Chevrolet Cobalt Electrical Problems

leannemarie · June 2006

I don't have any issues with my ignition or anything like that; This is a reply from a post I made re: my Ebrake and high beam indicator lights flashing on w/o reason, and my CD player giving me 'ERROR".
Replying to: wallstfun (May 25, 2006 11:30 pm
thanks for getting back to me ~ yes, I brought it up with the dealer. the told me i was the only one who's mentioned it and the lights aren't actually coming on, so not to worry about it. obviously i wasn't pleased with this response, so i had them check it out and apparently they found nothing out of the ordinary. However, I have found on other forums that this is a relativly common problem for the '06.
As for the CDs, no, they were not copies (im aware some players don't like them). But I've also seen this happen in other cars.
Don't get me wrong, i LOVE my cobalt (and im SURE it could stand up to any import, its a chevy). I'm just concerned that I may have invested in a vehicle that will bring me the same issues down the road as the intrepid. I was hoping that by possibly finding other ppl with this issue, i can get my dealership to actually do something. tho what can you do when you can't find the problem?
I'm a little stuck on what to do from here.... :confuse:

wallstfun · May 2006

Have you brought the issue up with your dealer? I'm sure they can correct it. As for the cd's are they originals or copies? Some copies won't play. The Cobalt is a fine car that in my opinion can stand up to any import in it's class. We have 2 in our family and we've only had 1 problem with the key being stuck in the ignition. 1 has 17,000 and the other 12,000 miles. Like i said before you can always get a defective part, that doesn't mean the car itself is garbage. Give the dealer a call I'm sure they can fix the light issue.

I own a 2006 Cobalt LT. Currently I have 5,100 on the car and has been good accept for the key being stuck in the ignition. When this first happend at around 2,000 miles they changed my Ignition , sensor and selenoid. The car seemed fine for a week or so and the problem started again. Just by luck on my next visit to the dealer they had a field rep there when he overheard my problem he told them to change the whole shifter assembly. This fixed the problem. He even told the service rep not to waste time if any other customers had this problem just change the complete shifter assembly. Thought I would mention this since I see others have had this problem. Other than that my car has been trouble free.

On the subject of the vents building condensation, I have that to when I run the A/C on high. I did mention this to the dealer on an oil change and he said it was normal on the cobalt. That the vent design lets the dash around it get very cold causing the moisture to build. He said just watch the vent above the radio to take a tissue and dry it not to let the water run into the cd player. Bad design that we live with. It doesn't happen on any other setting but high.

GM has issued a TSB for the key stuck in ignition problem. It's 06-07-30-004C. It was last updated on 6/27/06. Indeed, the fix calls for replacing the entire shifter assembly. You can find this TSB on www.alldata.com/tsb. Should be a free fix if car still under warranty.

bill_sully · October 2006

Have the same problem for the sixth time going into the dealer today. last time replaced the shifter assembly, the time before that the ignition. Now the key will not gome out of the ignition and ther is no lock on the sifter, i can push it from drive past neutral and inot reverse or park. I am really pissed that this can not be fixed. Be careful it could happen to you.

:lemon:

jsherwood · January 2007

I had some electical problems with my 2005 cobalt as well. The headlights would not turn OFF - even when the car was off. It caused the battery to run down, etc. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the entire fuse block. The dealer said that this was the first time he had seen this problem & the first time he had to replace a fuse block. But he said it was not that difficult to do.

They also replaced the shifter - i was also having problems with the key getting stuck in the ingition. The guy at the dealership said that almost every colbalt that he has seen has had trouble with the shifter - they were cheeply made. But he replaced it and it seems to be working well now.

jrector74 · July 2007

I have a 2005 cobalt ls and it stalls out. The car simply shuts off while driving. It will start again when put into neutral. It is completely random. There are no specific conditions causing the car to stall. I took it to the dealership twice to have a diagnostic check. No trouble reports came back. Also, my cd player will lock and read error at times. The dealership as well as GM have been very cooperative, but have not satisfied me with my situation. They have both told me there is nothing they can do for me. Since it has been a recurring issue, at least once a month for over a year, I think I may persue a lemmon law issue. Has anyone else had this problem?

