Premature Rotor Failure
2007 Chevrolet Cobalt
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Chevrolet dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2007 Cobalt inherited most of the problems from the 2005 and 2006 model years, but toned them down (a bit). Sure, the power steering still fails and the car has a chance of going up in flames due to a cracked fuel tank, but it’s not as prevalent as the older models. At least not yet.
In 2012, the Cobalt was recalled for gas tank fires but only for owners in certain states.
Then in 2014, the 2007 Cobalt was part of a massive GM recall due to a defective ignition switch that could cause the airbags to not deploy during an accident. The problem led to 13 deaths, government investigations and multiple class-action lawsuits.

I have had my '' brakes'' fixed 5 times in 8 months there"s no possible way for that to happen without a defeact!! Brake pads replace all 5 times rotors 3 times! The $550 is what Chevorlet charged the last time and said that we never changed the back brakes so it was causing the front to continue to go out!! Well apparently B/S B/C it is happening again 3 wks later!!!!! i refuse to pay for another brake change all in all i have spent about $1300 on brakes and rotors for my car in 8 months!!! Im callin GM tomorrow and telling them to fix this problem, i refuse to spend another $1000 for more brakes or rotors!!! Chevorlet Colbalts r made very cheap and they suck!!!
