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.

Cobalt 4-cyl

  • 73,000 miles
Started down the road and lost control of the car the power steering light came on and there was a lot of play in the wheel. I then attempted to get it back home where it was very hard to turn and the dash computer was all haywire not showing correct data. This supposedly had been fixed under a recall just 5 months prior to me purchasing.

Cobalt

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. The contact stated that the lights on the instrument panel intermittently shut on and off. The dealer stated that the light sensor caused the failure to occur. The warranty was valid until March 25, 2010; however, the dealer has not repaired the vehicle. The contact has taken the vehicle into the dealer three times in the past month. The failure has occurred since the vehicle was purchased. The contact is concerned about the safety risk while driving at night. The failure mileage was 56 and the current mileage was 18000.