rlenker · July 2007

I have 600 miles on my new 2007 LT, I love it.
I can see the low fule message on the display, if I ask for it. I looked though the manual but see no other dash warning of low fuel. can I add one. Will it flash on the display if it gets lower?

roguewatchmen · July 2007

I'm pretty new to all this, but I bought a sub and amp for my new Cobalt. We grounded it to the wiper fuse origionally, but that didnt kill the amp when the car was turned off, so they grounded it to the reverse lights, this worked and I went on my way. A few days later I went to clean my windows while driving and it seems that grounding it to the reverse lights disables my wipers all together. I pulled both of the wiper fuses and both were in working order, a friend of mine said he could hear the relay clicking like it was trying to work. Anyone have any idea's on this? If I disable my amp then it works fine, I'm guessing that its drawing to many amps throguht he electrical system, the wipers have a kill switch for when they have to heavy of a load on them like snow, so maybe its causeing that to kick into effect. Anyone know where I should groud this at?

poncho167 · July 2007

Not sure about the wiring, but there are a couple other sites here where you can get info, post.

Here is one. It is called Electrical system groups & discussions.

ryanm1 · July 2007

My girlfriend has a 2005 Cobalt that she bought used so it has no warranty. She just started having the issue with the key being stuck in the ignition due to the shifter button not releasing fully. Does anyone know if the microswitch pin is very complicated to replace yourself? The dealership wanted a little under 300 bucks to fix it there. Does anyone know where I can get instructions on how to fix this issue or close to it? I can't even find a way to get the shift knob off without taking apart the whole center consule. I would purchase a haynes or chiltons repair manual for the car but no one seems to carry one in this state. Any help would be much appreciated, we are getting tired of leaving the key sitting in the ignition over every day. Thanks.

rlenker · August 2007

Dose the warning bell ring if your trunk opens,gas cap. low fuel?

cav_rider666 · August 2007

The Cobalt has a 3 year/60 000km warranty that is fully transferable to the new owner so the car should still be covered under warrant if it's under. I would talk to GM consumer affairs to see if this is the case in the U.S as well. As far as the Chilton and Haynes manuals go there is unfortunately no manual for this car as of yet. I have a 2005 Cobalt LS as well and the only option is the GM service manual (about 150$ but worth the investment).

poncho167 · August 2007

I suspect that they have exceeded the warranty mileage. In the US the warranty for 2005 Cobalts was 3-year 36,000 bumper to bumper, 5-year 60,000 powertrain. Now for 2007 it is 5-year 100,000 powertrain, but I believe still 3-36,000 bumper to bumper.

rlenker · August 2007

I got brave, and left the gas get low to the red line and it did go to a low fuel on the display and have a warning bell. with 1.5 gal left.

aase1991 · October 2007

I have a 2005 cobalt. The power door locks inside the car stopped working, but the remote door lock will lock the doors but won't unlock them. Also the security system activates whe I open any door to get in(lights flashing, horn blowing, etc). The security system problem didn't start until the power door locks quit working which makes me believe that the two issues ar related. I checked the fuse for the door locks and it appeared fine. I also disconnected the battery to try to reset the ECM. Any suggestions?

karrie08 · October 2007

Has anyone have any problems or know of any problems with aftermarket power windows & door locks?

Mr_Shiftright · October 2007

I've installed aftermarket door locks on two cars (from Best Buy, I think made by Viper) and they were reliable but perhaps a little bit slower than factory systems. Cheap to install, too. About 250 less than the dealer option for keyless remote.

No experience with aftermarket power windows except on Classic cars. Those seem to work fine but are pretty pricey and kind of a [non-permissible content removed] to install.

karrie08 · October 2007

Yea. If I get them, I was going to have a shop install them (if my friends don't think they can do just as good) but its almost $1k or $2k, I can't remember. Priceyy. I just want to make sure that I can prevent anything from wrong.

