problem #3

Jul 162009

Cobalt LS 2.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65,000 miles

This car is total s**t !! GM should consider the repercussions if any deaths occur do to the cars stalling. My car stalls several times a day every day. The key gets stuck in the ignition, the gear shift moves whether the car is running or not and the ball joints wear unusually fast. I have been researching this problem on many sites and there are tons of owners with the same problems. Step up to the plate GM and help us out.

Cobalt LT 2.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 48,500 miles

Most of my complaints have been an ongoing problem. I had a 2006 Colbalt that one time stalled while driving and the car kept moving. That is not supposed to happen. It's supposed to stop almost immediately with it being an automatic and still in gear.
