Either take it to a different dealership or lemon law that ****. It sucks, but to have problems like that, you deserve better. Either get reimbursed for a new Cobalt, or get your money back and buy an STi.

**** dude, clean it up and trade it in.

Seriuosly, I don't know about that. The recurring safety problems are bullshit, that car is unsafe to drive. Call GM and bitch. I dont have the number to customer relations anymore, but get it from your dealer.

check and make sure you are still under warranty. if you are you should still be able to get help. i'm most likely gonna file a lemon law on my brakes.

type ny lemon law and see what you can get.
