I have a 2005 Chevy Cobalt and driving down the freeway it died on me and now there is this symbol of a car with a lock on it on my console display. What does this mean and how do i get my car to start?

To me that seems like the GM security light. As I've said before, usually that big book in your glovebox will explain all of this, but the vehicle is experiencing a security issue and has shut off the fuel pump to prevent theft. You may have an electrical problem with the ignition not detecting the key (or similar) and therefore if you can't disable the security system temporarily (look through that manual...again...) then the vehicle will need to be towed or pushed. GM roadside assistance I think starts on 2007 model year vehicles, so you may be out of luck on that one too. Best bet here is to check the manual, call the dealer, and then call a tow truck if either of the first suggestions doesn't fix the problem.

I got that stupid symbol on my dash in the parking lot when I went to start my car. It sounds like your key died! My car starts and runs with my other key just fine.
