Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY 2006 CHEVY COBALT JUST ONE YEAR AGO, AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THE FAILURES IN THE CAR. ANYTIME THAT I BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN, THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO IDLE ROUGHLY. THE LIGHTS WILL DIM THEN BRIGHTEN. THEN THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I SLOW DOWN. IT HAS HAPPENED IN BUSY INTERSECTIONS ALMOST GETTING ME IN WRECKS. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED WITH MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND HAVE NOTICED IT IS NOT JUST MY CAR, BUT SO MANY OTHER CHEVY COBALT'S OF DIFFERENT YEAR MODELS. *TR
