I have had a series of problems with my 2007 Chevy Cobalt in the last 4 months. First in November of 2009 my wheels were too bent up and needed to be replaced. Then in December 2009 my clutch burned out after only 47,000 miles. Everyone I ever spoke to never heard of a clutch burning out so soon. I was on the highway going 65mph when no more power was being supplied to the vehicle after pressing down on the gas. I rolled into a nearby gas station and had the car towed to the dealership and the diagnostic confirmed my suspicion. I had it replaced two weeks later when I had the money. Now its February and my parking brake will not engage. The car was bought brand new in 2007 and had regular maintenance done on the car, ie brakes, oil, filters. I could have been injured and I fear driving the car thinking something else will break down. No warning signs of any of these problems were noticeable.

Clutch failure, theres a mechanism that does not allow you to spin the wheels into 3rd gear on the 2007 Chevy Cobalt ss. This mechanism has caused my girlfriends clutch to be burned up over a one month period. The vechicles clutch no longer fully disengages and will not allow the car to move. The part(s) have not been established yet because it is currently in the shop as of 3 P.M. today. If you would like more information on this please contact me through either my email or phone number, or even reedman of langhorne.