kmpa08 · November 2007

YES, jrector74 I have a 2006 Cobalt with 24,000 miles and it does the same thing as jrector74 2005 Cobalt does we are just driving it then stalls out and we put it in neutral and it starts up, but sometimes it stalls again and again then finally it runs and no problem. I thought it was water in the gas so we put dry gas in it. It just did it to me 4x going 1 block. Then another time going 55 mph, and another time in a parking lot 3x it stalled and started back up. I am taking it in to the dealer tomorrow, but they told me when I made the appointment it would have to do it for them. It has done it on only 3 occasions and I have owned it over a year. Has anyones dealer found the solution to this problem yet? Thanks

mathenajm · November 2007

My sister has a 2006 cobalt and has the key stuck in the ignition. The car manual states a low battery will cause the shifter button to lock, causing the key to stay in the ignition. The battery is low but she has no idea why since the car only has 15,000 miles on it. She made an appointment with the dealer for today but when she went to start it this morning it was dead. The dealership had it towed but insisted it should not be jumped or charged however the tow driver jumped it anyway. The dealership acted like this would destroy the car. My sister is awaiting further news on her car, so far they can not get it started and act like this is something new. I hope they can fix this because she really loves the car. I hope it's not a lemon.

cmhj2000 · November 2007

Keys being stuck in the ignition switch has been an issue on the 05s & 06, not aware of it being anything on 07s yet.

Have found with many cars that having excessive junk on the key chain has contributed to the issue.

pvanhouse · November 2007

I have the same stalling problem. It's happened 4 times...most recently at night in the rain on a 2-lane highway. The car suddenly stalls. I try to start it in neutral but the starter does not engage (headlights go off and everything else that's supposed to happen when you start happens...except no starter). Once off the road and stopped I put in in park...still won't start. If I turn it off and back on it starts and most times there are no problems. Once it ran rough and the most recent time it shifted rough.

Also...at times when I start it the windshield wipers turn on by themselves and run for a while before stopping. I can move the wiper switch but nothing happens.

Been to the dealer 3 times for all of these. Of course, it's never duplicated so they send me away.

Other than that it's a great car....much better than the Cavalier it replaced. Looks nicer, more power, better gas mileage.

kmpa08 · November 2007

What year is your Cobalt? How many miles does it have on it? Tell me if you call and what response you get from GM. It is so frustrating, maybe if enough call (thats a big IF) GM will take notice.

scottevil0106 · December 2007

Did you ever find out what caused the problem with the door locks and security system? i am having the same problem.

cmtracy · December 2007

hi, i have 06 cobalt, stalling issues completely shuts off and I am getting the run around with my dealer. This will be the 4th time back to dealer since July. No trouble reports came back either. My cd died and had to be replaced. Also had problems with daytime running lights. I live in Pa and can't persue lemon law cause I have 21,000 miles. I am so aggravated that the dealer can't pinpoint the problem. It started with the fuel gage not reading full. I took it in for the head restraint seat recall and am so sorry I asked the dealer to fix the gas gauge. It hasn't been running right since. I have to keep 1/2 tank gas or more otherwise I am taking my life in my hands driving the interstate on a daily basis.

The dealer is now ordering a whole new gas tank unit including fuel pump? So another trip back in a week or two. I owe too much money to trade it in on another car. Thanks

prnta · December 2007

I dont know if this is the right place, but im pretty sure this is electrical. First off, a few weeks ago, my car wouldn't start when i got up in the morning.. so i had to call roadside assistance, get them to get me and take me to the closest dealership, which is an hour away.. ok (oh, i have a 2006 cobalt). So i get ther,e i sit for 5 1/2 hours, missing school and work. ok, they said i needed a new battery, so they charged up my old one, told me to come back the next day. everything ran fine, im like ok.. well, two sundays ago, my check engine light comes on, after i am heading to edmonton (most of you probably dont know where that is, but its about 800km from me). so im going there, and all of a sudden my car becomes gutless and the check engine light flashes at me like 4 times.. whatever, i called the dealership they said to keep driving cause ther eis probably nothing wrong, cause the car ran good afterwards.. it didnt happen to me agian. ok, so two sundays ago, my check engine light comes on, and hasn't turned off since.. well, whatever, dealership told me to ignore it unless there was something phyiscally wrong with the car.. ok, fine. So i organize a check up on the car, just in case. (Jan 4th) So im driving around tonite, christmas eve, being bored.. and all of a sudden, my POWER STEERING sign turns on in my dashboard, and my spedometer quits, and everything is reset.. my trip counter, and everything, it just displays dashes.. well, this is getting quite annoying, because i seem to just have problem after problem ith this car... has this happened to anyone else??? anything like this!?!?!?! Thanks!

