problem #1

Oct 192016

Cobalt 2.2L 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 63,520 miles

When car sat, after battery was fully charged, for a couple of days it would not start. I had to recharge the battery. Took it into Chevrolet dealer and they said we needed a new battery. After getting new battery it did the same thing. Took it back twice after that. They could not find the problem, both times they kept the car for several days. (This went on for a couple of months). Finally I bought a Top Post Battery Master Disconnect Switch from Amazon for $9.95. Knob has to be turned 1/4 turn when car is parked to disconnect battery. It's been over three months and have never had any problems.
