CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2008 car safety problem was reported on Sept 05, 2009.CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2008, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . AT APPROXIMATELY 18,000 MILES, MY 2008 CHEVROLET COBALT SS HAD A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR BRAKES. THIS NOISE WAS WORSE WHEN I USED THE BRAKES. I DROVE THE VEHICLE ANOTHER 30 MILES TO MY DESTINATION. UPON ARRIVAL, I NOTICED THAT I HAD LOST ABOUT 50% OF MY BRAKING POWER AND THAT THE GRINDING NOISE WAS MUCH WORSE THAN WHEN I FIRST NOTICED IT, 30 MILES EARLIER. OF COURSE, I REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS, KNOWING THAT THE NOISE THEY WERE MAKING WAS CAUSED BY THE PADS WEARING OUT AND THE METAL GRINDING AGAINST THE ROTOR. TO MY SURPRISE, ONLY THE INSIDE BRAKE PADS WERE WORN TO THE METAL, AND THE OUTER BRAKE PADS HAD JUST OVER 1/4 OF AN INCH OF PAD LEFT. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY LOCAL GM DEALER AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS A TSB (TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN) POSTED IN THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEMS THAT SAYS THE PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY THE DRIVER AND THAT GM DEALERS ARE NOT TO COVER THE REAR BRAKE PROBLEM. I KNOW THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL OCCUR IN ANOTHER 20,000 MILES BECAUSE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CALIPERS OR ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM. THE INSIDE PADS SHOULD NOT WEAR OUT FASTER THAN THE FRONT. THEY SHOULD ALSO WEAR EVENLY. ANOTHER CONCERN I HAVE IS THE LOSS OF BRAKING POWER IN ONLY 30 MILES FROM THE EARLIEST SIGN OF A BRAKE PROBLEM. I DON'T LIKE THE FACT THAT THE REAR BRAKES, SPECIFICALLY THE INSIDE BRAKE PADS, ARE DOING APPROXIMATELY 50% OF THE BRAKING. MOST OF THE BRAKING SHOULD BE DONE BY THE FRONT BRAKES, WHICH HAVE WELL OF 1/4 OF AN INCH OF BRAKE PAD LEFT ON THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE PADS. *TR.Mileage was 18000 miles.

THIS OBVIOUSLY IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, AND I AM NOT VERY HAPPY. THE DEALER SAID I HAVE OVER 75% LIFE LEFT ON THE PADS THROUGH HIS GAUGE SYSTEM, AND YET IT MAKES HORRIBLE SCREECHING NOISES. THE ROTORS ARE SCORED VERY BADLY. *TR.Mileage was 6000 miles. Chevrolet Cobalt Ss 2008 problem was reported in WILLOUGHBY HILLS, OH. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.

CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2008 car safety problem was reported on Oct 06, 2009.CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2008, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with PARKING BRAKE . 1. BEFORE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2008, I WAS MADE AWARE OF AN ISSUE WITH THE REAR BRAKE WEARING ABNORMALLY. I HAD MADE AT LEAST TWO INQUIRIES TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF A TSB (TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN) BEING RELEASED ON THE PROBLEM. AT THE TIME THERE HAD NOT BEEN, BUT I HAD NEITHER EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM UP UNTIL THEN. 2. THE FAILURE OCCURS WITH THE PARKING BRAKE MECHANISM. THE PARKING BRAKE FUNCTIONS BY ENGAGING THE INSIDE BRAKE PAD ON THE REAR BRAKES. THERE IS A RETURN SPRING THAT IS SUPPOSE TO DISENGAGE THE BRAKE PAD WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE IS RELEASED. THIS SPRING IS FAILING TO DISENGAGE THE INSIDE PAD CAUSING THE PAD TO WEAR ABNORMALLY. THE RESULT IS THAT THE INSIDE PAD WILL WEAR THIN VERY QUICKLY AND EVENTUALLY BEGIN TO DAMAGE THE BRAKE ROTOR. 3. I HAVE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND I WAS DEFERRED TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THERE TO BE A DEFECT AND WILL NOT PERFORM THE REPLACEMENT WORK UNDER THEIR WARRANTY. TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, I WILL BE REPLACING ALL OF THE REAR BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS AND INSTALLING A HIGHER TENSION SPRING ON THE PARKING BRAKE RETURN. *TR.Mileage was 15000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1AP18X087. Chevrolet Cobalt Ss 2008 problem was reported in LIBERTY, MO. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2008 car safety problem was reported on Mar 25, 2010.CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2008, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL ABOUT 6000 MILES WHEN I NOTICED SLIGHT BRAKE NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR BRAKES. I DIDNT NOTICE THE GROVES IN THE ROTORS UNTIL AFTER I GOT STUCK ON INTERSTATE 465 IN THE SNOW BECAUSE THE BACK BRAKES WERE DRAGGING. I KNOW THE BACK BRAKES WERE DRAGGING BECAUSE I HAD TO PUT MY CAR INTO FIRST GEAR AND PUSH MY OWN CAR WITH THE DOOR OPEN. I KNOW BAD IDEA. I NOTICED THAT THE REAR TIRES DIDN'T START ROLLING UNTIL THEY GOT TO CLEAN PAVEMENT. THERE WAS LESS THAN ONE INCH OF SNOW ON THE ROADS. IT TOOK ME TWO HOURS TO GET HOME FROM WORK WHICH IS A FIFTEEN MINUTE DRIVE NORMALLY. I HAD TO WAIT A WEEK FOR THE SNOW TO MELT SO I COULD DRIVE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY GAVE ME A LONER VEHICLE WHICH I DROVE FOR OVER THREE WEEKS WAITING FOR THEM TO FIX MY CAR. THEY COULDN'T TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG BUT THEY DID REPLACE THE PADS AND ROTORS. THIS OCCURED AT ROUGHLY 10,000 MILES. AND 10,000 MILES LATER THE ROTORS WERE GROOVED AGAIN. SO I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN THIS TIME THEY DIDN'T WANT TO FIX THE BRAKES BUT MY UNCLE KNOWS THE OWNER OF THE DEALERSHIP AND HE GOT THEM TO FIX IT. I DROVE A LONER AGAIN FOR A FEW WEEKS. AND FINALLY I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK WITH 32,895 MILES ON IT WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS TIME THEY SAID G.M. WON'T COVER THE REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. THEY SAID THE BRAKES FAILED DUE TO BEING DIRTY. LOL ! I WASH MY CAR EVERY WEEK. I STILL HAVE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS ON MY CAR THAT I DRIVE EVERYDAY. THE BRAKE NOISE IS SLOWLY GETTING WORSE. ALMOST FORGOT DUE TO THE REAR BRAKE ISSUE MY RIMS HAVE DISCOLORATION FROM THE HEAT. NOT HORRIBLE BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE LIKE THAT..Mileage was 10000 miles.

CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2008 car safety problem was reported on Apr 21, 2010.CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2008, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . THE PROBLEM I AM EXPERIENCING WITH MY 2008 CHEVROLET COBALT SS IS THE REAR BRAKE PADS WEARING OUT QUICKLY UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. BECAUSE THE BRAKE BIAS IS SET TO THE FRONT BRAKES, THEY SHOULD WEAR OUT LONG BEFORE THE REAR BRAKES. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM LIES IN THE HARDWARE OF THE BRAKING PACKAGE. EITHER THE CALIPER IS CAUSING THE PAD TO CONSTANTLY RUB THE ROTOR OR SOME OTHER ISSUE IS PRESENT. I FIRST NOTICED THAT THE ROTORS WERE SCORED AT ABOUT 3,000 MILES, WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL. AT 20,000 MILES THE REAR PADS WERE DOWN TO THE METAL ON THE INSIDE PAD. ALSO, ITS NOT JUST A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR PADS, EVERY ROTOR ON THE CAR IS SCORED BEYOND NORMAL WEAR. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF THE 2008+ SS COBALTS, NOT WITH THE WAY THEY ARE BEING DRIVEN. GENERAL MOTORS IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER, THEY TOO SAID THAT IT WAS UNEVEN WEAR THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. BUT, INSTEAD OF LOOKING INTO THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, THEY SIMPLY REPLACED THE REAR PADS. THIS WAS A TEMPORARY "PATCH" NOT A FIX. IN 5,000 MILES, THEY'LL START TO WEAR AGAIN UNEVENLY. I THINK GENERAL MOTORS NEEDS TO EVALUATE THE ROTORS AND PADS ON THESE CARS. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, IS THERE AN EXCUSE FOR THE BRAKES AND ROTORS TO BE WORN OUT ON THESE CARS AT 20,000 MILES UNDER DAILY DRIVING CONDITIONS. IF THE PROBLEM ONLY EFFECTED A COUPLE OF CARS, IT COULD BE BLAMED ON THE DRIVING PATTERNS OF THE OPERATOR. HOWEVER, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR ALL THE OWNERS AS PASSED ALONG THROUGH ENTHUSIAST CAR FORUMS. *TR.Mileage was 20000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1AP18X387.
