My stepbrother had two chevy cobalts. The first one he wrecked on a country road where he skidded on gravel, his car burst into flames. Fortunately, he was able to get out of the car. He replaced it with another cobalt. In january 2009 he had another wreck, single car. His car hit a pole and immediately broke out in flames. Unfortunately for my family he was not able to get out, he couldn't get his seat belt undone and the flames were melting the interior causing caustic flames. The policeman broke out the back window to get him out and the policeman was hospitalized from smoke inhalation my brother didn't make it, he died. I believe this should be checked out. I wrote to chevrolet with no response.

I am the not so proud owner of a 2007 chevy cobalt. I have less than 30,000 miles on the vehicle and have already had the head gasket replaced. Upon doing some research to see if this was a common problem, I found that the power steering failure issue is huge!!!! I have not had the problem myself, but know a couple of people who have and as I'm sure you are aware, there are hundreds and hundreds of people who have. Some have gotten into accidents, others were extremely lucky. What will it take to get chevy to announce a recall? Will it take the ultimate sacrifice? How many people will have to die to have this taken care of. Driving the chevy cobalt is like driving a time bomb......just waiting for anything to freeze up and make driving a nightmare. Please get with chevy and issue a recall. I really hope something gets down about this issue and soon. There are many, many new, inexperienced drivers behind the wheel of this car. Let's save those young lives, as well as everyone else who drives this dangerous vehicle.
My 2007 chevrolet cobalt power steering just die. Is there some kind of recall for this car? I was driving on a curved road when the power steering signal came on and I had to slow down too fast to control the car. I could had been rear ended...
Driving down the road with my 2 year old daughter in the car, and all of a sudden the power steering on my 2007 chevy cobalt ls went out. Almost caused a pile up as it was on a busy, main road. It was working okay if you turn the car off then on, but now it's stalling every minute or two. I have read this is an ongoing problem with the chevy cobalt. I don't understand, will it take lives being lost for this problem to be taken seriously? I am taking it to the dealer tomorrow and since it's under warranty I am assuming they will replace what needs to be replaced, but as I have read in other's complaints that isn't any guarantee that it will stay fixed.
Power steering indicator light came on while I was out and about running errands (at least 3 times). Fortunately, I was able to pull over, stop and start again. It would run fine for a short while and the light would come on again. I also experienced a great deal of trouble 7/17/09 with the key getting stuck in the ignition and it not turning. I have recently spent $1,600 plus to repair/replace the cylinder head gasket.
Knocking noise from rear of vehicle from cold start. Has occurred numerous times.
