I own a Chevrolet Cobalt (2006) with 40,000 miles. The car will start, but occasionally the power steering will go, the engine light comes on, and it will sputter and have trouble accelerating. When I stop it makes a thud noise. This occurs once every two days, and to this point it is in the local Chevrolet dealer being diagnosed.

The check engine light came on so I took the vehicle straight to the dealership. They said it was a history code and not a big deal, so they reset it. After leaving the dealership it came back on so I went to a different dealership. They said the same thing and said they don't know why it is coming back on.

We purchased a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt (LS) in December, 2005. Starting in January 2006, we noticed that the engine light goes on and off and we had the chevy dealer whom we purchased car from check it. They told us that the engine is fine and it happens to many Cobalt that the engine light will go on sometimes without any reason. We called Chevrolet and we were told that they were aware of the problem but have no solution to it. We were asked to keep driving the car with engine light on. We feel very uncomfortable driving a car with engine light on. We would not know if there is really nothing wrong with the car. Chevrolet refused to take any action regarding to this matter. We don't know where to seek further help on this incident. There is currently 6000 miles on the car and the engine may be fine at this moment. But since the engine light is not working properly, we would not know if something really happens in the future. We don't feel safe but nowhere to seek help.
Engine light turned on at 3,000 miles now the car has 45k and engine light is still on car has been to the dealer numerous times and they can;t find the problem. The light bank one lean code. The dealers still can't find the problem. Car runs rough and it may result in engine damage or other problems or safety problems if situation persists. To much air not enough fuel.
