I'm new to this forum and wasn't sure where I should post this. I hope this is the right area, but if not, I apologize and please let me know the right place and I'll repost it.
I did some errands today and my 09 cobalt started up fine, initially and after about 5 different stops. While driving home, the car lost power. The radio was still playing and all gauges were still lit, but there was no response from the gas pedal. I drifted off to the side, shut off the key, and tried to restart. NOTHING. Again, all lights came on, radio worked, gas gauge went on, but no response from motor at all, not even cranking or turning over.
I don't think it's the battery because I just put in a new one 2 months ago and everything is getting full power. There is no dimming of the lights like when the old battery went bad.
Has anyone experienced this or heard of this happening and can possibly point me in the right direction to fix it as I can't afford to start buying stuff that might not be the problem. Thank you.
