Consumer Description

2005 CHEVY COBALT --TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON DASH. LIGHT WOULDN'T GO OFF. KEPT HEARING CLICKING NOISES IN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT AREA. DEALER SAYS THEY CAN REPAIR BUT IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM ON MANY CHEVY COBALTS AND IT CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT CAUSES THE CAR TO LOSE POWER TO TRANSMISSION. CAR ONLY HAS 30,000 MILES. ORIGINAL OWNER. LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME. WE TRIED RESETTING THE WARNING, BUT LIGHT STILL REMAINS AND CLICKING SOUND STILL REMAINS. RECOMMEND IT BE A SAFETY RECALL. *TR
