Ever drive over a bump or small stone with those wheel covers on your Cobalt? Doesn't take long before these cheap plastic bolt on's start to rattle like a train rolling through town. This may not be as bad as other problems I, or you, may have had but it certainly should have been an indicator of what was to come. When people recognize your car pulling in by the sound of the shaking plastic then it is time to consider hitting up a wheel shop and installing some alloy wheels. A set of Borbet set me back $400 but now the shake and rattle is gone and I can quietly sneak in my driveway at night. It really blows my mind how GM can manufacture such inferior parts then attempt to beg your pardon and ask for money from the Government. Get real... It is no accident that GM, excuse me, Motors Liquadation (MTLQQ.PK), is trading for under a buck these days. Yes that is GM's new stock symbol and yes it is on the pink sheets. Poorly managed company manufacturing poorly made cars with corners cut in every direction. Next time I will not be so stupid when I buy a car.
