I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY 06 COBALT BACK IN EARLY 07 IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THE 7 TIMES I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR STEERING CONCERNS. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE HARD STEERING PROBLEM OR PRODUCE COMPUTER PROBLEM. I WAS VERY ADAMANT ABOUT THIS AND ALSO GOT NEW TIRES THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. IT WAS NOT ! I WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING, AND WAS LEARY TO DRIVE MY CAR (A GIFT FROM MY MOM) BUT HAD NOTHING ELSE TO DRIVE. IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR ON THE 30TH I WAS COMING FROM A FRIENDS HOME AND WAS ON A SIDE ROAD I SLOWED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO GO RIGHT, IT WAS VERY HARD TO TURN, AND I WENT THROUGH THE LIGHT AND HIT A TREE HEAD ON AND THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS TOLD LATER I MISSED THE SENSOR. THE CAR WAS TOTALED AND G.M. WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. I WAS TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH THE CAR SAT FOR 2 MONTHS WITH A DEAD BATTERY THE COMPUTER DOES NOT LOOSE DATA. (G.M.) I KNOW OF SEVERAL COBALT OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE POWER ASSIST REPLACED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION AND IT STILL WENT OUT. THE MECHANICS (A.S.E.)CERTIFIED INFORMED ME IT IS NOT THE POWER ASSIST IT IS IN THE STEERING COLUMN, AND SHOULD BE REPLACED, BUT G.M. WON'T DO THAT IT WOULD COST TOO MUCH MONEY. IT IS NICE TO KNOW THAT G.M. WOULD RATHER SACRIFICE THE CONSUMER RATHER THAN TAKE CARE OF THEM. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THE COMPUTER HAS A HISTORY OF NOT RECORDING PROPERLY WHEN THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE REST OF US WHO HAVE HAD A CRASH WITH AND WITHOUT AIR BAGS NEED SOME KIND OF SOLUTION. G.M. IS SWEEPING THIS UNDER THE RUG!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. UPDATED PORTABLE 06/22/11

I OWN A 2006 CHEVROLET COBALT. WELL TO BEGIN, I INITIALLY HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY SHIFT COLUMN, WHICH I RESEARCHED AND FOUND OUT IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT WOULD CAUSE MY KEY TO GET STUCK IN THE IGNITION. I TOOK IT TO THE DELEARSHIP AND THEY REPLACE THE WHOLE COLUMN. THEN A A COUPLE OF WEEK LATER, MY VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING REALLY FUN, I JUST BLEW IT OFF FOR A MOMENT, UNTIL I THEN TRIED TO PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE ONE DAY, AND IT WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE. I TOOK IT TO THE DELEARSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING, AT 86,000 MILES. THE DEALEARSHIP HAS MY CAR, AND IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF IT'S EVEN WORTH FIXING. IM ALSO WONDERING IF THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT THE INTIAL TIME THEY FIXED THE VEHICLE, AND FIGURED IT WAS MY SHIFTING COLUMN, BECAUSE EVEN WITH MY TRANSMISSION SLIPPING, IT ALSO AFFECTED THE SHIFTING COLUMN. ONE OTHER PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WITH THE VEHICLE IS THE AIR BAG SENSOR, I HAVE NOT GOT THIS FIXED YET, BECAUSE THE DEALEARSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE $99 JUST TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT'S CAUSING MY AIRBAG SENSOR TO NOT COME ON, WHEN I HAVE PASSENGERS WITH ME.

Official recalls
5Apr 10, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR, 2007-2010 Pontiac G5, 2006-2010 Pontiac Solstice, 2003-2007 Saturn Ion, and 2007-2010 Saturn Sky vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the "Off" position.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the "off" position, the vehicle could roll away: (a) for an automatic transmission, if the transmission is not in the "Park" position; or (b) for a manual transmission, if the parking brake is not engaged and the transmission is not in the "Reverse" position. This potential for rollaway increases the risk for a crash and occupant or pedestrian injuries.
Remedy: General Motors will notify owners, and for vehicles that were built with the defective ignition cylinder and have not previously had the ignition cylinder replaced with the redesigned part, dealers will replace the ignition cylinder and cut and, if necessary, re-learn two ignition/door keys for each vehicle. For vehicles that were built with the redesigned ignition cylinder or had the ignition cylinder replaced with the redesigned part, dealers will cut and, if necessary, re-learn two ignition/door keys for each vehicle. The recall began on April 18, 2014. Chevrolet owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-222-1020, Pontiac owners at 1-800-762-2737, and Saturn owners at 1-800-553-6000. General Motors' number for this recall is 14113 for the ignition lock cylinder and key replacement, and 14133 for only key replacements. Note: Until a vehicle has been remedied, owners and operators are advised that when exiting, to be sure that the vehicle is in "Park," or in the case of a manual transmission, that the vehicle is in the "Reverse" position and the parking brake is engaged.
Feb 10, 2014
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on February 10, 2014 that they are recalling 619,122 model year 2005-2007 Chevrolet Cobalt, and 2007 Pontiac G5 vehicles. On February 25, 2014, GM increased the recall to include an additional 748,024 model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet HHR and Pontiac Solstice vehicles and 2003-2007 Saturn Ion vehicles and 2007 Saturn Sky vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine. On March 27, 2014, GM notified the agency that the defective ignition switches may have been used as service replacement parts on other vehicles, and as a result GM will be recalling certain model year 2008-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, Saturn Sky, and Pontiac G5 and Solstice, and 2008-2011 Chevrolet HHR vehicles. The part numbers for the service parts are 10392423 (a/k/a ACDelco D1461F), 10392737, 15857948, 15854953, 15896640, and 25846762. This expansion represents an additional 823,788 vehicles.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. An interim notification was issued to owners of 2007 and earlier models on March 10, 2014, informing them of the safety defect. Owners of 2008 and later vehicles will be mailed an interim letter on April 21, 2014. All affected owners will receive another letter once parts are available. The recall began on April 18, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, Pontiac at 1-800-762-2737 or Saturn at 1-800-553-6000. GM's number for the initial recall is 13454 and 14063 for the expansion. GMs recall number for the vehicles that may have received the replacement parts is 14092. Note: Until the recall repairs have been performed, it is very important that customers remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the vehicle key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. Always wear your seatbelt.
