2006 chevy cobalt. after coming to a stop ,at a stop sign, for example, steering wheel locks, engine shuts off, key sometimes sticks in the ignition lock, occurs randomly and with out warning. car will restart and behave normally. dealer replaced ignition switch under recall in late 2014. went to dealer service department for help with sticking ignition switch. currently dealer refuses to reinspect ignition switch with out agreement to diagnostic charge. contacted gm customer service. gm admits there is a extended warranty until 2020 for the ignition switch {warranty letter 14632) customer service rep further indicated that any parts replaced have a 1 year warranty only. and my ignition switch is past parts warranty. gm customer service stated that the dealer is within there rights to demand a diagnostic fee if the dealer determines the problem is not the ignition switch. we indicated to the gm customer service that the ignition switch is locking up again. its was my understanding that gm feels that the recall repair is a one time event. gm refuses to look at the ignition switch again unless i agree to pay for diagnostics regardless of any safety issues involved.
While driving today door locks unlock and lock again randomly. it was scary. i was driving in town. also traction control light and engine light came on. began running rough and lunging. i am afraid to drive my own car.

'takata recall' my mother's cobalt has stalled on her many times at stoplights and almost caused accidents because when the car makes a stop at a stoplight the check engine light comes on and power steering and everything goes out and the key won't turn. this is a very dangerous car to drive in please put a recall on this vehicle, she is an older woman and it isn't safe for anyone to drive at this point. one of the almost accident happened on a city street and she almost was rear ended since she couldn't move in time and the car goes out at any moment it wants to.
Power steering failure and engine light came on dashboard. car is drivable but power steering fails often at times when driving. was almost in bad car accident if i had not pulled off the highway.
The vehicle can mess up from either driving down the highway or trying to accelerate the vehicle on city street or highway that the engine stalls and says "engine power reduced" the check engine light along with the t/c light comes on. it happens multiple times in just 30 minutes of driving, more for longer trips. it will even do it in 10 minutes of driving. you have to pull over and turn vehicle off for a few minutes and then it drives fine for maybe a mile down the road before it does it again, or, you can continue driving it with the pedal all the way to the floor board trying to get speed which if you do the car shifts gear very badly and rides rough but when you're trying to get to work on time you do what you have too. i have taken the vehicle to a mechanic 3 times over this. throttle body was changed (twice), they replaced the computer and cleaned the wires. one mechanic was the chevrolet dealership and they told me they needed it there when it happened to better diagnose the situation. i do not have the ability to let them just keep my vehicle. i have had this vehicle for a little over a year. i bought it used. i have a loan on the vehicle and i am scared to drive this any further than i have to because i know the vehicle will mess up. i have two children that i have to put in this vehicle to take places. this vehicle is extremely unsafe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i want help with this situation!! this first happened in november of 2016. i do not know the day specifically. i do remember it did not fall under the dealerships warranty that i got it from.

When driving the car it seems to feel like the brakes are being applied and the car is towing a heavy load and the speed will decrease as i continue to drive forcing me to park the vehicle. i turn the car off for an hour or two and it will drive normally again but if driven to long it will slow down with the same problem. this is a typical city driving, stop and go at stop lights or up and down small hills. the mechanic stated that it maybe the throttle body module but we are not sure.

