I agree. Sounds like you need a new battery although it could simply be a bad connection or ground. Mine does that from time to time in damp weather. I switch my headlights to high beam for a couple of seconds and it fixes it every time. I know, weird, but that's what happens. I hope you're that lucky, but don't count on it.

Maintenance & Repair
2006 Cobalt all of the sudden I lost power steering, cruise control, power windows, windshield wipers. The a air bag light came on and the middle of the display on the dashboard (I.e. where the check in light and seat belt light is) is out. The car has driven fine until I started this morning. Now my driver's side window is stuck down and it's barley drivable. I went to a Chevy dealership and they say all recalls on the car were fixed in 2014, oddly enough including the ignition, power steering, and air bag ... I asked why it was all broken again. No clear answer. Can someone please help me 3 Answers
