Well I've had my 06 ss/sc since september and have had no problems other than the weird idle which for wich they flashed the computer when I brought it in for the first oil change. But yesterday I was driving home, and shifted into third and the top of the damn shift knob came off! It looks like it's held in place by three small rubber clips which are broken. I took it to the dealer who has ordered a new knob but I'm still kind of disappointed who expects a knob to break!

 

be thankful you dont have a srt-4 lol. u would of thrown ur shift knob through your back window by now

 

Are they having problems with them? I test drove an SRT and the knob felt great

 

lol laughing really out loud.....mine did the same thing shifting into third. my dealer has tried ordering it for over a month and cant get it, sooooo, do what i did.....SUPERGLUE IT! works great, just glad im not the only one with this problem.

 

the srt 4 knob is pressed on so it feels tight when it is new but it does lossen and fall off.
there acttualy is a video of a SS/SC racing a SRT 4 and from the view inside the SRT 4 you can see the driver slam the car in to second and the knob come off in his hand it was pretty funny.
and my knob top came off too. i just glued it back on.

 

It's funny but when I changed the stock shifter out for the B&M shifter I couldn't get the knob to come off!!!!!!!! at all..............even after I sawed the damn thing in half I took a hammer to it and still nothing!!!!! I guess I got one of the good ones.

 

mine was made on monday!!!! ha ha

 

Funny thing is mine came off also, superglue can do wonders, hasent came off since.

 

I was thinking about super glueing it but I don't think I should have to for a brand new car so I ordered the new knob. I just hope that the new one dosn't break 2 months from now lol. On the upside I ordered an AEM CAI yesterday so all is good in the land of cobalt right now.

 

This was a problem on the Redlines also. There was a TSB # for it put out by Saturn/GM. Looks like the Cobalt is having similar issues.

 

they just don't make knobs like they use too.

 

Same thing with me, mine has been on order since the beginning of January and it still hasn't come in and the stupid service guy kept the piece from my shifter, y did i let him keep it?????

 

8 rounds of bare-knuckle boxing ought to settle it.

 

yup same here mine came off i superglued the **** outta it and hasnt moved an inch

 

i got an auto cobalt, but my civic had a knob that was threaded and you had to screw it on and off... i take it they don't have threats anymore? just cheap allen bolts

 

yeah i was with my freind in his srt4 and his knob flew off in his hand, and according to his reaction..........looked like it was not the first time it happened.

id be pissed if my knob came off...believe the dealer would hear about it!!

 

my damn knob came off too, doesn't help when your trying to sell the car either!! = (

 

I looked to see if this was a repeat thread...sure enough I found it. I thought I was the only one this happened to!! I was comin up on a redlight, and it changed back to green so I shifted into third and sure enough I hear something hit my door, I pull into the Sheetz to see wtf fell and hit my foot....I turned my light on, it's the damn knob!! I was pissed.... Surprised I'm not the only one this happened to... I'm going into work tomorrow and ordering a new one, just because its a brand new car, i shouldn't have to superglue the damn thing. It's under warranty and its convenient since i work at the dealership I got the car from. Still pissed me off though...

 

i superglued mine back on

 

well if you pull up when you shift thatll happen. it used to happen to me on my ranger. so i stopped pulling up when i shifted cause it screwed me a few times
