Description of the problem	As i was driving down us 95 north in las vegas at 65 mph, the ignition suddenly turned off and left me coasting with no power steering or brakes. I was in the exit lane. Because it was a manual transmission, i was able to depress the clutch and turn the key and engine fired right up again before i decreased too much speed this happened several times during the 3 years i owned this car. The second time was on rapart blvd between cheyenne and lake mead, again in las vegas. I was able to safely coast out of traffic and into a parking lot where i left the car because i thought it unsafe to drive. Mechanics could never figure out why it continued to do this. I think gm needs to look even farther back with these ignition issues as the cavalier is the predecessor to the cobalt. I repeat this happened many times and they could never figure out what was wrong with it.
