My daughter (18) just bought her very first car herself 6 weeks ago. She bought a 2007 Cobalt 2.2L with 73K miles (I believe). 2 weeks ago she went to go start her car and NOTHING - a click - that was it. For the past 2 weeks we have had the battery checked twice, replaced the starter, replaced the ignition switch, checked all fuses and relays and had a mechanic come to the house and check everything as well. He confirmed that everything is how it should be. He also hooked up a diagnostic to the car and there were no codes - said that everything was working properly. Obviously not. NOTHING still.
Does anyone have any clue as to why the car won't run? It can be jumped from the starter and continues to run but once it is turned off - nothing. The mechanic that came to look at it said that it could be the shifter (not knowing what gear it is in).
My poor child has no money to get it towed anywhere and definitely can't afford to have a chop repair it. We are pretty good with repairing cars but we are at a loss as to what could be the problem. What's worse is she just made her first payment and she still can't enjoy her car. The dealership she bought it from is no help since she bought it "as is". We would LOVE for anyone to give us a clue. Please help. Thanks so much!