cmtracy · December 2007

It will be almost 2 yrs (in Jan) that I bought my 06. I just took it for the 5th time to the dealer for the stalling of engine. I had problems with daytime running lights, CD player died, 4 times engine stalling with no lights turning on. Sensors were changed and the last visit I had (supposedly the gas tank and fuel pump replaced)
I don't know what to believe anymore. The dealer is very nonchalant about it and my salesman claimed the did nothing wrong & my response they did nothing RIGHT! Also asked if I wanted to trade car in and I said I should get a 2008 with no loss on my end and they didn't like that either. Heard again that they never get complaints and I'm the only one so I showed them the Edmunds complaints, no comment. I did contact 800# at GM and if there is a next time, I was told to open a case with Better Business Bureau. I do believe I have electrical problems also.
I even chose the bare bones package with no electrical windows etc so I would have less problems! Guess that didn't work. I also made the mistake of chosing a dealer with inconvenient hours never thinking I would be there so much!

Contact GM and BBB to start a paper trail. In PA, the lemon law is 1 yr/12 months so I don't qualify, I have 21K and am concerned about our winter coming up in the next 3 months. I hope they get it right this time.

I love the dealerships responses, like I have nothing better to do & make this stuff up about my car, barely missing 4 accidents with this car stalling.

gerald41 · December 2007

For anyone with fuel gauge problems there is a TSB out on it. I had it repaired in my car an 06 Cobalt. The fuel sensor is defective and has to be changed. I would fill my car to the cap and 15 miles later it would read a half a tank. I had no confidence in it till I had it repaired. I was told by a tech that the 05 and 06's had many issues that the 07 and 08's had most problems remedied. I had the radio changed because they found a short in it and the Keys stuck in the ignition as well.

raydes · December 2007

I have experienced fractures in keys followed by broken keys. The car also randomly displays ''LOCK'' on the radio but the action of turning off the car and starting it again makes the condition vanish without any code entry or anything else. The 2005 COBALT recently stranded me when the one good key I had broke off in the ignition. The dealer laughs and says he cannot fix what is not broken as the radio issue will not replicate in front of him. The key problem is explained by the dealer as " the only time this ever happened in the history of all COBALTS and therefore I must somehow be at fault''. GM/ CHEVROLET apologizes heavily and frequently '' that I am not satisfied" but follows with a nice two step of bewilderment and a promise to call the dealer. I was told today that the dealer told GM that he was too busy to talk to the GM representative yet but a conversation was promised. I could be stuck with a non running, broken ignition key car in a blizzard but GM is not able to arrive at a point of communication with a dealer they have a legal agreement with. The problems with building small cars persist at GM and it is interesting that the competition taking market share from them in various U.S. product segments today was founded on building mostly notable small cars.

mongokg · January 2008

My 06 Cobalt is going thru the "shifter ordeal " in that I cant get the key out due to the shifter being broke . My problem now is , while I wait for the dealer to get the parts my battery drains cuz the clock on the radio wont shut off . I jump started it twice(once with dealer mechanic ) , the second time by my self (11 o'clock at night wouldnt you know it). This somehow created a whole new problem ! Now the dash says "Engine Power Reduced" and the throttle does not work . I looked this up in the book . It says this is happening to avoid engine damage . How do I fix this and why did this happen ? :sick: :sick: ">

ameliat · February 2008

I have a 2006 cobalt which i bought in Jan 2006. Since April 2007 my car has turned off 6 times. Once when i was on a highway going a 100km. Dealership says nothing is wrong. I told them i did not want to drive it because it was unsafe. He told me it was "my perogitive". I have been in contact with GM and they told me there was nothing they can do until the dealership recognizes the problem.

cmhj2000 · February 2008

I've seen and heard of a similar issue with several 05 & 06 Cobalts doing this. In almost every case it was the ignition switch not making contact.

