I have worked for Tier 1 suppliers for the past 10 years, and I have personally worked on new products from all of the American OEMs, and they all have issues. You cant even say "well buy a Toyota or a Mercedes" because both of those companies have had several major recalls over the years. Look at a recent JD Power survey and you will see

Buy something from Chery Auto out of China and see if it doesn't make you think your Cobalt is perfect.

The clips I speak of are/were missing in the rear wheel wells but how the do exactly 4 of these clips in the exact same spots just fall off? Second its been winter, ya maybe they froze off Not a hells bitch slap chance!! I have never lost any other of these clips on any part of my car due to anything other then some ******* body shop, by the way they never touched the inner wheel well, only the leading edges!

Ok maybe something happend along the line but give me a break.. I love my car and the Cobalt as well amen!! Those clips by the way cost 31cents each by the way, and ya they do handle **** very well!! .. When you buy a car it better come damn well assembled by all specifications! What if it was a clip that did/had something to do with the breaks and you or gf or kids are riding in it?

The inner fender is held on by a number of these clips by the way but regardless the things were missing, they also do not hold the fender wall up as they just hold it a little more securely, if it was rubbing, which I did not say it was I would have gone back to my stealership and had it dealt with! I just thought it was normal the way it flexed the rear fender like that, hey after all its a domestic JK!!


So there you go, what you think is what you think. I'm just telling you all the facts, just the facts maam..

SORRY NO PICS, damn camera sucks poo

I think you need more smilies to get your point across

I would not be supprised if many new cars start showing up with similar problems...
this is exactly WHY the USA is having so many problems. What a good way to get their jobs back

When I bought my cobalt last year the whole freakin' fenderwell was missing on the passenger side. The car lot I bought it off of replaced it. This spring I noticed some of the bolts & clips missing, went to my local chevy dealership, surely they would have these items - the Service Manager looked at me like I had a horn growing out of my head for even bringing it up. He was clueless NEVER going back to those idiots.
