While a large settlement occurred regarding the ignition switch, it's crucial to understand that it didn't cover every potential problem a 2006 Cobalt owner might have experienced. Other issues, such as engine problems, transmission failures, or electrical faults, might have had separate, smaller lawsuits or might not have resulted in class-action litigation at all.
To find out if a class action might relate to *your specific* 2006 Chevy Cobalt problem, you'd need to:
* Specify the problem: What exactly is wrong with your car?
* Search online legal databases: Websites like Westlaw or LexisNexis (subscription required) contain detailed legal records. You could also try searching for relevant information on websites specializing in class-action lawsuits.
* Consult with a lawyer: A personal injury attorney specializing in product liability will be able to tell you if your problem falls under any existing settlements or if it might be grounds for a new claim.
In short, while a major class action existed for the Cobalt's ignition switch, it's not a blanket solution for all issues. You'll need to research your specific problem to see if it was part of any litigation.
