  1. Transmission
    I took my 2010 automatic cobalt into a transmission shop for troubleshooting. It has been shifting poorly in the lower gears and stalling at stops unless I manually shift instead of using D (Drive). At first they told me the battery was bad, which made sense since the car had been sitting a long...

    I jumped in my 09 Cobalt the other day and went to crank it but it didn't start up so I grabbed the wife's car and headed to work. When I got back I couldn't use the key fob to open the doors. Stuck the key in and open the doors and received lots of fun honking from the anti-theft system. The...

    Hey guys, I have a 2009 Pontiac g5, 2.2 ecotec, 5 speed, 2 door, all stock. I've been racking my brain trying to figure this out and my research hasn't really led me anywhere useful. From what I've been able to figure out there is a parasitic drain coming from my BCM, but it's erratic. Here's...

    I have a Chevy cobalt which I removed the battery to replace. When going to replace the battery I soon found out that I cannot open the trunk with the key because the lock is seized up and I cannot use jumper cables because there is not a battery connected in the trunk. How else am I able to...

    I bought a used 2010 Chevy Cobalt LT (20, 500 miles) last year and have been experiencing problems with the battery intermittently dying. I have tried replacing the battery. A voltmeter revealed that there is a current draw on the battery even when the car and all accessories are completely...

    So a few weeks ago, I swapped out my steering wheel, and had to unhook the battery. I knew the computer was going to reset and read the relearn process somewhere. I let it idle, and drove it hard on the road and highway for a while so it could relearn my driving style. But now on the highway...
