Cobalt 4-cyl

  • 42,734 miles
Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) the sun roof on my 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt which I purchased new failed and had to be replaced. I live in new england and because of the weather we have it does not get opened very often in fact if I have opened it two dozen times in the 37 months that I have owned it I feel I am over stating the fact. The car only had 42,732 miles on it when it failed and I feel it never should have needed to be replaced it cost me $685.15 to replace it and even though that I contacted the Chevrolet customer care center they did not offer to give me any relief in the price. The only reason that I replaced it was because it would not close. If it failed in the closed position I would not have cared because I did not order the car with a sun roof it came as an option with the car that was available on the lot. In the time that I owned the car (which I still own) I had to bring it back to the dealer for adjustment. The reason I am contacting you is to see if there is anything you could do to help me out.

My husband and I have used the sun roof a total of 7 times include yesterday. We bought the 2006 Chevy Cobalt in 1/2006. Yesterday I opened the sun roof and then when I went to close it, the back rt side will not close all the way. I found two small plastic pieces in the track. I will be taking it to the dealership tomorrow (Monday) for them to fix it. I am assuming that this will be covered under warranty. I checked your web site to see if there was a recall on this but did not find one. The sunroof is electrical.
