2007 CHEVROLET COBALT Air Bags Problems

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. The contact stated that while driving at 55 MPH, a 12-point buck jumped into the roadway, causing the contact to abruptly depress the brake pedal; however, the vehicle skidded and crashed into the buck. No air bags deployed. The vehicle was drivable; however, the vehicle was towed to the residence due to the radiator being damaged. The contact stated that he sustained injuries to his left knee, and his fiancée, who was seated in the front passenger side, sustained injuries to her left knee. The contact stated this morning that he noticed his knee was swollen. No medical attention was sought as of yet. The contact stated that a police report was filed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 16,265.

I was in a crash on 9/19/25 and at the incident none of my airbags deployed. My daily driver for my children and I. I was lucky I was the only passenger at the time. I never expected my airbags not to deploy in a head on crash. The car still sits in my driveway and I have and identical one just like it that I drive! I’d like them evaluated.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated, and the Service Air Bag message was intermittently displayed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

Mileage: 120,000

The driver of the Cobalt lost control and swerved into the path of a tractor-trailer and collided head-on with the tractor-trailer. The airbag in the Cobalt did not deploy despite significant frontal damage to the Cobalt. A download of the ACU in the Cobalt revealed that the Cobalt's ignition switch was in the accessory position at the time of the crash. The ignition switch recall work had been performed on the Cobalt prior to the crash.

I purchased a 2007 Chevy cobalt and was told by an independent shop that their computer was reading codes for the ignition switch and the air bag lights are on. On top of it the power steering feels like it goes in and out. I know there’s recalls on the 2007 Chevy cobalts for the exact reasoning. Faulty ignition switch and the airbags not deploying because of it. Along with like 4 other recalls GM announced. I just purchased the car not even two weeks ago so I was told to come on here and file a complaint to see if I can get the recall letter so the dealership can fix the car.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. The contact’s mother stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would stall without warning. The contact stated no warning lights was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with needing the ignition switch replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V047000 (Air Bags, Electrical System) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was informed of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 107,000.

"AIRBAG SERVICE REQUIRED" LIGHT STARTED APPEARING ON DASHBOARD APPROX 1 MONTH AGO ONCE HITTING CLOSE TO 100,000 MILES. IT OCCURRED AT A RANDOM TIME WHILE IN MOTION, DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS OR DAMAGE. LIGHT OF AIRBAG SERVICE STARTED APPEARING RANDOMLY. AT FIRST IT WOULD TURN ON AND OFF; NOW IT CONSTANTLY APPEARS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO USED CAR DEALER THAT I BOUGHT CAR FROM; THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO CALL GENERAL MOTORS BECAUSE IT APPEARS AS A SAFETY ISSUE AFTER THEY INVESTIGATED IT. GENERAL MOTORS TOLD ME IT WAS NOT A RECALL, YET THEY WERE AWARE IT IS A SERVICE ISSUE MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL HAVE DEALT WITH. THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO TAKE IT TO NEAREST CHEVY DEALER TO HAVE IT SERVICES AT A UNREASONABLE COST. CALLED LOCAL CHEVY DEALER THEY WANTED DIAGNOSING PAYMENT PLUS PAYMENT TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE. I DID NOT TAKE VEHICLE TO CHEVY BECAUSE THE PRICING IS OUTRAGEOUS, THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED WITH MULTIPLE VEHICLES OR THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. OTHERS HAVE WRITTEN ONLINE ABOUT PAYING FOR THE SERVICE AND IT OCCURRING AGAIN OR EVEN ACCIDENTS OCCURRING WITH AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONS.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON,TURNS LIGHTS NOT WORKING

