I had my cobalt at the same dealership and saw yours there. I was talking to one of the guys there and he was saying they have tried EVERYTHING to fix your problem. After reading this thread I can see he wasnt joking! Youve been through hell with this car. Im sorry! Fell lucky you still are under warranty! I just payed~$500 to have a bunch of electrical issues diagnosed and having my body control module replaced. It fixed the problem. I have a misfire too and asked them to check it out. They decided to check my coils but couldnt after they stripped the heads on the cover bolts..... I guess they were stripped before it got to them...... right..... I had to drill them and back them out with my easy outs. Gave me a deal on new bolts and a free re-diagnosis when I come back. Anyway, hope your issue is fixed! Oh, we have a more local club here at www.rockymountainecotec.net if youre interested.

Strange, I have an 07 SS/SC too and never had a problem with it... other then horrible cheap plastic all over the place its been a nice reliable car to me... It appears you have bought a lemon.

I dont think its a lemon.... It was the intake manifold that was causing the CEL issue.... I am hoping that it stays fixed... I love the car...

And I have full warranty (bumper to bumper) until the end of August so if it has anymore issues I hope its before then...
But then I have the power train warranty for 5 years or 50,000 miles... It currently has just hit 20,000 K.

I think Ill be fine, and I am not planning on keeping it for another 3 years...
I'll need to upgrade before then...

The 07 powertrain warranty is actual 5 year/100,000 mile.

If they keep fixing it and fixing it then they're doing a half-ass job at it then, your car shouldn't be problematic if you taken it to the dealer multiple times. Hope you get it fixed permanently before august then!
