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 am a retired auto tech(35)years and have seen junk like like this before,but not as bad. After the problems G.M. had I figured they would at least TRY to make something more dependable and safer. All they have done is add more cheep parts and charge a ton to replace or repair them, actually they have done a very good job creating a DISPOSABLE CAR. I purchased a cobalt for my daughter and she is afraid to drive it . One thing after another. But the front end on these things NEEDS a total redo. Funny the japanese auto makers rarely have front end issues
