Cobalt

  • 32,200 miles
Please have a safety investigation on this. I just came home from work and parked my car on the driveway. I noticed that when I tried to get out of the car, the door won't open.. I tried to open it from the inside and outside handle but the door still won't open...I was wondering how this could have happen when my car has never been into an accident and it was on the low 32K miles. I've done some researching online and found that a lot of people are experiencing the same problem with their Cobalt from model 2005 and up. This should really be a major safety concern! anyone could get into an accident while driving this defective car and couldn't get out because at any given time the driver side door would fail.. please investigate....

Cobalt

  • 42,400 miles
I have a 2006 chevorlet Cobalt and I purchased it with 18 miles on it and on 23july2009 I find myself not able to exit the car from the driver door keep in mind its only a 2door car and I have kids I am being told by the car dealership that I need a new door I have never been in an accident so I don't think I should have to pay for the car to be repaired I am having to pay for a rental car and I just don't feel that it is right this should be a safety hazard.
