Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Clear coat on the front bumper is coming off really bad. The paint seems to stay on the bumper but progressively flakes off more every day. It starts as a small spot then expands like a virus. The underside of the driver and passenger doors begin to rust and are spreading to the outer parts of the doors and body. The interior lighting for the center-console (climate control) burn out fast and fail to illuminate the rest of the buttons. Seat belts wear out excessively fast and the buttons that stop the belt buckle fall out prematurely. -------- *this problem is found on the cobalt sport 2008 2. …”
