Asked by Jimmy Jul 04, 2018 at 11:59 PM about the 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt LT Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I was driving my car today when everything seemed to fail
at once. The dash is saying power steering is out (it does
not feel like it is), the check engine light is giving me a code
saying communication was lost with the transmission, my
traction control light is on, it shifts very hard, the car will
lock and unlock itself at random, and it will even stay
running for about 5 seconds after I turn off the car and take
out the key. Obviously all those systems didn't fail at once
right? This seems like an electronic issue to me. What
should I do?

Sounds like you need to carefully remove the key from the ignition and take an Uber to the nearest Catholic Church where, hopefully a kind priest will dip the key in holy water for you. Good luck
