The car has a factory windshield which is blurry when you look through it. It is like looking through an orange peel. The images are distorted, not sharp or clear.

First got a very small crack in windshield and next day splintered all way across, still have not replaced first chevy I've owned that windows are crap. Speakers have not worked in front ever and only come on and work randomly now and than. Now brake fluid light constantly coming on even after a day I put fluid in. This is officially worst car I've owned out of all chevrolets had!!!! Basically all service to it costs as much as car!

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) the sun roof on my 2006 chevrolet cobalt which I purchased new failed and had to be replaced. I live in new england and because of the weather we have it does not get opened very often in fact if I have opened it two dozen times in the 37 months that I have owned it I feel I am over stating the fact. The car only had 42,732 miles on it when it failed and I feel it never should have needed to be replaced it cost me 685.15 to replace it and even though that I contacted the chevrolet customer care center they did not offer to give me any relief in the price. The only reason that I replaced it was because it would not close. If it failed in the closed position I would not have cared because I did not order the car with a sun roof it came as an option with the car that was available on the lot. In the time that I owned the car (which I still own) I had to bring it back to the dealer for adjustment. The reason I am contacting you is to see if there is anything you could do to help me out.

Whenever the rear windows are rolled down the wind rushes in causing an extremely loud and irritating noise. It has happened every time I have rolled down the rear windows since purchasing this vehicle. It only occurs when one rear window is down, if both rear windows are down I does not occur.
