| My 2008 chevy cobalt just started giving me problems april 2, 2011. i purchased it on march 15, 2011. i went to leave work and my car wouldn't start. all my elecrical components shut down on me and my key wouldn't come out the ignition. when i turned the switch it just made a clicking noice. so i just sat there trying to figure out what was wrong. so i walked away trying to get help. when i returned the radio was on and the car just started right up. also it doesn't pick up speed on the highway. at 65mph it seems as if i'm just barely moving. i feel as though this is an inconvience to me because i have to sit and wonder if my car is gonna start everytime i turn the swich. it has occurred several times in one day and i haven't even had my car for a month. i am highly upset. | |||
