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.

My cobalt was dying at random in traffic. Has the Throttle body assembly replaced, fuel system cleaned etc... Then one day everything just shut down..like I didn't have a battery in a car. Couldn't even turn the ignition off, or shift into neutral to push it...no trunk pop, dome light, door locks...nothing! This will even happen while driving, disabling the air bags and your onstar system. it is VERY dangerous. After a LOT of money and several shops, it appears to be a bad pcm. Considering the PCM regulates power to pretty much EVERYTHING in the car, this seems logical. And the diagnostic sends a code back saying "PCM UNABLE TO RETAIN MEMORY" what you are experiencing, is the pcm trying to reboot. this cuts everything off. costs around 800 dollars to repair
