The car has been in the shop so many times for the same thing. When you drive at times, the car sputters and dies out and runs rough. It overheats and then the mechanic cant find the problem or anything wrong but I have to pay to have it looked at. My cousin bought a 2009 cobalt and her car has the same problems of dying out. The car is always in the shop because everything breaks down. I still owe on the car and its a money pit. A mechanic said my frame is bent. I haven't been in an accident. I am stuck with a lemon and its squeezing me.
