NHTSA Complaint #10595704 — 2009 CHEVROLET COBALT

I WAS TRYING TO TURN MY CAR ON AND I KEPT HEARING A CLICKING NOISE. THE CAR WOULD NOT START NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I TRIED TO RESTART IT. I WAITED ANOTHER FIVE MINUTES IT STARTED AND AS I WENT TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. I PUT THE GEAR BACK INTO PARKING AND THEN TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, EVERYTIME IT TURNED ON IT WOULD SHUT OFF AS I PUT THE GEAR INTO REVERSE. SO AS I TURNED THE CAR ON AGAIN I WENT FORWARDS TO TURN OUTWARD FROM THE PARKING STALL AROUND THE CEMENT BLOCK BUT THEN THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN AND I HIT THE CEMENT BLOCK WHICH LEFT A DENT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY CAR. WHEN DRIVING TO WORK IT SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD ON MY WAY TO WORK. I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENED AND THEN IT JUST SHUT OFF. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO GET SERVICED BY THE DEALERSHIP, I PAID FOR A VEHICLE INSPECTION. THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO SCHOOL AND MY CAR WOULD NOT START I WAS STUCK IN A PARKING STALL AGAIN. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO BRING THE CAR IN, I TOLD THEM IT WAS NOT RUNNING AND IT NEEDED TO BE TOWED BY THEM BECAUSE I HAD JUST TAKEN IT IN. THEY TOWED IT AND KEPT THE CAR. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED AND THEY HAD NOT GOTTEN TO IT. THEN THE THIRD DAY I CALLED AND THEY STILL DID NOT GET TO MY CAR. FINALLY ON THE FOURTH DAY I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I HAD A RENTAL AND WAS PAYING OUT OF POCKET. THEY THEN TOLD ME IT HAD TO DO WITH THE CLUTCH AND THAT I HAD TO REPLACE IT. SO I DID, I HAVE THE RECEIPTS. A FEW DAYS LATER, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TRIED REPLACING THE BATTERY. IT HAPPENED AGAIN, I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS FAULTY WIRING ALL ALONG AND THAT THE WIRES LEADING TO THE POWER OF THE CAR WERE LOOSE AND RUBBING AGAINST THE IGNITION CAUSING THE CAR TO TURN OFF AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT. MONTHS LATER THE CAR SHUT OFF AGAIN. I SPENT A LOT AND HAVE ALL RECEIPTS AND EXACT DATES, I HAVE SINCE STOPPED DRIVING CAR. *TR
