this is easy....my cars been in for every thing!!!

HOW EVER I AM KING OF THE TRANS SHIFT LINKIGE BRAKEING!

 

Since July, Ive had the car in for the clutch slipping, which of course the day I can bring it in is a rainy one so I cant get it to slip for them. After I put the Ingalls on it has disappeared erxcept now I think the Ingalls is damaged.

But now after reading this thread, I realize there are a lot of flashes that i need due to the bucking syndrome and weird idle at times.

 

had my car since june got 4k miles and no probs and i drive the turd out of it

2.0

 

I had a 2.2 now I have a 2.4 no problems.

 

2.0

sporadic idle issue--solved with reflash*
sunroof switch trim piece--falls down while driving
muffler--glass pack was blowing out for a while, seems to have stopped
cruise control--didn't work from January to March then just started working again one day
paint--rub marks on doors and door jambs
passenger side brake light--blew out after only 7 months (wtf) taillight works fine
stock head unit--one time it took 5 minutes after the car was started for the time to display

*indicates a problem the dealer cared about enough to address

 

Ok here's the analysis of the results so far:

2.0 out of 81 votes 32% (26) problem and 68% (55) no problem

2.2 out of 30 votes 27% (8) problem and 73% (22) no problem

2.4 out of 22 votes 14% (3) problem and 86% (19) no problem

It looks like the 2.4 is in the lead so far as least problems, followed by the 2.2 and the 2.0 trailing (probably because the 2.0 is the most frequently modded/abused of the group).

 

This isn't going to come out right Just because more people on the site have one type of cobalt.

 

06 ss/sc only problem was cruise not working. dealer fixed it no cost. other than that so far the car has been grrrr-ate!!!

 

pooped a motor, reverse lights work when they want to, other than that im good with 69,000 miles on the balt

 

2.2 some problem had a sensor go bad twice got it fixed no biggy sliver trim paint coming off and passsanger window does not want to roll up so i need to take it in

 

no problems except for the p0171 code that i have been goin nuts about...cars been in and out of shop for the past 2 months and at the moment its still in there

 

3 days after I bought my car the sunroof broke and got stuck in the open position so it sat at the dealer for 2 weeks. And I used to have a problem with the transmission not going into gear but that has seemed to go away for now... *knock on wood*

 

I had no problems until about 2 months before it got totaled. It would just go into limp mode then die. Then 2 wks before the wreck I started driving it again and it was fine. Then yeah totaled it.

 

What's this wierd idle everyone is taking about...bc mine makes this wierd noise but i heard its just the sound the SC makes....and i also get this weird popping thump noise when i driving slow...it seems like the suspension

 

i voted no problem, but my sunroof button trim keeps falling off, but i dont really consider that a problem spacific to my trim.

 

Holy old thread batman!

Anyway, have had my '07 SS S/C for about 6k miles, stage 2 went on at 4500, no problems yet (we'll see what happens by 25k). Seems they fixed most of the problems in previous model years with the '07s. My sunroof bezel isn't going anywhere

 

my 2.4 has been a good car. never been to the shop for anything.

 

2.0L

Axels snapped (when i was stock)
Sunroof Leak
Foglight Harness melted
crazy idle

 

I love my '07 SS/SC, great car! No problems at all! Nearly 3 months old.

 

Well after being up for a few days it looks like this thread has told us this:

37% of people who voted have issues with their Cobalts... not bad I guess?

 

I have a 2.0 SS

The only problem I have had on it was the body control module coming out of contact with the rest of the car. I had it in twice and haven't had a problem since...Knock on wood

500th post!!!!

no real problems with my 2.0 but my sc seems louder than it should at idle maybe nothing ?

 

2.4L, the only problem I've had is a water leak under the rear drivers side seat. They missed a 3 inch section at the factory...

My rotors were turned twice, then replaced and have since been turned again. They are starting to pulsate yet again...

 

Had my 2.2 since July and havnt had any problems. No Sunroof problems or anything thank God!
