problem #2

Cobalt LT

  • Automatic transmission
  • 70,000 miles

It seems like I constantly need to get my control arm bushings fixed! So annoying. Needed them fixed shortly after I purchased my car 3.5 years ago and now need another one fixed.

problem #1

Cobalt LT 2.2L Ecotec

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60,566 miles

I like GM cars but i am having severe reservations and will not check car complaints on cars with low to zero problems. I understand cars have issues but at 60000 miles my sway bar was going which causes issues with driver momentum with sharp lane changes. The bushings on my cobalt also could cause problems with steering.

I only brought my car in for a brake check and come spending over $400.00 dollars Come to find out after 3.5 years that my brakes are ok just need adjustments. Maybe it was a blessing to bring the car or I probably would been in accident since I do alot of highway driving.

My take is that I understand I have alot of miles on my car but this is ridiculous to have these sorts of problems. I like American cars but you will loose customers if these problems continue to arise.