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY. WHILE LIT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT FUNCTION. IT HAS BEEN LOOKED AT BY A CHEVROLET DEALER AT LEAST TWICE (12/2010 AND 2/2011). BOTH OF THOSE TIMES THE ERROR CODE WAS B0020. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC ON 8/2015 AND CODES B1370, B0081, AND B0020 SHOWED. THE PROBLEM WAS ALWAYS FIXED, TEMPORARILY, BY APPLYING CONNECTOR GREASE TO THE WIRE CONNECTIONS. ON 9/2017, THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE PASSENGER SEATBELT RETRACTOR. THIS ALSO FIXED THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. BY PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WE HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE SENSOR IS AFFECTED BY THE INTERIOR TEMPERATURE OF THE CAR. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE APPROXIMATELY 65F THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND RENDERS THE SAFETY OF THE AIRBAGS USELESS! I HAVE YET TO FIND ANY PERMANENT FIX FOR THE ISSUE. HOWEVER THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY OTHERS ONLINE. IT SEEMS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME THAT A VITAL PIECE OF SAFETY EQUIPMENT IS MALFUNCTIONING YET THE MANUFACTURER/DEALER WILL NOT TAKE ANY STEPS TO FIX IT.

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS FROM BEGINNING. WE NEVER RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE. NOT TWO MONTHS AFTER HAVING PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THE POWER STEERING STARTED TO FAIL (OUR SON WAS A LITTLE OVER 2-1/2 YEARS OLD. I HAD TO PULL OVER AS FAST AS I COULD TO KEEP US FROM CRASHING. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE BY NOTICE ONLY BY THE FAILURE OF THIS VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT IN AND SERVICED. HENCE BULLETIN #10023 (POWER STEERING MOTOR) PERFORMED ON 5/25/2010. PROBLEM 2 I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE: THE MECHANIC TOLD ME WHERE I GET MY OIL CHANGED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON COBALT FOR THAT PROBLEM, SO I RESEARCHED IT ONLY TO BE TOLD THERE WAS "NO RECALL" SO TO SPEAK ON MY VIN#- -MY MOTHER WAS TOLD THERE WAS AGAIN NO RECALL THAT MATCHED MY VIN NUMBER THE CHEVY COBALT HAD TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING GAS. ADDITIONALLY, THE FUEL INJECTOR WAS REPLACED AS WELL BECAUSE IT'S ALSO PART OF THAT RECALL AND THE ONE THAT WAS ON THE CAR WAS CRACKED AND LEAKING. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED MORE THAN A FIRE--IT COULD HAVE BLOWN UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING. YET AGAIN THE LIAISON PROVIDED ME WITH THIS: #12191 (FUEL TANK MODULE) PERFORMED ON 10/10/2012. ON TO THE THIRD RECALL- LOW THE CURRENT RECALL, 13454, IS NOW SHOWING FOR YOUR VIN AND WE ARE SENDING OUT NOTICES THIS WEEK WITH MORE SPECIFIC INFORMATION.

I MADE A RIGHT TURN AT A STOP SIGN, AND MY CAR SUDDENLY STARTED TO "ROLL" I WOULD SAY, BECAUSE I WAS NOT ABLE TO STEER OR PRESS THE BRAKES. BASICALLY THE CAR HAD CUT OFF WITHOUT ME KNOWING. I DEFINITELY DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN SINCE IT WAS ON A FULL TANK OF GAS. BUT ANYWAYS AS IT WAS ROLLING IT WAS PULLING TOWARDS THE RIGHT SINCE THAT'S HOW MY STEERING WHEEL WAS ALREADY TURNED FROM ME MAKING A RIGHT AT A STOP SIGN. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO STOP AND I WAS ROLLING DOWN THE HILL DRIFTING OFF INTO PEOPLES YARDS. THE CAR ROLLED INTO A BRICK MAILBOX. IT HIT PRETTY HARD. THE BRICK MAILBOX CAME COMPLETELY OUT OF THE GROUND AND LUCKILY FELL IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I SLUNG FORWARD ONE THE CAR HIT THE MAILBOX. I BLACKED OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS, AND THEN IMMEDIATELY WENT INTO A PANIC ATTACK WHICH CAUSED ME TO GO INTO AN ASTHMA ATTACK. I HAVE ASTHMA PRETTY BAD. THE AIR BAD DID NOT DEPLOY. THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS ALL SMASHED IN AND ALL THE FUELS HAD LEAKED OUT. BECAUSE I SLUNG FORWARD I HAD WHIPLASH, AND ALSO A KNOT ON MY HEAD AND A SWOLLEN BUSTED LIP. I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT.