Have found the condition is more likely to happen with those that have a lot of junk hanging on the key chain. Not saying you have a lot of junk on your key but that has been an issue with several cars besides the Cobalt.

ameliat · February 2008

Hi thank you for responding to me. When i first had this problem they told me that it was due to my keys and how many i had. so i removed all my keys except to turn the car on. Since than it happened 6 more times. It happened again last night at 11pm so i took it to the dealership this morning after contacting gm again. They put a black box in my car in june. this black box is like the ones they have on airplanes to record data if a plane has engine problems or crashes. this box however when you hit it records what happens before hand. I had the box plugged in last night so when the dealership read the data this morning they decided that for the past 10 months my car has been turning off because of a faulty throttle switch. i don't know if this makes sense. they are replacing the parts and guess i will have to wait and see. If anyone else is still having this problem i advise you to go to your dealership and demand a black box or call GM until they listen. Personally i'm not going to stop until I know they are going to do something to fix all the cobalts.

abren · February 2008

so, your cobalt was still partially on and it was okay to jump it?
i've got the same problem and ive been afraid to try it since i can't get the key out.

kuhl · February 2008

It now has 92,000 miles on it. I drive for a living, and this little car was wonderful for the first year that I had it. With new snow tires on it, it out climbed my husband's Suburban in the ice and snow. I did notice that, at night, when turning on the brights, all the lights went out. The next summer, I had a constant pool of water in the passenger side front floor, whenever the ac was ran everyday. It started dying on me at intersections, and slow uphills. In the fall, the shifter pin broke, and I was going out every 3-4 hours during the night to start it to keep the battery up for the next morning. I took out the console and manipulate it with the little lever thing. Then, the power steering stopped working when it died. I now have days when the locks click constantly, or just when I think I can hop out with it running for a delivery. Then, I am locked out. Now the power steering goes out when I am driving around a curve. It died on me today seven or eight times, in dangerous intersections, backing out of driveways into traffic, going up subdivision hills. I have called out of work indefinitely, to try and get another vehicle going somehow. I paid cash for this car, not enough stash built back up yet to replace it. I am just wondering if changing the throttle switch will remedy the dying problem. I have taken as good of care of this car as possible, I am feeling such disappointment. You would think a car you pay cash for would at least last 100,000 before falling apart. If anyone has had the throttle switch changed, could you let me know your results? Thanks!

colomjo · February 2008

I own a 2007 chevrolet cobalt coupe, i recently installed 2 10" subwoofer with a 250 watt amp, however the check engine light came on the car, sometimes it goes away, and sometimes i get the messages service airbags and power steering. why is this happening and how can i fix it?

kuhl · February 2008

I have a 2005 cobalt, and this same issue was only the beginning of sorrows. When turning the brights on, all of the lights go out. You have to jiggle the switch to get anything back on. The stereo locks up from time to time for no reason at all. Then, you might notice the shifter not wanting to go all the way into Park. Next, the engine stops getting a constant flow of gas, power steering fluid and engine oil. Mine is sitting in the driveway, with a $250 trade in value as we speak. Supposedly, they resolved some of these issues that they still haven't owned up to, for the newer models. My advice: trade it now!

charly2 · February 2008

Has anyone had any problems with the headlights on the 2008 Cobalt where they sometimes don't light up at night?

charly2 · February 2008

I would if I could, but to no avail. My vehicle was totalled because the headlights weren't on at night when I thought there were. I was just wondering if anyone had the same problem on the 2008 models.

bulldogg · March 2008

i own a 2007 chevy cobalt, first time the check engine light came on it was a fuel injector, the dealer replaced it. the car had 12,0000 miles on it. the light came on again this friday, now the light went off. Does the engine light have to be on for the dealer to find the problem? the car has the same problems hesitation, rough idle.

grosloup · March 2008

No, the engine light doesn't have to be on to find a problem. A similar thing happened with my vehicule.The "theft alarm system light" came on and when a went to the dealer the light was off. They simply plugged a machine under the dash and they had a numeral code that told them exactly what the problem was even if the light wasn't on.

bulldogg · March 2008

thanks grosloup!!!!

dmatheso · March 2008

Dear cobalt 06,
I am experiencing problems with my Cobalt as well. My biggest issue is the security lock flashing on my console when I go to start it in the morning. If I wait half an hour an try again it will usually start and then there are no problems until the next time. I've had it into the dealer 3x's with this issue but it starts for them and then they can't log an error code to identify the problem. My warranty is up, I'm tired of paying the dealer for nothing and nobody can figure this out. I've read through this forum and can't find any solutions. If there is anyone that can help me I'd really appreciate it. Other than that I love this car and thankfully haven't had any of the other problems some people on here have identified.
This is a great forum. Thanks for any help you can give me.

