. How on earth can they give this car even 1 star for front end collisions, if I was going any faster I would have been killed! The entire bumper, hood, the structure that holds the bumper is ruined and my compressor to the air conditioning as well, this was all at the speed of approx 2 to 4 miles per hour! The airbags never deployed either, showing that this was not a heavy impact, however this car just crumpled and I am worried for my saftey driving in my car. I go to college and then to work and I am scared that if someone were to hit me I don't even have a chance in this car that claims to have good impact results. There was no damage to the other car and I was the one that was injured, my back and both knees. I would like more information on this car and the results from minor fender benders as they call it to see if maybe there is something wrong with the structure of just my car, or all the 2006 cobalt 4 door sedans.

Today, after a hard rain, the sunroof leaked again... Soaking the headliner from the sunroof forward, again.
After a pretty good rain during the day on october 27th, my fiancee and I got in my car and noticed the headliner was sagging. Upon touching it, I found it was soaked from the front of the sunroof, all the way forward. I did some research online and found this to be extremely common in cobalts. I'm taking it to the dealer today in hopes of repair.
Dt*: the contact stated unless the automatic on sensor determines it necessary the dash lights fail to illuminate. There is no switch allowing the contact to turn on the dash lights. On page 3-14 of the owner's manual it states the dash lights are suppose to illuminate when the lights are turned on. According to title 49 of the u. S. Code part 571.101, paragraphs s5.3.3 and s5.3.1 updated 03/15/05
