-so far i have had to replace my front windshield(my fault, actually my stereo's fault, the mirror fell off about 3 or 4 time so the last time i put it back on i used 5 minute epoxy, and it took a big chunk out of my windshield b/c it fell off again) but the cloth is cut to short on my passenger side door, and my steering feels really loose, got an appointment for that.

-Sunshade stuck due to that stupid piece of foam put in a bad place. I ripped it off, been fine ever since.
-Parking brake light comes on here and there for a sec. Common problem, doesn't bother me, not concerned.
-The car in general makes several odd noises here and there. HVAC system is certainly noisy with the hisses it makes. I think the backseats rattle over bumps right where the metal latch is to hold them in place rather than fold down. Other than, there's just some small odd noises it makes in general. Music alliveates all! The cobalt has a very quiet interiour, so I expect to hear more.

-Rear passenger quarter panel has small imperfections in the clear coat.
-Side airbag wire in door was installed over the lift motor so that the wire was severed when the window was opened and shut a few times. Resulted in "service airbag" (fixed under warranty)
-Passenger side automatic window is slightly weaker than driver side.