I had ignition switch recall work performed on my car. following that, or perhaps due to increased mileage, i began having power problems with my cobalt. on 10/19/15 my car was parked, wouldn't start and check engine light was on. then it started but didn't have enough power to move/run. i had to have it towed - mileage was 131,982 at the time. battery was good. the shop said it had po300 codes - random misfires. they found cylinders 2 and 3 were not contributing power due to a bad ignition module. so the ignition module was replaced. i also had worn spark plugs replaced, as the shop recommended i do so. the car still had misfire codes and would hesitate when re-accelerating after stops, so i paid for a new fuel filter at the repair shop's recommendation. the hesitation continued but i couldn't afford further diagnostics/repairs. within a couple of weeks of repair my car lost complete power while i was driving in traffic. luckily, other drivers had time/space to react, but it could have caused a deadly accident. due to finances, my brother checked the car for me and cleaned the throttle body - the only issue he could detect. it has run a bit better since then, but still exhibits hesitation after stops. i worry it may lose complete power again but i cant afford incurring further expense with trial and error repairs. especially after reading online other cobalt owners are having the same experience, and have been unable to get resolution despite multiple expensive trips to mechanics. i feel chevrolet needs to investigate the electrical/power loss issues with cobalts and cover needed repairs under a recall so cobalt owners can drive with peace of mind. i'm submitting this complaint now because of a recent nbc news program where a young woman died when her cobalt lost power in traffic, and this also occurred following the ignition switch recall work being done.
The engine randomly cuts off while driving at low speeds (under 45 mph). the electrical things like radio, lights, etc remain on. this problem began in 10/2012. the 1st diagnosis of cylinder misfire was repaired by removing & replacing coil pack. the 2nd diagnosis of malfunctioning catalytic converter was repaired by removing & replacing catalytic converter in summer of 2013. the 3rd diagnosis of faulty starter was repaired by removing & replacing starter in july 2014. the 4th diagnosis of bad starter was repaired by removing & replacing the starter october 2015. after every repair the engine would randomly cut off while driving as it had before the repairs. the recalled ignition was removed & replaced in 2015 be the dealer as well. no service department or repair shop had ever been able to definitely diagnose the cause or recreate the problem. although the engine cuts off during low speeds, it is highly dangerous. the most recent occurrence happened less than 24hrs after the starter was replaced. the engine stopped while driving in the middle of the road & several vehicles narrowly missed the car barely avoiding collision.
Car while it's running gets a security light and engine light on and all gauges read zero besides the rpms jumping to a thousand. an display saying low fuel and power steering and when try to change display it reads ---------- and it did the same thing while driving down the road so i pulled over and turned it off and back on and only the security light stayed on. very dangerous as the car will not move when it's happening it's like it's disabled.
Keeps losing oil and now the engine wont keep oil now the engine is gone,,we kept the oil checked but one day while driving it lost pressure and wont go..i think it should be part of the recall...this car has had a lot of issues and recalls since being purchased...

I was driving on the highway and my traction control came on. i lost steering control and my car started shifting rough and eventually my power deminished. now comes on periodically for a couple days then will go off and drive fine. also my airbag light stays on for passenger and shows it to be off. has done this since i bought it.
Chevrolet cobalt had a ignition switch recall which i did and now a couple months later i can hear the ignition switch click on and off repeatedly,the anti theft system is now on and engaged,the symbol is constantly on,it thinks that my car is stolen,even when i drive it'll be on it'll disable my gauges, my gauges will not work and if they do they work for a second and go off repeatedly,the car will flash dash icons like if it was a christmas tree show, it looks like if an alien race came in and keep messing with it..sometimes the car won't even start, it won't kick over, on the digital display of my dash i get dash marks cause of a computer error cause of a another faulty ignition switch. the cars gauges as i try to drive will not work, the icons on the dash will keep rotating from other icons, this car is dangerous in my own opinion. when i drive the gauges won't work and it's so dangerous, i can't see the speed or my rpms, i can't see how much gas i have, my radio is no good, the leather they used for the seats was garbage, the paint was done by an amateur, the paint is coming off the car, rust is developing, my doors will open and close themselves, i never had this problem before doing the recall.the ignition switch turns off my airbags,my radio does not work, my wheels hubs have broke cause they used cheap wheel hubs on a sports car, the ignition coil packs are garbage.the car is defective, i spent close to $22,000 to $24,000,in 2006 for my 2006 chevrolet cobalt 2.4 ss which has less than 71,000 miles.they pushed a cheap crappy parts car with cheap paint and no rust prevention,also the wiring of electronics in the car was complete [xxx], the wiring harnesses on all the wires is crumbling,the wiring to the battery in the rear trunk of the car is a fail,chevrolet pushed a car out that was no ready for market,they pushed a car out that was defective and dangerous. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Starting on sunday i was driving down the highway and my car suddenly shut off. the power steering light flashed and then the service air bag light as well. i pulled over, stopped completely, and turned my car back on and took the back roads home. after turning the car back on the warning lights on the display were gone. the next day i was on a different highway and the same thing happened except when i turned my car back on the service air bag light stayed on until i returned home. i had the recall on the ignition switch replaced last year. *tr
I was on my way to work and my check engine light came on. i went to have a diagnostic test done on it and the reason for the light coming on was because my throttle body sensor had gone out. after the light came on my gas peddle was touchy. i could barely push it and it would take off very fast, then i could push it and it would take off very slow. *tr
Was driving on highway at 65mph and car shut off with no warning and reading engine disabled. pulled over turned it off and back on the same thing happened 5 minutes later. *tr

