And if any of the guys that work there see this, I am sorry if I am a pain in the *ss, but I cant help it...

They just called to tell me that they checked my air filter and it was WET!! how the F does it get wet?!? It was a down pour this last weekend but it still should not be getting wet. They also said it had a couple drops of water in the intake and hoses.
I think that the place my air filter is located is Stupid as Hell and its a designer flaw... I think it is different in the 08's and newer.
So is he telling me that every time I run over a puddle of water or it rains that my car is gonna run like **** and the CEL come on??
It has to be that maybe they did not put the car back together right on Friday and when it started raining it got wet?
Any answers will help...

well small puddles no but the bigger puddles you should try to avoid yes. in the wheel well there is a small opening where water is prone to get into to and can be sucked up into the intake.

The air filter has been brought up so many times by them and other dealerships that have worked on it why would no have noticed in the last 6 months that it was wet with how may times they have checked it...
and wouldn't the car be running rich if its not getting enough air?? not lean... or do I have it backwards?

But that doesn't make sense, Why now all of a sudden when I have owned the car through 2 winters and springs...

Yeah that's crazy the air filter getting wet, unless there's a leak or a crack in your air filter box, your car is by far the most interesting with an issue well so far no one really knows what it is but a lot of maybe's.
It would be crazy if that's all that's causing was the air filter

I just don't get it.... I would think if it was the air filter that was causing it, wouldn't the car pull a rich code and not a lean code... Or does the car not do that?? And hopefully they put it together wrong and it just got a little wet...
I am so stressed out about this.... I don't want to be shuffled around dealerships because no one can fix it!

Lindsey is my girlfriend. I introduced her to this forum. And honestly I look at the cobalt as a girls car. Like the pontiac sunfire was. I don't race so I don't car what's faster. So don't make this a ***** messuring contest.
All I have to say with my knowladge in the car industry and what I have seen happen as far as the problems we have had with her slobalt ss. The first day she got it I looked over the car as far as wiring and was shocked they would alow a car to roll of the line with electrical tape hanging off wire loom in the engine bay.
Terrible. Just for refrance. my hondas motor is 10 years old has over 125k on the motor and I have never had oil leak from my valve cover... lindseys cobalt has like correct me if I'm wrong lindsey but like 20k miles on it. And the valve cover has leaked twice! I mean come on really??? I rest my case. Good day gentalmen.

None taken, I personaly think its a lemon. That one in a million. I wish she would just get rid of it. It would save the headache of her running to the dealership back and forth every week. So she can drive a rental for a few weeks. Its just anoying.

Ok really, lets all take a breath now.... Seth should not have got on here to say a ******* word about my car... I already know his opinion on my car, thats your opinion not mine...
This forum is for cobalt owners not anyone else...
And Rissa, you can keep your little opinion to yourself because what seth had to say about it wasn't accurate...
Its not the cars fault the GM tech's have not been able to figure it out and instead throw on brand new parts to fix it (not really solving the problem is it)... The car has had the CEL on for running lean, u figure the possibilities of what it is, pretty high up there in number.
Got the car back today. fuel trims sitting at a 9 instead of a 16 or 17ish where they have been while the CEL is on.
The light is currently off and they drove it like 150 miles today... The car might be fixed... we will see...
So lets just all be friends ok???

welll you know you can read forums without posting gay ass ****. go back to your lil honda forum and talk about how you like to wear chaps while big black men lube your ass and shove bbd's in it.
1 vote from me that you get a mature boyfriend haha
