THE REAR BRAKE ROTORS ARE SCORED BADLY ON BOTH SIDES, AND MY LOCAL DEALER WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME, CALLING IT "WEAR". IN MY OPINION, THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE WEAR RATE ON BRAKES, WHICH IS A SAFETY CONCERN. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH A NUMBER OF OTHER COBALT SS OWNERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. *TR.Mileage was 4000 miles.

CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2009 car safety problem was reported on July 28, 2009.CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2009, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . MY REAR BRAKES ON MY 2009 COBALT SS WITH JUST OVER 17000 MILES ON IT WERE COMPLETELY GONE WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON TUESDAY JULY 28TH OF 2009. I FIRST NOTICED SOME UNUSUAL NOISE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AT AROUND 15000 MILES. AT FIRST THE NOISE WAS SPORADIC AND I WAS NOT CONCERNED WITH IT BUT IT SOON DEVELOPED INTO A CONSTANT FRICTION TYPE NOISE THAT COULD NOT BE IGNORED. AFTER LEAVING THE VEHICLE WITH THE DEALERSHIP ALL DAY THEY FOUND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. MY REAR BRAKES WERE METAL TO METAL WITH THE ROTORS. THE SERVICE EMPLOYEE ASKED ME IF I E-BRAKE SLIDE THE CAR, SINCE I WAS NOT EXACTLY FAMILIAR WITH THE TERM HE HAD TO CLARIFY ITS MEANING. I TOLD HIM I AM NOT AN E-BRAKE SLIDING KIND OF GUY AND ASKED HIM TO CHECK THE WARE ON THE TIRES IF HE DID NOT BELIEVE ME BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE PERFORMING A MANEUVER LIKE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE TIRES TO HAVE BALD SPOTS. WE THE SERVICE PEOPLE COULD NOT FIND ANY BALD SPOTS THEY RULED THE BRAKE AS A DEFECT AND COVERED THEM UNDER WARRANTY. I JUST FIND IT UNUSUAL THAT THE REAR BRAKES WOULD DO THIS SO EARLY IN THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE FRONT BRAKES LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE BARELY BEEN TOUCHED. IF I HAD BEEN TAKING A TURN OR HAVING TO BRAKE IN AN EMERGENCY I DON¿T KNOW WHAT ALL COULD HAVE HAPPENED WHEN I HAVE REAR METAL TO METAL INSTEAD OF THE OEM BRAKE PADS TO PROTECT ME. *TR.Mileage was 15000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1AP58X097. Chevrolet Cobalt Ss 2009 problem was reported in AUSTIN, TX. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

I JUST BOUGHT MY CAR IN APRIL OF 2009. I OWN A 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT SS AND I AM SEEING A FAIRLY QUICK BRAKE WEAR RATING ON THE BACK BRAKES. UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION, I NOTICE THE BRAKES HAVE SOME PRETTY DEEP GROVES WHICH I HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE ON BRAKES DISCS ON A CAR. I RESEARCHED THESE GROOVES ONLINE AND APPARENTLY ITS CALLED "SCORCHING". ITS WHAT'S RESPONSIBLE FOR WEARING THE BRAKES AS QUICKLY AS THEY ARE. IT SEEMS TOO BE CAUSED BY FRAGMENTS OF METAL NOT FILED DOWN ON THE REAR CALIPERS ETCHING OUT THE REAR ROTORS. ITS ALSO BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE CALIPERS COMPRESS THE REAR ROTORS HARDER ON THE INSIDE OF THE ROTOR THAN THE OUTSIDE. THIS MIGHT BE ANOTHER REASON TO THE SCORCHING. *TR.Mileage was 7000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1AP58X297. Chevrolet Cobalt Ss 2009 problem was reported in ABINGDON, MD.

CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2009 car safety problem was reported on Oct 10, 2009.CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2009, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . REAR BRAKES ON VEHICLE BEGIN BY SQUEAKING REGULARLY. UPON INSPECTING THEM AT ROUGHLY 6000 MILES ON THE BRAND NEW CAR, THE INNER BRAKE PADS ARE COMPLETELY WORN WHILE THE OUTER PADS ARE NEARLY NEW (AS THEY SHOULD BE). ONE POSSIBLE CAUSE OF THIS IS THAT THE PARKING BRAKE SPRING IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD THE INNER PADS FROM RUBBING THE ROTORS WHEN THE PARKING BRAKE IS DISENGAGED. GM SHOULD RECALL THIS BRAKE ISSUE AS IT WILL CONTINUE TO COST BUYERS HUNDREDS EVERY FEW THOUSAND MILES, WHEN ALL THAT IS NEEDED IS LIKELY A SPRING WITH A BETTER SPRING RATE. *TR.Mileage was 6000 miles.

I HAVE A 2009 CHEVY COBALT SS THAT WAS PURCHASED NEW IN JULY 2009. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 8000 MILES ON IT. MY CONCERN, LIKE MANY OTHER COBALT OWNERS, IS THE PREMATURE WEARING OF THE REAR BRAKE ROTORS. I NOTICED THE REAR BRAKES STARTING TO WEAR OUT AROUND 5000 MILES. THE REAR ROTORS HAVE DEEP GOUGES IN THE FACE OF THE ROTOR. THEY ARE NOW STARTING TO SQUEAL WHEN COMING TO A STOP. THIS APPEARS TO BE SEVERE, PREMATURE BRAKE WEAR, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE FRONT BRAKES SHOULD BE DOING MOST OF THE STOPPING. *TR.Mileage was 5000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1AP18X497.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, DOING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, MY 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT SS SHED IT'S INNER LEFT REAR BRAKE PAD, CAUSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SINK TO THE FLOOR, WHEN PRESSED, TO NO AVAIL.

THE GM DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM, STATING THAT IT WAS "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR". A MECHANIC AT THE DEALER WHISPERED TO ME THAT IT WAS A FAILURE THAT WAS LIKELY CAUSED BY THE CALIPER NOT RETRACTING PROPERLY, AND, WHILE IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AT ABOUT 12,000 MILES, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ONLY 4 MONTHS OLD. THE REAR BRAKE PADS, AS WELL AS, THE LEFT REAR ROTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TR.Mileage was 12000 miles.

AFTER 15,000 MILES (ABOUT A YEAR'S WORTH OF DRIVING), THE REAR BRAKE ROTORS WERE PITTED AND SCORED, AND WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED A METAL-ON-METAL GRINDING NOISE WOULD OCCUR. ALSO, AFTER GETTING WET FROM DRIVING IN THE RAIN, THEN ALLOWING TO VEHICLE TO REST FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, ENOUGH RUST WOULD BUILD UP ON THE REAR BRAKES THAT A COPIOUS AMOUNT OF THROTTLE WOULD BE NEEDED TO BREAK FREE THE PADS FROM THE ROTORS TO MOVE THE VEHICLE FORWARD.

I EXPLAINED THAT MOST ALL OWNERS OF COBALT SS MODELS BETWEEN THE 2008 - 2010 MODEL YEARS WERE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR REAR BRAKE ISSUES, BUT WAS TOLD THAT DID NOT MATTER. THE PARTS WERE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, AND IF I WOULD LIKE THEM REPAIRED/REPLACED, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR. *TR.Mileage was 15000 miles.

CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2009 car safety problem was reported on Nov 23, 2010.CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2009, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . I PURCHASED MY 2009 CHEVY COBALT SS/TC IN EARLY JUNE OF 2010. IT WAS A GM CERTIFIED USED CAR. WHEN I INSPECTED THE CAR BEFORE PURCHASING I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES WERE HEAVILY WORN AND I LET THE SALESMEN KNOW ABOUT IT. HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS ALMOST 70% LEFT ON THE PADS AND EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE . SO I DID THE DUMBEST THING I COULD DO AND TOOK HIS WORD FOR IT. AFTER ABOUT 5 MONTHS AND 4000 MILES LATER MY REAR BRAKES START MAKING A SCRAPING NOISE WHILE IN REVERSE AND WHILE LIGHT BRAKING AROUND CORNERS MOSTLY OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE.. I TOOK IT IN FOR MAINTENANCE EXPECTING SOME KIND OF MANUFACTURER DEFECT BUT INSTEAD I'M ACCUSED OF BAD DRIVING AND LETTING MY E-BRAKE DRAG. THE ISSUE WAS THAT THE REAR CALIPERS WERE STICKING AND NOT RETRACTING PROPERLY AND THE PISTONS INSIDE WERE BENT CAUSING UNEVEN PAD WEAR. BOTH SIDES MOISTURE BOOTS ON THE PISTONS LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE PINCHED AND BROKEN DURING THE FACTORY INSTALLATION. SO NOW HERE I AM WITH A BILL FOR ALMOST $1000 DOLLARS FOR REAR PADS, ROTORS AND CALIPERS AND ON A CAR THAT IS JUST OVER 2 YEARS OLD WITH ALMOST 2 YEARS ON A FACTORY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. I'M SORRY BUT THE CALIPERS TO ME ARE A MECHANICAL DEFECTED PART AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR.Mileage was 38257 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1AP18X297.

CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2009 car safety problem was reported on Oct 20, 2010.CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2009, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with PARKING BRAKE . I LAST CHECKED MY BRAKES WHEN I TOOK OFF MY SNOW TIRES IN MARCH WITH 18,000 MILES ON MY CAR. EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE, FRONT AND REAR PADS LOOKED ALMOST NEW WITH PLENTY OF MEAT ON THEM. IN JULY, I NOTICED THAT THE REAR BRAKES WERE STARTING TO GROOVE, SO I MENTIONED THIS TO THE DEALER WHEN I WENT IN FOR A RECALL AND THEY RESURFACED THEM FOR ME (22,885 MILES). I ASKED ABOUT THE PADS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD LOOKED AT THEM AND THEY WERE FINE AND EVERYTHING LOOKED NORMAL. IN OCTOBER, I NOTICED THE GROOVING COMING BACK. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, AND THEY CHARGED ME TO REPLACE THE REAR DISKS AND PADS AT 29,170 MILES (THEY DID THROW IN THE ROTORS FOR FREE DUE TO THE ABNORMAL WEAR). AFTER THE SERVICE, THEY GAVE ME THE OLD REAR PADS AS PER MY REQUEST. UPON RECEIVING THEM, I COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE THAT THE INNER REAR PAD, WHICH HAD BEEN WEARING IDENTICALLY TO THE OUTER REAR PADS WHEN I CHECKED AT 18,000 MILES, WERE WORN ALMOST TO THE BACKING PLATE! THE OUTER PADS STILL HAD 1/4" MATERIAL LEFT, SO IT SEEMED CLEAR THAT SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT. THE DEALER COULD FIND NO REASON FOR THIS WEAR AND STATED THAT EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL BESIDES THE BRAKE WEAR. IT SEEMS INCREDIBLE THAT A FRONT-HEAVY, FRONT-DRIVE CAR WOULD WEAR THROUGH ITS INNER REAR BRAKE PADS WHILE ITS FRONT PADS (WHICH DO MOST OF THE BRAKING) AND OUTER REAR PADS STILL HAVE PLENTY OF LIFE LEFT WITHOUT THERE BEING SOME KIND OF PROBLEM. I STILL HAVE THE PADS AND ALSO HAVE PICTURES. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THESE PADS WEAR DOWN SO QUICKLY, I COULD BE PUT IN A SITUATION WHERE I UNEXPECTEDLY HAVE NO E-BRAKE AND COMPROMISED BRAKING ABILITY DESPITE FREQUENT INSPECTIONS. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT GM IS MORE INTERESTED IN SELLING ME PARTS THAN IN DIAGNOSING AND CORRECTING THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HEARD FROM THE BOTH CHEVY DEALERS AND OTHER OWNERS THAT THIS IS A SOMEWHAT COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY CAR, AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT RESOLVED. THANK YOU. *TR.Mileage was 29170 miles.

CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2009 Safety Review #10371150

CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2009 car safety problem was reported on Oct 20, 2010.CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2009, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . I LAST CHECKED MY BRAKES WHEN I TOOK OFF MY SNOW TIRES IN MARCH WITH 18,000 MILES ON MY CAR. EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE, FRONT AND REAR PADS LOOKED ALMOST NEW WITH PLENTY OF MEAT ON THEM. IN JULY, I NOTICED THAT THE REAR BRAKES WERE STARTING TO GROOVE, SO I MENTIONED THIS TO THE DEALER WHEN I WENT IN FOR A RECALL AND THEY RESURFACED THEM FOR ME (22,885 MILES). I ASKED ABOUT THE PADS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD LOOKED AT THEM AND THEY WERE FINE AND EVERYTHING LOOKED NORMAL. IN OCTOBER, I NOTICED THE GROOVING COMING BACK. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, AND THEY CHARGED ME TO REPLACE THE REAR DISKS AND PADS AT 29,170 MILES (THEY DID THROW IN THE ROTORS FOR FREE DUE TO THE ABNORMAL WEAR). AFTER THE SERVICE, THEY GAVE ME THE OLD REAR PADS AS PER MY REQUEST. UPON RECEIVING THEM, I COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE THAT THE INNER REAR PAD, WHICH HAD BEEN WEARING IDENTICALLY TO THE OUTER REAR PADS WHEN I CHECKED AT 18,000 MILES, WERE WORN ALMOST TO THE BACKING PLATE! THE OUTER PADS STILL HAD 1/4" MATERIAL LEFT, SO IT SEEMED CLEAR THAT SOMETHING WAS NOT RIGHT. THE DEALER COULD FIND NO REASON FOR THIS WEAR AND STATED THAT EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL BESIDES THE BRAKE WEAR. IT SEEMS INCREDIBLE THAT A FRONT-HEAVY, FRONT-DRIVE CAR WOULD WEAR THROUGH ITS INNER REAR BRAKE PADS WHILE ITS FRONT PADS (WHICH DO MOST OF THE BRAKING) AND OUTER REAR PADS STILL HAVE PLENTY OF LIFE LEFT WITHOUT THERE BEING SOME KIND OF PROBLEM. I STILL HAVE THE PADS AND ALSO HAVE PICTURES. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THESE PADS WEAR DOWN SO QUICKLY, I COULD BE PUT IN A SITUATION WHERE I UNEXPECTEDLY HAVE NO E-BRAKE AND COMPROMISED BRAKING ABILITY DESPITE FREQUENT INSPECTIONS. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT GM IS MORE INTERESTED IN SELLING ME PARTS THAN IN DIAGNOSING AND CORRECTING THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HEARD FROM THE BOTH CHEVY DEALERS AND OTHER OWNERS THAT THIS IS A SOMEWHAT COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY CAR, AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT RESOLVED. THANK YOU. *TR.Mileage was 29170 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1AP18X697. Chevrolet Cobalt Ss 2009 problem was reported in AUBURNDALE, MA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2009 Safety Review #10383630

CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2009 car safety problem was reported on Feb 01, 2011.CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2009, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . BRAKES STARTED SQUEALING A FEW MONTHS AFTER BUYING THE CAR BRAND NEW. NOW, ABOUT 1.5 YEARS LATER, THEY ARE GRINDING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT AND THEIR PERFORMANCE HAS EXTREMELY DECREASED. I FEAR I WILL HAVE TO CHANGE ENTIRE ROTORS AND PADS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM OUT OF MY OWN POCKET WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH ON GOOD AFTERMARKET PARTS SINCE THE FACTORY CAN'T PRODUCE GOOD QUALITY OEM PARTS AND GENERAL MOTORS DOESN'T GIVE A FLYING ****. I INFORMED MY LOCAL DEALER OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY SHRUGGED ME OFF, BUT ONLY AFTER WANTING TO CHARGE ME $60 TO JUST LOOK AT THEM. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO INSPECT BRAKES THAT ARE FAULTY IN UNDER 2 YEARS, AND 20,000 MILES; AND I ALSO HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PAID FOR. APPARENTLY, IT'S JUST MAINLY THE REAR BRAKES THAT ARE THE ISSUE WITH THESE CARS, BUT EVERY OWNER I KNOW, WHO HASN'T ALREADY REPLACED THE BRAKES WITH AFTERMARKET PERFORMANCE PARTS, HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, AND IN SOME CASES, MUCH WORSE. IF THE BRAKES FAIL WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH OR TWO AND AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS(QUITE POSSIBLE SINCE RUST IS APPEARING ON ONE OF MY REAR RIMS DUE TO THE ROTORS BEING SCOURED SO EXCESSIVELY, I FEAR ONE OF THEM MAY LET GO AND SNAP COMPLETELY OFF)BEFORE EITHER A RECALL, OR I PUT AFTERMARKET PRODUCTS ON, GM WILL BE FACING A LAWSUIT BY YOURS TRULY; ESPECIALLY IF SERIOUS INJURY OCCURS..Mileage was 11000 miles.

FRONTS HAVE CERAMIC PADS SO NO WEAR AT ALL. MECHANIC SAID THEY USED EXPENSIVE CERAMIC UP FRONT AND CHEAP SEMI METALLIC IN BACK AND NOW THE ONLY FIX IS NEW CERAMIC PADS BUT THE ROTORS ARE TO FAR GONE TO BE RESURFACED.

CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2009 car safety problem was reported on Apr 26, 2011.CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2009, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with PARKING BRAKE . I BROUGHT MY 2009 COBALT SS INTO THE DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, 20K MILEAGE CHECK. IT HAS A 5-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY REAR ROTORS WERE SCORED BADLY POSSIBLY FROM THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BEING ON WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THE SURFACE WAS TOO FAR GONE TO TURN THEM. I'M THE ONLY PERSON THAT DRIVES THE CAR AND I KNOW I DON'T DRIVE WITH THE E-BRAKE ON, NOT EVEN ONCE. HOWEVER, I DO PULL THE E-BRAKE WHEN I PARK MY CAR WITH THE TRANS IN GEAR. LET ME SAY ALSO I DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR HARD LIKE RACING OR DRIFTING. I DID PULL THE TIRE AND ROTOR FROM THE LEFT REAR TO FIND THAT THE INNER ROTOR SURFACE WAS INDEED SCORED BADLY WITHIN 3/4-INCH OF THE OUTER ROTOR DIAMETER. THE OUTER ROTOR SURFACE WAS CLEAN AND SMOOTH. THE OUTER BRAKE PAD LOOKED LIKE IT HAD 2X THE MATERIAL LEFT VERSUS THE INNER PAD. I DID NOT PULL THE RIGHT SIDE ROTOR YET. (MY NEW BRAKE ROTOR ORDER GOT FOULED UP. STILL WAITING.) LIKE MANY OF THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAINED, MY CAR HAS SLIGHTLY OVER 21K MILES ON IT SO WHY SHOULD IT NEED REAR BRAKES SO QUICKLY? MOST OF THE WEAR SHOULD BE ON THE FRONT BRAKES DUE TO WEIGHT AND MOMENTUM DURING BRAKING. SOMETHING DOESN'T ADD UP. WILL IT HAPPEN AGAIN WITH THE NEW ROTORS? *TR.Mileage was 21000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1AP18X497. Chevrolet Cobalt Ss 2009 problem was reported in MANCHESTER, NJ. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2009 car safety problem was reported on June 15, 2011.CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2009, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . THE COBALT BRAKES HAVE ALWAYS MADE A SCREECHING SOUND, WHICH GM HAS ADDRESSED AS BEING NORMAL. CHEVROLET #08-05-22-004: INFORMATION ON BRAKE SQUEAL/SQUEAK NOISE - (JUL 15, 2008)] HOWEVER, I HAD TO PREMATURELY REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES AND HAVE THE ROTORS CUT AFTER ONLY 27,039 MILES, WHILE THE FRONT BRAKES STILL HAD 50% LIFE LEFT. THIS IS NOT A NORMAL OCCURRENCE, SINCE THE FRONT BRAKES SHOULD HAVE WORN OUT BEFORE THE REAR ONES. WHILE I WAS ABLE TO GET 27,039 MILES OF WEAR, THE FACT THAT THERE IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT IN THE SYSTEM MEANS THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE CONDITION WILL NOT WORSEN IN TIME. THERE IS ALSO THE CHANCE THAT THE SYSTEM COULD FAIL COMPLETELY CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. FINALLY, THE SCREECHING SOUND IS GETTING WORSE. THIS SOUND, ALONG WITH THE BRAKE WEAR, WILL VIRTUALLY REDUCE THE VALUE OF THE CAR CONSIDERABLY, MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TRADE OR SELL, UNLESS GM CORRECTS THIS ISSUE. .Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1AP18X297.

THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE BRAKES, THEY ARE ENTIRELY TOO UNSAFE. *TR.Mileage was 28000 miles. Chevrolet Cobalt Ss 2009 problem was reported in BEAVERCREEK, OH.

SHORTLY AFTER BUYING THIS CAR, THE PARKING BRAKE STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. THE REAR CALIPERS HAVE LOCKED UP AND DO NOT DO ANYTHING WHEN THE HANDLE IS PULLED UP. THIS IS A TERRIBLE DESIGN WHICH CAUSES, AT BEST AN INCONVENIENT, AND AT WORST, POSSIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS, FOR A CAR EQUIPPED WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, THERE IS NO PARK TO PUT THE CAR IN SO I HAVE TO BLOCK THE WHEELS WHEN PARKING UNTIL I CAN GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED.

AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 4 MILES AND THEN BACK 4 MILES PARKED CAR. NOTICED GASOLINE DRIPPING IN THE DRIVEWAY. CALLED SERVICE GARAGE AND THEY SAID GET A TOW TRUCK,DANGEROUS TO EVEN TRY AND START CAR, ONE SPARK AND IT COULD EXPLODE. FOUND PROBLEM WITH FUEL TANK AND FUEL PUMP. HAD ONLY HAD CAR A FEW MONTHS. GARAGE REPLACED FUEL PUMP AND REPLACEMENT WAS DEFECTIVE ALSO. REPLACED IT AND PUT ON A NEW FUEL TANK. SEPT GOT A GM RECALL #12190 NOTICE. TO TAKE IT IN FOR FREE REPAIR TO A DEALER AROUND 40 MILES FROM MY HOUSE. HAD ALREADY PAID ALMOST $800 TO GARAGE WHEN I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED. NOW I HAVE A RECALL NOTICE 12045 BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS FOR. CALLED RECOMMENDED GARAGE TO SEE IF THEY HAD PART TO REPAIR (CALLED TWICE NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THEM). STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM.

GO TO A SITE ON LINE THERE IS ONE THAT COBALT DEALERS HAVE REPORTED THE PROBLEMS THEY HAVE HAD, THAT IS HOW I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE PRIOR RECALL⿦I THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE TO TELL YOU WHAT IT IS THEY ARE RECALLING THE CAR FOR. IN THE FIRST GAS PROBLEM WE WERE LUCKY NOT TO HAVE HAD THE CAR EXPLODE.

