Anti Theft Mode
Asked by Guru55SK7 Dec 27, 2017 at 07:44 PM about the 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I have a 2008 Chevy Cobalt. I tried to start my car
like normal but it was dead and now I can’t get my
key out. My gear shift button is also stuck for some
reason. My car was jumped so i could drive it and
turn it on and off although the key still wouldn’t
come out. A few hours later my cars dead and the
anti theft mode came on. Is there anyway I could do
a system update or do I have to get it towed to a
dealership?

For my cobalt when it is left outside in the cold is the only time the theft system comes on. Try getting a new battery!
