at about 2 AM today, my 2005 Cobalt LS Sport Coupe DIED in the middle of the road... a strong electrical burning odor from under my hood hit me in the face as soon as i opened it.

anyone else had this happen???
i haven't heard from the dealer yet... i'll keeep updates as they come...

 

maybe your car was trying to get the message across that you shouldnt be driving at 2 am in the morning

 

Some people have no choice though.

Maybe you fried a wiring harness to the ignition? Sounds like something got too hot and shorted out. Best of luck, let us know what the dealer says.

 

Yeah I don't get out of work until 11pm and I don't get home until 12am so it's not that uncommon for me to be driving around at 2 am. Hell I don't hit the sack until 3 am.

Lots of people other there work weird hours so we can all have 24/7 services (like the internet )

 

im executive incharge of an entertainment company...im constantly out at all hours of the morning,day, and night. i rely on one of my 3 vehicles to keep me movin...this one is the primary, and it freakin dissapointed the hell outta me... 5000 miles is too early to break down.

*sigh* we'll see in about 7 hours what the dealership says...

im thinkin ignition wiring as well, but its under warranty for 100,000 miles, so im not even gonna pop the damn hood til that day comes....

 

The cobalt is alive and running again, thanks to the damn ignition module wiring harness coming loose... someone musta been drunk in the factory the day my car was wired LOL
