Every other damn week my cobalt is in the shop!!! door lock doesnt work....cruise control stopped working with a big jolt threw the tranny and sent off a CEL....MAF sensor toasted...**** falls off! im tired of it we should all trade them in and just go get an 05 mustang gt....way better!

 

every company makes lemons

 

yeah they do....but unless one thing goes wrong about 6 or 7 times then you cant lemon it. The see nothing wrong with every part in the car going out atleast once.

 

What yr is yours?

Mine is an 05 and I've replaced every interior trim component at least once. Don't get me started on the drive train.

well i dont know what to tell you. i would look into your states lemon laws because that doesnt sound right

 

its an 07 I got it at the end of april...it is just so frustrating! Also every now and then I will just be cruizin down the road and it will start to lurch back and forth uncontrolably!!! I have no idea why the hell it does that!

 

Stop pretending its a 5speed?

 

Apparently someone doesn't know how to drive, or doesn't take care of it, or you just got one of those that has that kinda' problems!

I have had my 06 for 2 years now and only been in the shop for oil changes, the interior trim pieces, and the shitty brakes!

 

what the hell do you mean pretend its a 5 speed? its an 07 SS/SC of course its a 5 speed idiot. and you have no idea what ur talking about driving it bad....i can be goin a constant 40 mph down the road and it feels like it stalls the tries to get back up to speed. Its a very intense backward and forward motion

 

mines an 06 and not to many problems. Every once in a while My cruise control dont work then it just starts working lol. I hate the brake dust that comes from the breaks any ideas of where I can get breaks for the front that dont push that much brake dust onto the rims??

 

go get that cruise control looked at cause that is exactly what happened to me!!! I would push the cruise button and the cruise control lights up on the tach for a split second then goes away...yesterday i tried pushing it a couple times and all of a sudden it jolted forward a little bit with a thud in the tranny and the CEL went off. BS!

 

I haven't had any real troubles w/ my car asides from a broken wheel stud, and I've put over 40k on my car since Oct '06. And as for a Mustang GT......no thanks. Big, sloppy handling, gas guzzling and RWD meaning no incliment weather driving as a daily driver.

 

The cruise control issue is because you aren't fully letting off the clutch! It's a TSB at the dealerships!

Out of 10 times, if you don't fully release the clutch meaning you keep your foot on the pedal for that 1-2 shift at least 7 of the 10 times before 22-24 mph it will throw that code causing your cruise control not to work!

YOU NEED TO RELEARN HOW YOU DRIVE!

 

lol, go ahead and get a slow/heavy car. and its a ford!!!!! i smoke those slow things. have fun !!

 

yeah, all my buddys back home have mustangs and they all bitch about them. Ive had the same prob with my cruise control but nothing tht severe. My 06 has only been in the shop once for brakes and resealing of my doors/windows after it got hit in a parking lot and messed the alignment up.

 

Didn't realize your weren't an auto.. I think you need to finish high school first before you come on the boards with the big fella's. Your a little to immature for this car.

 

^^lol!

 

clutch position sensor is causing the cruise control issue.
they can wipe the cel off in 2 minutes, or you could do it yourself.

its caused by riding the clutch.


do you have an intake?

 

why is everyone jumping on me for being young and having this car. Its meant for younger people, appealing to the same crowd as the civics and rsx's.

MKulrey13, your a freaking idiot. Go drive your P.O.S. 4 door 2.2 and gtfo. Unlike half the idiots on here i've done all the work on my car, except for this shitty interior.

 

well. its been nice knowin ya.

but i doubt youll be here long with that attitude.

 

Im just defending myself from stupid unneeded comments.

I ask a question, and people tell me I can't drive. My friend and I have both been in the car when it feels like its sputturing out of fuel, then quickly overcompensating. It lurches pretty violently.

And seriously, someone is flaming me that spends money on Halo's and L.E.D's in their cupholders

 

newbs jk sucks your having all those issues.....sounds like a lemon to me

 

Well then take it to the dealer and let them figure out what is wrong! But once again, you won't live here long being like that towards everyone!

 

So what about the people flaming on me on how i should learn how to drive and that I dont know what im doin...I would be fine without any of those comments.

 

Then don't post a cobalt bashing thread...in a cobalt forum
