******* awesome two oil leaks tpms system replacement and now my ******* shifter linkage(I'm assuming) just snapped. Waiting on road side assistance now.

Was going from 2nd to 3rd (passing a car so somewhat hard) and the linkage went bink! And now it can be moved around freely and I can't select any gears.

I love this car but gm is really making this hard.

 

well i guess your username fits then

 

sorry to hear that I have 19700 and I have only had rear break problems
you might have to lemon it out if it breaks 2 more times

 

Sucks, but I'm guessing this is what happened as it is common in the SS/TC's.

Very easy to reattach, unless it really legit broke, which is what mine did (the little cup thing). Best of luck.

 

Im thinking about asking the dealership to do GMS1 for free, or discounted for my troubles with this car or I make them take it back.

Any way you guys suggest approaching this?

 

I wouldnt see much luck with that but I guess it wouldnt hurt to try.

 

Ya theyll probably laugh at you and say .. What did you expect from a cobalt?

 

I just figured it'd be better than making them buy the car back lol. Because, I am starting to feel wanting to do that.

 

better yet i like the # of his post 69... i guess your 69ed..

 

lol.

 

lol not even close to lemon law....but ok.

ur under warranty and road side is free. I do wish someone made a upgraded linkage though. Mine is randomly hard to go into 1st and R. But no breaking of linkage yet.

 

That's all you need: more problems.


Stop NLSing, btw.

 

You do realize nls is better for the transmission than regular shifting correct? These post crack me up. The computer adjust rpms to the correct rpm. Without nlsing you Re going into a non adjusted rpm.

Also I power shifted my gto for 45k with no problems. If I can't use a feature that's advertised then the car is junk.

 

GM is not going to buy it back. Cobalts are entry leval econo boxes, if you take the time to go through the thousands of posts you will see your not the only one in the same boat. There are posts after posts of people having problems with their Cobalt. What do you expect for a boosted car for $23,000 new. You get what you pay for

 

Lmao wut????? Relax dude probably just your rollpin.

 

you also didn't have a shift linkage to potentially snap in your GTO.. can't compare the 2 cars like that

 

True. I didn't think about that. I'm just aggravated with the car. I love the car it's just being a pita and it sucks.

 

which is why your username fits soooo well. you brought this upon yourself.

 

**** happens.

 

Update: dealership just called me apparently the shifter is over extending and snapped the cable. They ordered a whole new assembly problem is the parts are on backorder with a tbd date.

******* awesome this is getting better every day.

 

so what, your car less un tell they get new ones?

 

Shift happens bhahahaha jk been there done that. i broke mine shifting hard from 3rd to 4th then i had to push it about a mile out of the drag strip because they were about to close. i dunno if that make you feel any better lol

 

That sucks the Gremlin's just wont leave.

 

I am going after work to get a loaner vehicle.

 

John force up in this bitch ...