cmtracy · March 2008

I have had my 06 Cobalt at the dealer 6 times in past 6 months with electrical issues from CD playing replaced twice, key stuck in ignition, but biggest safety issue was the 3 times my car died on a highway here in PA. I had all my documentation, letters to GM, owner to dealer, emails. My problems started at 17K. I was so stressed and fed up I contacted our state's Lemon Law. In PA, the Lemon Law is 1 yr/12K but since my problems were recorded at 17K, I was able to get some free help. If you have the Lemon Law available to you, I know my attorney helps NJ, MD, and PA, please try to get some help. I thought it was a total loss for me since I was ready to trade in the lemon and take another big loss.
GM offered my free oil changes and tire rotations for 1 yr, BIG DEAL the car didn't run! I was so disgusted, I emailed the Lemon Law in my state and after a few weeks I did get some help.I received money for a down payment on a new vehicle and my attorney fees were paid by GM. GM did refuse to buy my lemon back of course, why should a big corporation take such a big loss. I could have lost my life. After the 3rd time my car completed died on an icy hill in Dec. I decided I couldn't drive it 50 miles a day anymore. Luckily, I proved my case and GM settled. I hope that everyone with 05 and 06 Cobalts can keep calling GM 866.697.7482 or www.gm.com. These cars should have been recalled. GM settled 3 weeks after my Lemon Law claim. Obviously, GM knew there is a problem. I appreciate all the feedback on this website also. The service manager was so rotten to me, I wouldn't buy a piece of gum from him. I always told the company line, "We never have trouble with cobalts", I guess my cobalt broke the mold here in Pittsburgh. I enjoyed the car, even purchased the extended warranty but the car never made it past 21K with me. Pretty pathetic for GM. Never again......

spartan3c79 · March 2008

hey charly . . .

i have a 2005 cobalt and i may have the same problem . . . .

recently (2 months ago) i noticed that oen of my headlights didnt work when i unlocked it with my remote. so i figured i need a new bulb . . then it came back on so i forgot about it.

NOW when i hit my unlock on the remote BOTh low beams come on . .like theyre supposed to . . but when i put my key int he on position and go to start my car they both go off. High beams both work . . . but not the low beams . . . i can go up and hit the driverside headlamp and it will comeon but it wont work for the other low beam.

it happens more consistantly now than before so .. . im also curious how to fix it because i dont think a bulb replacement will do since they both work . . .

if you hear anything let me know

joseph

spartan3c79 · March 2008

imlike my cobalt so far . . . i have 108,000 miles on it . . a lot of highway miles . . . im recently having headlamp trouble . . . did you have any problems with headlights not coming on . .? i dont knwo if i can do the lemon law since so many miles when it occured . . .

any help you can provide

joseph

gerald41 · March 2008

I had an 06 before it was recently totaled. I use to chat with the srvice manager while waiting for my car. He use to tell me that I was a lucky one that my Cobalt had so few issues. He said it wasn't till the 07's did GM get the bugs out of the car. I heard many with electrical problems , even my cobalt had to have the radio changed due to a short. If you do research on the net for TSB's ( technical service bullitens) you'll read alot of issues GM knows about on the 05-06 Cobalts. Never buy a new design car the first 2 years of production.

Thanks gerald . . .

yeah when i bought it . . it was totally an impulse buy . . it was actually a mistake but whatever. I havent had trouble with it at all really . . . i had to replace the MAP sensor and TPS sensor . .. but then found out those warnings were probably being set off by carbon build up in the throttle body . . but still i have 2 new parts on it lol.

other than that i really havent had any trouble with it . . just recently with the headlights . . and it has 108k miles so ive been pretty fortunate also . . . no other problems . .. the E brake light and highbeam display has come up once or twice but not for awhile.

yeah in hindsight i wouldnt have bought a new car at all . . . i LOVED My cavalier 1999 . . . i had NO trouble with it i sold it with 205k miles and got 3000 for it ha

well thanks again