We were driving down the road in oct when all of sudden dash lights up flashing dinging going crazy the car keeps jerking forward like its trying to shift into a gear for the whole 40 min drive it drove fine on the way home . it has done this maybe three times since the other day i was driving my grand children to school when the car started to jerk forward then just stopped running and lost power steering , in a three way intersection , my car finally started up after about 10 mins. in oct when the car started having problems i called our dealer they said the car had all the recalls done that it would cost 90 to check it out and that they wouldn't be able to find anything unless it was having the issues at the time they had the vehicle i ended up calling gm about the problem only to be told i am sorry that you had a stressful morning we can give you a case number and will get back to you within 24 to 48 hours may car now sets at my daughters house i will not be driving this car for fear i may injury or kill my grandchildren or others this vehicle id a death trap gm needs to own up and buy out these vehicles so upset right now shame on them how many lives need to be lost before they do something this time? *tr
While driving, the door locks went up and down and immediately after, the engine raced and rpm gage went up significantly. *tr
I was driving on a highway at 65 mph and the traction control light and check engine light on the dashboard came on and when i had to accelerate then the car started shifting really roughly. i was half way to my destination and then the traction control light went off and the car shifted smoothly on acceleration. the check engine light stayed lit but the car seem to run fine. when i got home i researched the issue and found that there was over 1800 complaints about this same issue. my car is now parked because i thinks its not reliable. i think this should be, yet, another recall for the cobalt. *tr
The first time this particular problem began, because there have been oh so many others, i turned on the car and a power steering messaged appeared. there was no check engine light or anything else, just the "power steering" message. this happened intermittently for about 2 months. then one evening while accelerating from a stop light, the car started to hop, the "power steering" message came on with a dinging alarm, the car slowed down to about 5 mph, and the power steering was gone, along with the breaks. it was extremely difficult to turn or stop the car. we were able to get it off the road, where we turned the engine off and on a few times. each time with no success in fixing the issue. finally after letting it rest for about 15 min, we were able to turn it on and it returned to normal. since then, intermittently the "power steering" message comes on and dings, the car hops, and the power steering goes out. i took it to the dealer and they said the steering column needs to be replaced at a cost of $800. i can't understand this, since my steering column has rarely been move, maybe a total of 30 since i bought the car in 2006. i am the original owner and very few people, outside of myself, have driven this car, lending to minimal adjusting of the steering column. *tr
I was driving down the road . i just reached 55 mph. my ignition shut off and i lost steering and brakes. i went to the right into the ditch and hit a telephone pole. *tr

