Asked by GuruDD9DX Aug 06, 2017 at 07:31 AM about the 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt LS Sedan FWD

Question type: General

My 2007 Colbalt will not start and shows the pad lock on the dash..i did have
it to the dealer 11 months ago to have the ignition replaced but when i called
the dealer ship back i was told only the tumbler was replaced, which
confused me more because it is happening again.  I do not have a fob, it
never came with one when i bought the car and they gave me new keys
only..no fob...there has tto be a simple solution to this problem then paying
hundreds to bring it back to dealer.  Did the three 10 min in on position,
removed postive cable of battery and even left it off overnight.  Starter and
cylnoid is working fine.  What else could be doing this.  Please help...it is our
only car.

Oh that's simple. It's your key bypass system locked. You have a chip in your key that matches to that tumbler (ignition switch) you must refrain from placing your key beside any type of magnet or field. Now the only thing to do is 1) call AAA or any locksmith they can do it right there for $100 or go bypass security system by jumping starter solenoid

Hello all I have a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt 2.2. This morning I was going to work and heard clicking and buzzing coming from the front. I pulled over and killed the engine and started again and tried to put it in gear and would not go into any gear. It would roll while in park. Transmission has not been a problem, but been hearing some clicking noises. Does this sound like a cv axle trouble and what side does the transmission send power to the front tire? I think it is the front passenger side. Thank you for the help! 1 Answer

Heard clicking and buzzing before and then would not lock into park or any other gear and move.
