• Recall 2015010 [Canada]: Steering
  Certain vehicles equipped with electric power steering may experience a sudden loss of power steering assist that could occur at any time while driving. If the power steering assist is lost, a message is displayed on the driver information centre and a chime sounds to inform the driver. Steering control can be maintained, as the vehicle will revert to a manual steering mode, but will require greater driver effort. The sudden change in steering may increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: dealers will affect repairs as necessary. Note: this recall is an expansion of recall 2014-104 for vehicles that may have received defective parts through prior servicing for recall 2010-059.

• Recall 2014126 [Canada]: Other
  On certain vehicles, a defect may allow the ignition key to be removed from the ignition switch when the key is not in the "off" position. This could result in unintended vehicle movement if the transmission is not in the "park" position (automatic transmission) or not in the reverse gear with the parking brake engaged (manual transmission), and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: dealers will replace the ignition lock cylinder and/or ignition key.

• Recall 2014038 [Canada]: Electrical
  On certain vehicles, a defect in the ignition switch could allow the switch to move out of the "run" position if the key ring is carrying added weight or the vehicle goes off-road or is subjected to some other jarring event. The timing of the key movement out of the “run” position, relative to the activation of the sensing algorithm of the crash event, may result in the airbags not deploying, increasing the risk of injury. Correction: dealers will replace the ignition switch. Note: until the correction is performed, all items should be removed from the key ring.

• Electric power steering failure investigation # PE10005

  In a march 1, 2010 letter, general motors corporation (gm) provided a defect information report to nhtsa regarding a problem that could result in sudden loss of power steering assist in certain model year (my) 2005 through 2010 chevrolet cobalt and my 2007 through 2010 pontiac g5 vehicles equipped with electric power steering (eps).The letter indicates that the loss of steering assist could occur at any time while driving and that, once assist is lost, a message is displayed on the driver information center (dic) and a chime sounds to inform the driver.The letter further states that steering control is maintained in manual mode, "but would require greater driver effort at low vehicle speeds."in the next ignition cycle, power assist is typically regained and the dic message is no longer displayed.Gms letter identifies the root cause of the eps failure as the eps motor and indicates that production of a new motor started in december 2009.Gms recall repair procedure instructs dealers to replace the eps motor in all recalled vehicles. Odis analysis of all information available related to sudden loss of eps assist while driving in the my 2005 through 2009 chevrolet cobalt vehicles shows current complaint and warranty rates of 323/100,000 vehicles and 0.4% respectively.In response to odis request for information, gm identified 81 complaints where a crash was claimed that may be related to loss of eps assist.Odis analysis of all crash claims was based on verifiable factors such as; whether a loss of eps was indicated at the time of the crash by a chime or malfunction indicator lamp or if a eps related component malfunction was identified after the crash occurred.With this method odi identified 36 possible crashes related to eps failure.Gm assessed crash claims based on the available facts and excluded crash claims that indicated that the vehicle was travelling at speeds in the range of 30 mph or greater.Gm said that it believes if power assist is lost while a vehicle is moving at speeds in the range of 30 mph or greater there is a small difference in steering efforts perceived in subjective evaluations at those speeds and it is unlikely to lead to loss of vehicle control. Based on gms safety recall, this investigation is closed.

Fuel lines are rusted where the heat tape is around them by the exhaust. This has caused them to rust and no is leaking fuel. I am worried that it's going to catch fire. This is my daughter's car and is a very poor design.

The contact owns a 2006 chevrolet cobalt. The contact stated that after turning off the vehicle, there was an abnormal fuel odor coming from the vehicle. Upon inspection, the contact discovered severe corrosion on the rear driver’s side undercarriage of the vehicle. Due to the rust, the fuel lines started leaking. The local dealer was contacted and informed the contact that the vin was not under recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 126,000.

There is a recall for some vin numbers on the 2006 chevy cobalt (recall # 09v419000). My vin number was not included but the exact recalled part was also defective on my car. I wanted to let you know because there are probably several more vins that should be included in this recall, as my car is proof of that.

Fuel line leak by left rear wheel well. Heat shield seems to capture moisture and has rusted line by clip. Results in fuel leak by exhaust system.