DECEMBER 29, 2011, I WAS DRIVING HOME ONE EVENING IN THE COBALT WHEN MY CAR'S ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I LOST CONTROL ON A SEMI-RESIDENTIAL A FEW BLOCKS FROM HOME. DRIVING AT ABOUT 35-45 MP, DOWNHILL, I HIT A PARKED CAR ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD (NARROW ROAD, CARS PARKED ON BOTH SIDES, 2-WAY STREET). I THOUGHT, "I'M GOING TO DIE". THIS IMPACT MADE THE CAR CONTINUE ON, FASTER AND MORE OUT OF CONTROL, HITTING ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE THE STREET AND I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BY HITTING THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WHEEL/BUMPER OF THE COBALT AGAINST THE A PARKED TRUCK TO AVOID DRIVING INTO AN INTERSECTION OR ANY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. NO AIRBAGS EVER DEPLOYED. THE CAR THEN FLIPPED OVER, AND THAT'S HOW THEY FOUND AND RECOVERED ME. I AWOKE HOURS LATER IN SHOCK TRAUMA AT WASHINGTON HOSPITAL CENTER IN DC (WHERE I WORKED AT THE TIME), WITH THE CAR TOTALED AND JUST A SCRATCH ON MY HAND. I JUST HAD ACHES/PAINS, NO BROKEN BONES, BUT HAD TO TAKE SOME TIME OFF WORK. I HAD NO HEALTH INSURANCE AS I WAS A CONTRACTED EMPLOYEE. CAR INSURANCE PAID OFF THE EXPENSE OF VEHICLE. THANK GOD NOBODY WAS KILLED NOR SERIOUSLY INJURED. I HAVE ALL PAPERWORK, PHOTOS BUT I STILL DON'T DRIVE, MAYBE JUST ONCE A WEEK.

THANK GOD NOBODY WAS KILLED NOR SERIOUSLY INJURED. I HAVE ALL PAPERWORK, PHOTOS BUT I STILL DON'T DRIVE, MAYBE JUST ONCE A WEEK. THE YEAR OF THE COBALT IS FROM 2009, BUT I BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE CLASS ACTION SUIT, AS IT WAS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. .Vehicle was involved in a crash. 1 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 38000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1AT58H697. Chevrolet Cobalt Ss 2009 problem was reported in BALTIMORE, MD. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 45 mph.

CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2009 car safety problem was reported on June 20, 2012.CHEVROLET COBALT SS 2009, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . I DRIVE A 2009 CHEVY COBALT SS, MANUAL TRANSMISSION WHEN I PARKED AT A FRIENDS APARTMENT COMPLEX I APPLIED MY E-BRAKE ON A SLIGHT HILL AND THE BRAKE DID NOT HOLD AT ALL. I HAD TO RE PARK MY VEHICLE ON A COMPLETELY FLAT SURFACE AND THEN PLACE IT IN FIRST GEAR. A FEW DAYS LATER I DECIDED TO TEST SOMETHING. SO I PARKED MY CAR ON A FLAT SURFACE AND ENGAGED THE E-BRAKE. THE LEVER WAS ABLE TO BE PULLED ALL THE WAY UP WITH VERY LITTLE RESISTANCE. I THEN GOT OUT OF MY VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO PUSH MY VEHICLE FORWARD WITH LITTLE RESISTANCE. I THEN TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FIXED IT UNDER WARRANTY. I THEN BEGAN TO APPLY THE E-BRAKE AND PUT MY CAR IN FIRST GEAR EVERY TIME I PARK. THEN A FEW MONTHS AGO, ABOUT ON 01/05/2014 I EXPERIENCED THE SIMILAR ISSUE. I NOTICED THAT I WAS ABLE TO PULL MY E-BRAKE LEVER ALL THE WAS UP WITH LITTLE RESISTANCE. I THEN PARKED MY CAR WITH IT IN NEUTRAL AND THE E-BRAKE ENGAGED AND WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE CAR FORWARD WITH VERY LITTLE EFFORT. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE PART IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT FOR FREE. WHILE LOOKING ONLINE I NOTICED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I FOUND THAT THE BRAKE CABLE GET STRETCHED OUT VERY EASILY AND THAT ONE OF THE TWO BRAKE CABLES IS OFTEN MORE STRETCHED THAN THE OTHER..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 43000 miles.
