The 2006 added it’s own special flare with gas leaks due to cracks in the “return portion of the modular reservoir assembly.” A recall of 2006 Cobalts was issued to fix the problem, but only to vehicles sold in or current registered in Arizona and Nevada, leaving other owners to pay for repairs themselves.
Ok....here's the problem with the 2006 Cobalt (and likely later models) which Chevy will deny. 1) The computer fails between 10,000 and 50,000 miles. 2) IF you purchased a real good diagnostic unit, Like a CAN OBD2, then you will get a reading, communication failure with Bus 2. This means, your computer is not communicating correctly. Replacing the computer DOES NOT fix the problem as the new unit will fail. It's designed to fail.
Now the SCUMBAGS at Chevy know this....but they will never tell as this model has been recalled so many times for so many reasons, they really should give everyone who bought this car new (or used from one of their dealers) a new car.
Not really much you can do, as the computer failure will cause bucking and kicking in the transmission at both low and high speed as well as loss of power steering when you come to a full stop. You will hear a clicking noise from the transmission as it constantly tries to reset itself.
Best thing to do with the car? Get a gallon of gas, throw it in the car and light a match.....I would do it on your local Chevy dealers lot. The car is a LEMON and Chevy knows it.
