Common Problems with cobalts (Everyone Please!)
Tbanks for all the replies with the "Stock vs. Modded" thread! Here's a new one!
So what seems to be the most common problems with cobalts? Not a one time thing, but what do you guys hear about most often. This is for Truedelta, which is a new-ish site that is provideing detailed reliability reports. It goes way above and beyond something like the magazines and publications that are out, as the results are from real users that report on what really happens with their car.
For those that are not members of the survey panel of truedelta, if you can post with the problem, year and model of car, and what the cost was to fix (if not covered under warranty) i will update the info.
Thanks guys!

Sunroof Bezel falling out --Twice in a year & a half. It fell out for the second time today... Under Warranty.
Sqeaky rear deck when going over a bump. Still have to take it up to Chevy to fix.
Sqeaky sunroof shade, but if moved forward (when roof is open or closed) it stops. Still have to take it up to Chevy to fix.

random "mystery vibrations", Which I'm told have to do with the factory sub???? (would've thought that got fixed in quality control and testing but...) Had the sunroof bezel fall out a bunch of times until it was recalled and a new one was put in. Stock interior paint peeled faster than a slutty banana and the squeaky deck thing I've heard a LOT, haven't had it thank god, but heard it a LOT.

ROLL PINS, and the sunroof bezel, which was a pretty easy self-fix. Then yeah the weak interior paint. Those are my only complaints, and I've heard of a decent amount of other people with the same problems. This is on my 05 SS/SC

I had my rotors warp when I put on aftermarket wheels. The dealer said that it was probably because the lugs were torqued down too hard. But the shop I had do them torqued them to spec. I had them resurfaced and they warped again within 6 months, so I bought aftermarket ones. (2005 base coupe)

Both of you know the car is governed right? Of course it shuts off.
Anyway, my ebrake is weak as hell. It won't hold the car in my driveway which has a slope to it. Talked to the dealer about it and they said there was nothing wrong with it.

The Fifth gear in my car stripped out. It wasnt my fault, when i brought it in, they said the inside of the trans chipped off and fell into the gear or something, this was like 2 months after i got my car.
