According to the IIHS, yes it does.

Nope Nope Nope...

I think its a Saab 9-3 actually. It could even be a 9-5. Definitely a Beijing Auto though judging from the grill.

Look closely, its not a gap. Its part of the grill.

Yep, the commenters really know how to buzz kill anything positive or fun...

The overly complicated bureaucracy, constant leadership changes in the later part of the decade and eventual bankruptcy caused this problem to fall through the cracks of old GM and get stuck in some subcommittee that never accomplished anything. The way Mary Barra is handling the situation now though is proof enough…

Why do you keep posting this over and over again?

What year is the Cobalt?

I read up, any lawsuits that correspond to something happening before 2009 go to the old entity that is in bankruptcy. Any lawsuits that correspond to something happening after bankruptcy go to new GM. Make sense?

What years the Malibu? Might help some of us who want to look into it.

As much as I agree with MaWeiTao, thats pretty funny. Also should be mentioned I drive a Buick Riviera and my grandmother owned a Skylark.

Their not hiding anything...

How many of the 13 deaths involved drunk driving? How many of the 13 didn't wear their seatbelts? One woman was drunk, not wearing her seatbelt and going 69 mph in a 25 mph when her cobalt crashed. Im sorry for all the families who've lost love ones but stop ignoring the fact that some of the 31 drivers arent entirely…

I believe her. Why would she lie? Its not like shes being secretive about the recall so lying would be counterproductive.

There's quite a few reasons why ttac became as terrible as it did. He's one of them. I also appreciate the coverage Patrick has been giving on the recall but his tone seems to be increasingly biased.

Do it. You have to live with the thing everyday so you might as well make it as bearable for you as possible. Those little things start to nag you and eventually that can lead to resentment and you really dont want to resent your daily driver. It got to the point with me that sometimes i'd pray for someone to rear end…

Actually, the 2008+ Cobalts got the new ignition cylinder. The part number never changed which is why theres confusion but its definitely the improved design that's going into the recalled models. My last car, a 2002 Saturn SC2 was reliable as hell but was having similar problems your cobalt was having. The entire…

Its shocking how huge of an improvement the Cruze is to the Cobalt. Still, ive heard outside of the crummy interiors, the Cobalt is mechanically sound. Honestly, if broken plastic doesn't bother you, it would probably make a decent daily driver. Atleast the 2008 and up models would make a decent daily driver, i'd wait…

Then why are they issuing a recall if their not responsible? Me thinks your not entirely sure what your talking about.

You must be fun at parties...
