Consumer Description

I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR..2010 CHEVY COBALT WITH 176,000 MILES TWO WEEKS AGO WITH ALL OF THE MONEY THAT I HAD. I NOTICED THAT IT HAD A DEALERS TAG, BUT HE WANTED TO MEET ME AT A STORE AND CLAIMED THAT THE CAR WAS PERFECT.DAY TWO IT STALLED & HAS CONTINUED TO RANDOMLY STALL & WOULDN'T START TIL THE 3RD TRY. I TRIED, BUT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO CONTACT THE SELLER. AUTOZONE SAID IT HAD 17 CODES, BUT COULD JUST BE THE C20? SENSOR. THEN LAST NIGHT IT WOULD START, ACCELERATING TO ABOUT 5 MPH,THEN STALL & I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME FROM A BUSY AREA, AND NOW IT WON'T TURN OVER OR START AT ALL. IM A GRANDMOTHER ON MY OWN WITH A PART TIME JOB AND HAVE NO MONEY LEFT FOR REPAIRS OR TO START ALL OVER. I'M HOPING THERE'S A RECALL THAT COULD HELP.I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIND THIS MAN AS THE TITLE HAD ANOTHER PERSONS NAME ON IT, NOT THAT IT WOULD DO ANY GOOD.
