problem #3

Feb 032009

Cobalt LS 2.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 51,000 miles

When I slow down, the steering column shakes and vibrates. It also makes a pretty loud rattling noise. At first the mechanics told me it was because there was mud in my wheels, so it was throwing off the balance, or that it was because a rim was bent. Even after all of these issues were taken care of, it still does these things. When I go over bumps, its extremely loud, and going down dirt roads, I cant hear myself think. Not a good time.

Cobalt ES 2.2L

  • 17,662 miles

This is the third time i took my car back to the dealer for the same problem. The last two times they found something and said it is under warranty and fixed it, but now this time they are saying i may have bent my wheels. They never looked at my wheels to actually say that is the problem. Basically they wouldnt even check because its not covered under my warranty because it is my fault.

problem #1

(reported on)

Cobalt LS 2.2

  • Manual transmission
  • 17,900 miles

Steering shakes from left to right under certain road conditions. The tires were rotated and balanced. It does not do this all the time. It will drive smoothly at 65 or 70 m.p.h.. The shaking of the steering wheel seems to occur after making turns and changes in road tilt to the left or right. The steering will feel stiff when correcting from left to right. The dealer say he cannot duplicate problem.
