1 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 10/26/2016

I was driving home this morning and a deer jumped out in front of me. I slammed on the brakes and the engine shutoff. Making the power brakes and steering shutoff. Extremely dangerous not to mention if there is no power most likely the airbags will not deploy. A serious issue for a car that is less than 6 years old with around 80,000 miles on it. Just a disclaimer it is an automatic so there is no clutch.

2 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem

Failure Date: 02/24/2014

On two occasions my Cobalt just shut off, once sitting in traffic the other while merging onto the interstate, I have also got service airbag lights blinking random during the same time frame. Dealer is telling me my car isn't included in recall, how can this be?.
