Alright, I bought my 2005 Cobalt LS Coupe around six months ago with 60,000 miles on it.
Currently it has around 65,000 miles on it.

I've had new front tires put on right when we bought it
new brake pads and rotors about 750 miles ago.
new blower motor and belt tensioner 2 weeks ago.

I got rear ended about 4 months ago - the car went underneath mine and really only damaged the bumper and trunk cabin. total for the repairs was around 2000 (insurance covered)

Anyway, thought I'd include that incase it was needed.



We took the car in two weeks ago because of a high-pitched squeak coming from the car when it would shift. Usually only from 1st - 2nd - 3rd I could only hear it. The dealer said it was the belt tensioner so they replaced that and also the blower motor because it would click on levels one and two (thank god -- was extremely annoying)

Anyway, they did that and got all the squeaks out they said, except for a small one which they couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Alright not a big deal, whatever.

However now -- ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING FROM PARK TO REVERSE AND THEN TO DRIVE -- there is an embarasssing loud ass squeak / squeal / chirp coming from who knows where. It usually does it right before I stop while in reverse, as soon as I start to take off in drive, and usually once more while accelerating.

This is extremely embarassing, annoying, and I won't even roll the windows down when other people are in the car! I've talked to several people and they don't really know where to begin so I was wondering if anyone could give us a few places to look at to see what the hell is wrong with this thing.

Added Thought: I noticed that when in park and I had my door open and was getting **** from the back of the car.... if I were to press on the brake it would make a "tweet" noise. Kinda like a short two-count chirp, just like a cuckoo. I'm wondering if this has any significance as well?? It's really irritating and I think it does this when I'm driving too... I've noticed it at lower speeds (15-25mph with the windows down).




Also has anyone had any problems with when you have your directional on and you turn and it makes a loud click/pop noise and doesn't turn off so you have to manually do it yourself? What would be the cause / cure for this?


If this can't get fixed I'm afraid I'm gonna have to get rid of the car and lose out on a lot of money and get something different 'cause I can't take this anymore.


Thank for your help in advance!

 

Get someone to move the car back and forth to pin point the noise ,if its as loud as you say then it wont take to long to localizs it.
Could be alot of thing(sticky brake caliper,springs not seated,your spare tire loose in the trunk sqeaking etc)
Post back when you figured out where exactly the noise is coming from.

For the other problem
The turn signal arm is buggered and will nost likely need to be replaced.

 

Alright, sorry for the delayed response. Been busy over the holiday.
Anyway... tonight moved the car back and forth, side to side and up and down. None of the squeaks were made. So it must be something more internal than the struts / shocks.

When I press down on the brake it sort of chirps. This would be the caliper, right?
