NHTSA Complaint #10521847 — 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ONE MORNING IN DECEMBER AT APPROXIMATELY 55MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY TACHOMETER WENT FROM ABOUT 2 TO 0 AND I WAS COASTING TO A STOP. I MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE THE CAR THEN JUST TURNED OFF. 55MPH AND MY CAR JUST TURNED OFF!!! WHEN I WOULD TRY TO RESTART IT WOULD START, BUT THEN TURN OFF AGAIN WHEN I WOULD PUT IT IN GEAR. THE CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 170,000 MILES, BUT ANYTIME I WOULD STOP AT A STOP LIGHT IT WOULD DIE. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE ANYTHING WRONG. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET, BUT THEY SAID THAT THERE WASN'T A RECALL TO BE ISSUED. I WAS ALWAYS AFRAID TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BECAUSE OF THE CAR TURNING OFF. I WAS ALSO IN THE PARKING LOT AT WORK AND WAS COMING AROUND THE CORNER TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE CAR DIED AGAIN! MIND YOU THIS WAS THE SAME DAY THAT I WAS GOING 55MPH DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAR DIED. IT TOOK 11 TRIES TO GET THE CAR TO STAY ON SO THAT I COULD GET IT TO A PARKING PLACE. ONCE I HAD IT IN A PARKING PLACE AND STOPPED, IT DIED AGAIN. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT YOU PEACE OF CRAP CAR PEOPLE. *TR
