just from reading it seems head was toast before your initial radiator repair >.<

 

i am having internet problems... sorry. the water sloshing noise was weeks after the accident though... the dealer originally thought it was an air bubble in the coolant, but it was the head gasket!?!?!?!?!

thanks

 

DATS some hooooot **** man!

 

it was hot. Trust me.



Oh, I forgot to tell you all my a/c condenser was destroyed too. When it was on blue, the air was hot. When the adjuster was on red, it was cooler!?!?!?!?!?!!!

 

I'm suprised it didn't shut itself off . I would have thought it would have atleast went into limp mode.

 

you tell them that your car is not leaving there dealership until everything is fixed like new. That sucks bro. I would try and lemon that but i think the rule is you have to give them 3 times to try and fix it. Annoy the **** out of them that way they dont want you back and fix everything right.

 

i was thinking it could have been an air pocket. at 300* i think it would run funny. i dont think it would even operate normal. but i could be wrong.

 

get yourself educated on lemon law and go in there and just load them with info. scare them and prove to them that you kno wht ur talking abt and they cant take advantage of you. Be like, bitch, you have one more shot to get this rite or its your ass on the line and i get a new car =)

 

did the same thing when i had my LT. did $1300 worth of damage. left a hole in my radiator and destroyed my ac. the dealership found fur all over it.
but my car's temp light would come on. so i had to keep pulling over to let it cool off before i would go again.
it you did hit an animal and thats why your car ran hot, you can get your insurance to fix it.

 

my dealership already hates me.... if they didn't know me this well, i would have been driving my car around with a blown head gasket

if you read earlier it was a lemon, and i was going to the dealer, but i had the accident... so i just closed the case i WILL talk to them about it.... even though it has been in an accident, of sorts, can it still be defined as a lemon in Florida????

i hit a rock, not an animal, thankfully..... i guess

when i got back to seabreeze, i turned her off, then she would not start again...... had to tow her....i should do that more often now, it can be cheaper than gas!?!?!?!?

 

I noticed one of my fans weren't plugged in when I picked up my car. You would think they would have caught that on the predelivery inspection. But nonetheless i noticed an unplugged cord and brought it back.

 

in jan, i was cleaning my engine compartment, when i noticed that my bumper had duct tape on the inside, i peeled it off. my bumper fell. i brought it to the dealer and made them fix it. has your dealer done that to you?????? like i will always say, my dealer hates me... i am truthfully down there at least one time a week, sometimes two; they never fix anything right for me.....the bumper not lining up against the hood was my lemon problem, along with my spoiler's paint the first time, and it coming off the second time...

 

No man, that sounds really bad. My dealer has been ok so far. Since it is still under warranty perhaps try finding a different dealer.

 

the next closest dealer to me is really far from where i live. should i go to the pontiac/GMC dealer instead since the cobalt is aka the G5??

btw. the spoiler i am on right now is coming up too, i have not even been to the car wash...

(I like to wash my car myself, i do a better job, and it is cheaper, and i relaxes me)

 

pontiac/gmc dealer is just fine, i knwo i go to a pontiac dealer 30 miles away from were i live b/c the chevy dealer thats 5 milles away(same that sold me the car) sucks about fixing my ****

 

same here. i love my pontiac dealer

 

i <3 my pontiac. ha ha

 

thanks. my dealer hates me a lot!!! i am glad to know that i can go to a different dealer now. it relieves a lot of stress for me now.....

 

update for you all. NO MORE COABLT!!!!!!!!! now i have a mazda3 and am 10000x happier. link in my siggy for pics.

 

 

That's nuts, I thought I was running hot when my temp got up to 210 after some grandma decided to back up into my car and pushed my front bumper and hood in. Not to thread jack but does anyone know how to fix the air bag sensor? My Service air bag warning came on the DIC a couple of weeks ago. I dont know if there's one in the bumper area or if someone just kicking it loose from under the passanger seat, just annoyed with the constant beeping every time i start up the car.

 

actually my 2.2 usually ran at 235*F for normal operating temperature.

and i have no idea n the airbag sensor. i would definitely go to the stealer about that one.

which would you want:







when i was going home one day i saw my old cobalt and decided to whip out a few quick pics LOL.
