2010 Chevrolet Cobalt: doors won't lock, open or latch

Filed Oct 25, 2024 · Body · IL

Internal mechanism of the driver-side door handle broke and the door would not open from the inside. Tne dealership confirmed that the inside door ah glue is broken. The cable retainer snapped apart and the cable cannot stay connected. This might be available for inspection. Driver must exit the vehicle by crawling over to the passenger side. The problem has been confirmed by a Chevrolet dealer. There were no warning lamps or messages. The manufacturer no longer makes this part and it could not be replaced. Service description says that the customer had an electrical concern and that the door would not unlock from the inside. This was inaccurate. It was mechanical. The door could unlock, it could not open. The dealership would not let the diagnosis proceed until the customer agreed to that statement. The dealership inaccurately recorded the mileage.

I got my cobalt in ending 2010-2011 and never received a single recall on my cobalt ,and now a friend told me of this sight there is so many recalls that need to be done on my car and beginning with the transmission ,it runs grate it just doesn't know what gear it is in. Also my door locks unlock by them self its like I have a spirit in the car (very un safe).not to mention when the car was in drive it would slip into neutral on its own, same with if your in reverse it will slip into neutral.

Door handles broke and door could not be opened from the outside or inside. I will save the handle for evidence if you need them

The passenger door would not close. I went to my dealership for the repair. The car was never damaged, as I am the original owner and purchased the vehicle new from that same dealership. Within two weeks after this repair, the driver's door did not close. I returned to the dealership. I am afraid to open the back doors, in case they do not close. Besides the huge amount of stress and fear, I was charged approximately $330.00 for each door. I feel this was a similar occurrence other vehicles have had when there has been a recall.

Drivers side door will not open.

The driver's side door will not open! It appears that the handle is not "attached" to anything. Yet on looking into the incident online there are reports of this happening, and the "solution" is to band your hand on the outside of the door to release it. The first time this worked, however it is only after climbing out of the vehicle from the opposite side to do this. Being someone is in an accident or unable to crawl across the car and out an opposite door, they will most likely perish or become wounded from not being able to exit their car. Fatalaities. Is this what it will take for them to acknowlege there is a problem?? This is a serious matter and needs to be addressed.
