Consumer Description

2006 CHEVY COBALT SS. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY & THE ENGINE COMES ON ALSO. WHEN THE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON THE CAR BEGINS TO SHIFT RUFF, BUT THIS IS NOT ALL THE TIME. OFF & ON. WHEN I HAD A COMPUTER HOOKED UP TO THE VEHICLE A BUNCH OF CODES APPEARED & THE SAME CODES DIDN'T APPEAR WHEN I HAD A 2ND OPINION. ACCORDING TO MY GOOGLE SEARCH THIS IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT WITH COBALTS. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE RECALL & INVESTIGATED WITH THE MANUFACTURER. *TR
