My cars engine has stalled several times today, it idles low when moving from a stopped position like at a stop light and when I give it gas it idles high and then when I stop or slow down it stalls in the middle of traffic almost causing a major accident. I was so scared today. I will not drive it again until I figure out the problem. I am glad me or my son didn't get into a very bad accident. When I purchased the car brand new it did this and I took it to the dealership and they could find nothing wrong with it, but it has never seemed to idle correctly.

I bought my 2006 Chevy Cobalt just one year ago, and immediately noticed the failures in the car. Anytime that I begin to slow down, the car will begin to idle roughly. The lights will dim then brighten. Then the engine will shut off. This happens almost every time I slow down. It has happened in busy intersections almost getting me in wrecks. I have had it checked with multiple mechanics and no one seems to know what is wrong with it. I have researched online and have noticed it is not just my car, but so many other Chevy Cobalt's of different year models.

Oil filter gasket not keeping a seal between the cap/oil filter holder and the filter housing unit creating a gap that oil leaks from when the vehicle is running. Loss of oil will occur and possible engine damage also. This is a flaw in the design of the oil filter cap and gasket and should be addressed.

2006 Chevrolet Cobalt randomly days, weeks apart in mid travel, at turns, near rear end crash with sudden loss of power 4-28-10 while wife driving 60 mph, and car slowed quickly nearly getting rear ended, car behind swerved to miss barely. An every now and then nuisance becoming an extreme hazard as power is lost, care stalls really quickly in speed in mid road. A lot of complaints online about same issue. If this was an interstate she could have been killed. Same has happened to me at least 3-4 times in one month. Taking car in this weekend, but none of the recalls seem to point to the problem.

I have a 2006 Chevy Cobalt which I have had for 2 years now and for the past couple months when I slow the car down or I am at a stoplight the car will stall! I brought the car to be fixed already and they said that there was nothing they could find that was wrong with it but replaced things that might help. Well that didn't work because my car is still stalling! I have a 3 year old and a 6 year old I cannot keep having this car stall when I am pulling out of somewhere in the middle of traffic any longer please get this fixed. Now that I have been on here reading there is obviously a power steering issue also so now that has me scared... obviously this is not a good car at all!!!!
