I know some of you have this problem. Happens when its cold outside and makes all sorts of noise on speeds 1-2.

I had the dealer replace the unit today and have no further problems. It was the tight bushings causing the noise.

Its free so do it!

I'll have to do the same then. I can't stand little noises like that

avro206

me too! Thats why I had it done--I paid for my warrranty so I will use it when ever I have to.

Beat my used car owning days--$8000 in three years on an 88 Camaro SUCKS!

GSoccer24

mine does that too

Mine too. I'll add that to the list of things that need to be done under warranty

What kind of noises ar you talking about? I occassionally hear it when I'm idling at a light, but nothing other than that, except for the ever so pleasing whine.

I had that happen once or twice, but it stopped. If it happens again, im going to have to go back to the dealer...

my noise occoured mostly in cold weather. Sometimes it was faint other time it was farily loud. The sounds themselves varied, from a sqealing to almost a ratttle or tick. Happended at any time during my drive. It was totally unacceptable ina new car.

Cobalt_Supercharged

Ok. I haven't heard anything like that luckily.

Same noise here. I'll send it to the dealership to get fixed eventually. I lost all trust in dealerships now, so I'm trying to only take it there for important things.

ok my car has been making a noise when the car is cold, just in first and second gear. it sounds kinda like my intake has like a crackling/wierd sucking noise. Is this the same thing thing??? And what was making the noise?

avro206

what gear your in should have nothing to do with it....

GotBoost?

so maybe it is the supercharger then??

Probably gear rattle. Mine does it when cold and especially when using the brakes...when you let off the blower quiets down a little.

Another thing for the dealer to look at along with my intermittently working radio

Mine was making that squealing noise as well. I had the blower motor replaced and now its down to a "ticking" noise. I'm not sure whether to try again or just live with it....

post looks a little old but i will try any way.......... My cobalt is no longer under warranty. i want to replace the blower motor............ anyone have experience with this? looks from what i can see that the assembly should just twist and pop out..... but noooooooo that requires a little more engineering, anyway, any input? thanks

Something similar happens to me. It's been in the 20 degree territory all week here, and my engine has sounded quite strange. Once I begin moving in 1st, the blower whine sounds incredibly loud, almost as if I am WOT. Once it begins to heat up to normal temp, it goes away. I assume this is normal, though.

trent_ky

mine was making that noise but i kicked something under the dash on the far right passenger side (sit in the passenger seat and with your right foot kick up under the dash) and it stopped...lol i dont know what that did but its quiet now and that all i care about

Hello,

I'm hope someone can help me. my blower motor when turned to speed 3 and 4 begins to sound like it is being given to much power because there is a weird LOUD humming and then when i drop the speed back down to 2 and 1 you still hear it.

let me try and explain this a bit better,
When i turn on the blower motor on speed 1 it sounds normal move it up to speed 2 sounds normal
move it up to speed 3 then i hear a loud abnormal humming move it up to speed 4 and it gets even louder

from there i drop it back down to either 1 2 but the humming continues but keep in mind it didnt sound weird like that until after speed 3 and now i have to completely turn of the blower motor and wait about a minute before i can turn it on again so i dont hear that weird noise on speeds 1 and 2.

If i turn it back on without waiting a min i will hear it.


Any ideas?