At approximately 7:47am cst on august 7th 2014, i was making a right hand turn when the engine and all electrical components died. i was able to restart the car and safely drive, with no check engine lights/other dash warnings, approximately half a mile back home. there was no warning on the dash (ie check engine light) before the massive failure occurred; it was instantly dead. this fits the characterization of the ignition switch failure in the affected gm models. i was one turn from merging on the freeway. had this incident occurred a minute later, the potential for severe injury/loss of life was great. i have been waiting on a list since april to get the defected ignition switch repaired. i have called several times for updates, and have been told up to 800 people were ahead of me for repairs. when i reported this incident to gm via the ignition switch recall hotline, they suddenly found the parts needed to repair my car. this is suspect to me. they are also claiming that this incident was not ignition switch related, but the fact remains that this was a near-miss incident with potential catastrophic implications that fits all descriptions of ignition switch failures. i have followed the instructions by gm to drive with only the key in the ignition and to avoid bumpy roads, but this incidents has made me feel extremely unsafe to drive this car. gm is not treating this defect in the ignition switch as seriously as it needs to, as the possibility for severe injury/loss of light is great. there is no warning that power will be lost. i do not feel safe driving this car knowing that gm knew about this defect for over a decade and is insisting that cars with the defect are safe to drive. *tr

For months i have been having problems with my ignition switch, i have been calling every week to the chevrolet dealership closest to my home and each week they tell me to call back next week. well this week my car finally died on me. luckily i had parked and went into a store and when i came out the it would not start rather than stalling on the road. so i called the dealership and explained what my car had done and at that time they told me to call triple aaa and have them tow my car to the dealership. i was told that if it was my ignition switch it would be fixed and i could get a rental until the parts come in. well needless to say i called the towing company (aaa) and my car was towed up there the next day when i called to check on it i was told that it was my starter and now i owe a hundred and two dollars towing fee and have to pay them over six hundred dollars to do the starter work. i could not afford this so now i'm out of more money to have my car towed away from there. i go and buy a starter that cost over two hundred dollars only to put it on and my car still don't work. i am so disappointed in this company and i am afraid of this car. i am not a mechanic and i am not sure what this ignition switch may or may not do if i continue to drive. i was under the impression that i could get a rental according to the news and i am yet to get anyone to even act as if they care. this is a plea for you to help me. i am a single mother of four, working two jobs and this is my only source of transportation. please help me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *tr

A vehicle in front of my 2006 chevrolet cobalt quickly applied their brakes which caused my daughter to quickly apply hers thus causing her to hit the rear of the vehicle in front of her. the air bags immediatly deployed. my son, who was in the passenger seat, noticed within seconds of the crash that the engine was on fire. he had to quickly unhook both his and my daughters seat belt so they could evacuate the vehicle before the cabin caught fire. once my daughter was able to relax and gather herself and tell me what she had remembered about the accident, she told me that it was very difficult to apply the brakes and it didn't seem like it was stopping as quickly as usual. i ask her if she thought that the car had stalled prior to the accident and she stated that she didn't know what it would feel like to have a car stall while she was driving. i am unsure as to, number one, why the engine caught fire immediatly after a 35mph impact and two, why was it very difficult for my daughter to push on the brake pedal to stop at a time when you need to trust your vehicle the most???? *js
I had become aware of the recall, just the week prior and was planning on making arrangements to have the car fixed, once the parts (3-4 weeks out from what i was explained) arrived. i was also explained via the dealer and what i read on line that the car should be ok to drive so long as there was nothing on the key. so i requested my daughter to only use the key with absolutely nothing on it, when using my car. at approximately 2pm on a clear sunny day, my daughter was exiting the freeway. as she was slowing down, the car suddenly shut off on her. before she had time to react she hit another vehicle. she was fortunately not injured, mainly because she was already slowing down and had it been a few minutes earlier, things may have been drastically different. i have had this car for 7 years and i drove it quite a bit and let my daughter do so as well. i am angry that gm has allowed my daughter and i to be at risk for such a long period of time and even as i am writing this (2 weeks later) the only answers i have really been given from gm are answers i have had to call and press them on, which for the most part is almost no information at all. i am sure they are being inundated with complaints and having to deal with the media, congress, nhtsa, but i cannot feel any empathy or sympathy for that matter, when they have had years to deal with this and simply swept this under the rug. harsh and swift action must be taken to punish them and set an example to all others. enough with the bail outs. time to start being accountable. *tt
