So i finally got rid of the cobalt on thursday. Got to my girlfriends just as the heater blower motor was going out, squeeking real loud. Got out of the car and smelled something burning, opened the hood and looked and had some wires hanging rubbing on the s. belt. After all the rattles and everything on the car i said screw it and went and traded it in for a 08 F150 R/C. I would like to thank everyone who helped with any questions i may have had while owning the car. Thanks.

 

I have realized that the squeeks, rattles, and problems are just all part of the package.. I'm selling my car now too. I need something that I FEEL is reliable. I drive this car now and feel like its going to fall apart.

Its time.

 

Yep felt the same, last week i had the parking brake replaced and 2 weeks before that the muffler was replaced. Last time i buy a GM product for awhile.

 

Haha funny you should say that... Maybe I should stay away as well... Unfortunately, I'm looking at a C5 z06 or a C6...

 

You really have to beat the **** out of your car to have so many problems. 42k mi on my 07 SS/SC and it's running great.

 

i guess there are ones that last longer than others. no problems on my SS/SC even on bottle and 300+whp. have fun with your f-150

 

My LS is the most trustworthy car I ever had. I never have any doubts that she will take me any where I want to go.

 

My clutch petal squeaks

 

^^ fix it?

 

at least he traded on something AMERICAN and built in the STATES

 

did u notice any difference when u put on ur JBP Crank pulley

 

How is beating on it going to cause the blower motor to go out and other problems? The engine and tranny were good. It was everything else that was the problem.

Yes i will only buy american built. I think that all these import companies are what is hurting the car market/business.

 

Only thing I noticed was an oil leak...

 

 

Mine is the first NEW car ive ever had, and would say its the best car i've owned. But I only owned one car... Not a valid statement. Had I owne a brand new VW, i'd prolly like that better.

 

My first 05+ car I've personally owned and I love it. It's the little **** that's making me wish I would have gone GTO instead. I'll be happy again when I get it back from the dealer. Please no more engine reduced power crap, please!

 

so would u recommend it or not?

 

So in other words he's going to have problems and reliablity issues again???? Haha

 

Haha, as much as I hate to say it, Ford and Toyota are about tied as far as quality goes right now. I dislike Ford products though. I will stick with GM for a while and then probably go with something from Toyota beings they are the ones that give me my paychecks. haha.

 

Once the Cobalt is paid off I'm either going to look at Nissan, VW, or a used BMW... or follow a dream of owning a Chevelle (which isn't financially sound this day and age)
