At approximately 48000 miles the wheel bearing hub went out. I thought this was unusual for this many miles. Is posed for the left front driver side.

My girlfriend and I were driving down the interstate early one morning. There was no rain or bad road conditions and prays god hardly any traffic at all. One minute everything was fine and within a split second there was a loud thud below our feet. My girlfriend lost control of the vehicle and we were thrown across the middle of the interstate and slammed into the guard cables which at that point in time the air bags deployed. The guard cables catapulted us back across the interstate were we was finally able to get the car stopped. The first question out of the Arkansas state troopers and the local county officers mouths to us was, "what happened to your whole driver side wheel"". the trooper went on to explain that this was obviously not a "blowout" due to the fact there was absolutely no trash on the road or off the road the road they would be consistent with a blow out. That's when we told him the car had been taken to the Chevrolet dealership were the car was purchased not 9 days prior to the accident and the wheels and tires and been rotated, the oil changed and an inspection completed on the car and they tried to say everything checked out ok. Well now just as a passenger I have 2 fractured vertebrae in my back, cant sleep, had to quit school and I have no idea of which way to turn to get the help I need. Friends please be careful driving these cars. Please. I feel like this is a Chevrolet malfunction or defective part. Now what do I do"

I had notice trouble not too long after I purchased the car in Jan 2012 due the cars shimmy. I noticed the tires going low & thought that was it. Then kept noticing the tread wearing away more quickly that it should have been because the tires looked pretty new when car was purchased. It wasn't until my father told me I better get new tires because the treads were about shot & the tires were bulging. I took it to a very reputable tire business where the mechanic told me there was no way he could put tires back on the rims as 3 of them were bent to hell. This is why the tires were wearing quickly. He said he had been in business for 30 years & you don't normally see 3 rims bent up like that & they had to be defective & I should go back to where I bought the car. I had to have my vehicle towed from pa to oh where I live!!. I made an appt with the service dept at the dealership where I bought the vehicle & the manager stated he cannot help me since it was out of warranty!!! didn't even look at it!! I cannot afford to buy 3 new rims & tires!!! you cannot find used one as I'm sure they are all shot to hell too!!! I have researched the internet & am finding there have been rim bending problems for years on the Chevy Cobalt!!! this is a huge safety hazard & could cause a accident!! I don't understand why they are still putting these cheap bendable rims on these cars!!! something needs to be done!!!! I bought a newer car because I didn't want to have to be dumping money into it all the time!! I bought a $2000 extended warranty that doesn't cover my problem either!!! all 3 of these tires look like they could blow at any second, but I'm almost forced to drive this car because I can't afford to buy these new rims which I feel are defective from the manufacturer.

All four rims, especially the front passenger were defective, but dealer is claiming "impact damage". also, the front two tires have worn either due to defect workmanship or the defective rims. In either case, I have now had to replace both front tires on my new Chevy Cobalt purchased March 29, 2010. GM very uncooperative, closed all cases due to "cannot contact complainant", which is so untrue. I have provided three phone numbers every time I leave my name. They did reopen the rim and the steering issue. Now the tires! what next?
