I just bought this car..2010 chevy cobalt with 176,000 miles two weeks ago with all of the money that i had. i noticed that it had a dealers tag, but he wanted to meet me at a store and claimed that the car was perfect.day two it stalled & has continued to randomly stall & wouldn't start til the 3rd try. i tried, but it's impossible to contact the seller. autozone said it had 17 codes, but could just be the c20? sensor. then last night it would start, accelerating to about 5 mph,then stall & i had to have it towed home from a busy area, and now it won't turn over or start at all. im a grandmother on my own with a part time job and have no money left for repairs or to start all over. i'm hoping there's a recall that could help.i don't know how to find this man as the title had another persons name on it, not that it would do any good.
