I purchased my 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt from Vandergriff Chevrolet March 2008. Happy of my very 1st major purchase and my very 1st brand new car!! After 6 months of driving the vehicle, may car starts to give me hesitation and stalling with jumping RPMs. Since then I would go to service at every oil change and report problem. They could never duplicate the problem. A service manager, Mr. Scheroder, even drove around with me and at the time the car didnt stall. Over the course of these 3 years, it took me until this year to THINK!! Just video tape it! i did, and finally... WE SEE THE PROBLEM!! hmmm? now you see it? 1st it was the torque converter.. replaced. Problem is still there, took it back, NOW its the transmission chip or something.. replaced.. problem is still here. I picked my vehicle up today 5/6/2011 and less than 5 mins the problem is still there. I have cantacted GM and I get their call center that is obviously no located in the USA then i have been assigned 3 different "district specialist" Kevin, Deongela, and now Victoria.. There was one more that I have yet to speak with about my Power Steering failing on me which caused me to wreck and get hit by an 18 wheeler but thats a whole different topic. I hate talking about b/c i'm still in fear when i drive just thinking about the hit. what if my kids where in the car? Back to vanderfgriff.. Overall, i will never buy from them again. I am the only person in my family that went to Vandergriff and we have 6 GM made vehicles. None but my death trap Cobalt has had issues. Back and forth back and forth. If they worked on my vehicle today.. why was my car so scorching hot on the inside of it? felt like its been sitting outside for the past 3 days it was there. I'm not stupid. I flagged down a local sheriff on my way home, asked his advice and he kindly witnessed the hesitation. I just mailed in my Lemon Law complaint and will make sure I am not going to have to deal with this Car and its issues AGAIN! I have to pay another certified mechanic just to inspect the work Vandergriff supposedly performed for me. ready for this to be over ...and to think, i was made famous by this car back in december 3, 2010.. headline news.. MANSFIELD SUPER MOM DELIVERS BABY IN HER CAR!! When i was on Fox news I wanted to blast GM and Vandergriff so bad but I said no kea.. dont cause trouble but NOW!! I'm determined. I will win if I don't quit and I'M NOT A QUITTER

Jayne Mansfield cruising from Biloxi to NO. Wiki says the car was a 1966 Buick Electra 225. A 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air with rubber-tipped Dagmars would have been more appropriate I suppose. :P

I've noticed the semi-trucks in CA have big steel bars that go down and then attach to a big square steel bumper. It's basically a hollow tube square or rectangle made out of steel. I think it's low enough that you woudn't decapitate the top of your car. I don't know if this is the case anymore, but back in the old days, there were what was called "East Coast" trailers and "West Coast" trailers. The West Coast trailers had the wheels almost at the rear of the trailer, so if you rear-ended one, you couldn't go very far under. The East Coast trailers had the wheels further forward, to allow for tighter turns. However, if you rear-ended an East Coast trailer, you'd go under it. I guess the most famous example of this is Jayne Mansfield, who was riding in a 1966 Electra that went under the back of a Semi in Mississippi that had slowed down because of mosquito fogging ahead. The roof of that car was sheared back almost to the C-pillar, while the front was severely caved in, and the car was even bent a bit above the rear axle, so I'd imagine it was traveling at a pretty high speed. Here's a pic of one of those protective bumpers, commonly called the "Mansfield Bumper" doing its job...

It took exactly 8 weeks to get my Nox. I ordered a front wheel drive 2LT with the chrome package. I received it Saturday and Sunday my wife and I took a 400 mile trip From Hamilton Ohio to Mansfield Ohio. To get a proper break in on the car, we took all back roads, mostly route 42. There were several towns to go through with many stop and starts. I’m writing this to tell you that you can get great gas mileage with this car. On this trip I got 30.5 mpg. I also took it up to 70 mph for a few seconds to see what it would tach at. The engine is only turning 2000 rpm’s at 70. Before you go out and buy one, you need to know that, to get this mileage, you have to drive it like a Toyota Prius; be patient and very light on the gas. Anyway, I love the car, especially with all the gizmos in it.
