It doesn't matter of I'm driving at just sitting at the traffic light but the t/c, engine lights come on n make my car jerk like it's the transmission kicking back so in march 2016 it got so bad to the point I could no longer even put my car in reverse so I had to have a brand new transmission which cost me $1500 then the same day I got it back all the lights came right back and I've taken it several times to the mechanic and it gives him a p1174, p0014 code. I'm afraid one day while I'm driving my car is just going to fall apart with how badly it jerks but once the t/c light does go off it stops jerking and will drive smooth but the engine light may or not still come on and makes my car drive sluggish n the RPM guages go crazy like I can accelerate but the car doesn't seem to be accelerating.

I own a 2006 chevrolet cobalt ls sedan. This car every year like clock work has to either have a new transmission put into it, or has shifting problems. The car will be fine for about a year and then it struggles to shift gears and it will be subtle. Then it slowly starts to feel like the transmission is " slipping" when u reverse and then put it back into drive it slides back before it begins to move forward again. This car is only 5 years old but has had 3 transmissions in it's life time, and it's starting to feel like it's going for its 4th.

I own a 2006 chevy cobalt lt and recently while I am driving the t/c, security, and power steering lights come on and my power steering goes out and my car starts bucking and jumping like crazy. The last time it happened while I was driving 70 down the interstate and I almost crashed into the divider wall trying to pull over. It has been brought into the dealership 3 times and they have no idea what is causing it. I have already paid for a new transmission module which was not the problem. It seems to reset after the car is turned off for a while but if it happens it could cause serious crashes. There are already thousands of reports on the same incident with this particular car.
