Chevrolet Cust Svc is this covered by a TSB? This just started on my wifes car literally right after the warranty expired...so disappointed second stock engine failure on a stock ecotec right out of warranty.

I was already aware of the issue, just didn't expect it to happen to me right after my warranty expired....

Gm are total tools for not recalling the 09 engines.

I'm surprised they weren't.

Well it did take them seven years to recall something they knew was a blatant safety issue so...

Hey Folks, I have 09/08 built date on my 09 Cobalt SS. I have almost 62k miles on it and no check engine or losing coolant at all. But does that still mean I have poor block ? Cause I want to mod the bitch out of my Cobalt but I haven't put anything yet.

SSlobalt

I'd think if you haven't lost any coolant yet, you're probably OK. That being said, you're not modded and therefore haven't put much strain on the block. It's all a gamble, anyway. That's where that irritating "You gotta pay to play" saying comes from.

Picking up a 2010 SS tomorrow, it had the low coolant light on,, there was still coolant in the overflow tank and only needed like 1/8 cup to fill to the line and turn the light off, he says in all the years he's owned it he's never put coolant in and it has 130,000KM on it, theirs no coolant on his clean garage floor either.

Am I to understand that the cracked blocks were sorted out in the 2010 cobalts? and a cracked block is something that would have probably been caught after this long with that car yes? I'm just worried, as long as you guys know 2010's are free of the issue I'll get the car, but after reading on here I'm a bit paranoid about it all.

The 10's had the problem fixed, it's only 08's and early 09's that had the problem.

I haven't heard of any 2010s with a porous block, you should be fine.

It only affects 09's with a 08 build date. to my knowledge 2008's were never affected.

With Porus block when it happens ull know, cause ull be filling ur coolent every day. Some guys had it happen few thousand km after they bought it, some more. It can show its face at any mileage. But if ur up around 50k miles or more it's unlikely ull have it

SSlobalt

Yeah, I haven't heard of any '08's with it. I am so glad I have an '08. I wouldn't buy an '09 SS for anything and would be pissed if I owned one simply because the resale is really going to go to ****.

Cobe

**** I cannot believe I am just now reading this... My low coolant message has popped up right before I put her away. I have a 2009 with 70,000 miles... Now I'm really scared for this summer. damn dude...

nRRe

i'm about to rollover 50k miles on my 09. i should check the build date...

Cobe

How do you check?

I have a 2009 Cobalt SS TC build date 08/08 and I had a low coolant on my DIC recently. I'm the second owner and after driving about 10k miles I had the low coolant message. Refilled it with 50/50 dexcool and it hasn't gone down since. Does this happen to every 08 and 09?? My car current sits at 32k miles. What are the symptoms??
