dover Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Anyone ever owned one? My girlfriend is looking at an 06 or 07 with 40-50k miles. We are just trying to see if there are some known issues or what we should look for. Any information would be great. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Derek (turborust) says they're one of the worst cars ever made. My boss has one and doesn't mind it, but I know his has been in the shop a few times in the past year.. Sorry for the vagueness but I would look at something else.

-Alex- Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 They're basic transportation, throw away cars. Stay away from the ones with the multi-piece glass roofs, back when I worked at a GM dealership they came in constantly due to leaks and wind noise. GM's answer was to use washers to shim it wherever needed, which usually made it worse and the car would come back a week later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodRed Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Good to hear you stayed away from them. My Dad had one and had most of the front end replaced before hitting 15K. At 20K, the whole stearing rack had to be replaced. He dropped it like it was hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motozachl Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 roommate has one. i think its a total pos. sunroof leaked and it cost like 2k to fix it wtf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 wow those with the sunroof issue must not know how to fix them. The glass gets loose and you replace the pins with part number 11610765 and there is a plastic retainers if it is leaking along with new seal strips for each glass. After that never had a single problem with the glass. but yes they overall suck. I would rather have a cobalt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
