2010 CHEVROLET COBALT Air Bags Problems

Air bag says it needs serviced Gas gadge is all over the place hard to tell how much gas I actually have in my tank.

The contact owned a 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt. The contact stated that, while her daughter was driving at an undisclosed speed during an ice and rainstorm with poor visibility, a vehicle parked sideways in the middle of the roadway suddenly appeared. Unable to stop in time, the vehicle collided with the driver's side rear of the other vehicle, causing it to spin and veer onto the shoulder of the roadway before coming to a complete stop. The air bags deployed but failed to properly inflate, greatly reducing their effectiveness, which the contact held responsible for the various injuries sustained by the three occupants. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a storage facility and deemed a total loss by the contact's insurance provider. A police report was filed, and injuries were reported. All three occupants were transported to a local hospital by EMTs. The driver was treated for facial injuries sustained from striking the steering wheel. The minor occupant, who was seat-belted in the front passenger seat, was treated for injuries suffered to the right side of their forehead after hitting and breaking the front windshield, as well as a contusion across their chest caused by the seat belt. The contact was treated for a dislocated left shoulder and sustained multiple bruises. The manufacturer was notified of the incident, opened a case, and referred the contact to the NHTSA hotline for further assistance. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was unknown.

The contact owned a 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt. The contact stated that while her husband was driving on the interstate, he had a heart attack and crashed into a tree where the vehicle came to a stop. None of the air bags deploy. The driver died at the scene due to a heart attack per an autopsy. The vehicle was towed to an independent lot. There was no reported fire. A police report was filed.

WE HAD OUR BATTERY REPLACED IN OUR VEHICLE NOVEMBER 15, 2016. SINCE THAT TIME OUR "SERVICE PASSENGER AIRBAG" LIGHT HAS COME ONE. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC ON 3/3/2017 AND HE REPORTED THAT WE NEEDED A NEW MODULE THAT WOULD CORRECT THE SERVICE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT. WE DROVE OUR CAR HOME AND BEFORE WE EVEN GOT HOME THE SERVICE LIGHT HAD RETURNED. WE TOOK IT BACK THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY AND THEY CHECKED IT AGAIN AND SAID WE NEEDED A NEW SENSOR FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT. SINCE THAT TIME WE HAVE NOT TAKEN IT BACK AS WE ARE WONDERING IF THAT WILL JUST REQUIRE ANOTHER ELECTRONIC FIX. DOES THIS EFFECT THE SEAT BELT WORKING CORRECTLY? IF SO, I THINK THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

THE INDIVIDUAL I SPOKE TO SAID THEY DO NOT WORK IN LEMON LAWS BUT WHAT ABOUT SAFETY LAWS? WHAT ABOUT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT? WHAT ABOUT PROTECTING THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE BOUGHT THEIR PRODUCTS AND HAVE NOW HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS THAT HAVE THE ABILITY TO MAKE THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE AND POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING. IF I HAD THE FUNDS I WOULD BUY A DIFFERENT VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE AND GOOD ON GAS MILEAGE. I DO NOT HAVE ANY EXTRA FUNDS TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY CONCERN IS FOR THE SAFETY OF MY SON AND MYSELF AND I AM APPALLED THAT A COMPANY DOES NOT SEEM TO STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCT AFTER THIS MANY RECALLS. PLEASE HELP,

HELLO. MY 2010 CHEVY COBALT HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH SERVICE AIR BAG ISSUES FOR A LONG TIME. MY CONCERN THE IGNITION SWITCH IS ONLY A SMOKE SCREEN COMPARED TO THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW WHEN THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON, THE AIR BAGS SYSTEM WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED. I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED A COUPLE TIMES AND INVESTED OVER $700.00 TO HAVE IT FIXED AND IT IS STILL BROKEN. I WAS TOLD THEY KNOW ABOUT A FAULTY DESIGN WITH THE MAIN COM WIRE THAT GOES UNDER THE CARPET AND PASSENGER SEAT TO THE AIR BAG CONTROL BOX TO BREAK THUS RENDERING THE SYSTEM FAULT. THEY REPLACED SEVERAL PARTS IN MY STEERING WHEEL AND IT WORKED FOR A LITTLE WHILE BUT CAME BACK. NOW MY CRUISE CONTROL IS ALSO BROKEN ALONG WITH THE FAULTY AIR BAG SYSTEM. *TT

AIR BAG SERVICE INDICATOR COMES ON AND AIR BAGS BECOME INOPERABLE. THIS HAS OCCURED MULTIPLE TIMES IN BETWEEN 3 TRIPS TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. FIRST TIME AT DEALER: DEALER CLAIMED TO ORDER PARTS BUT NEVER DID. SECOND TIME AT DEALER: DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE REPLACED PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR AND MODULE. THIRD TIME AT DEALER: DEALER CLAIMED ELECTRONIC DEVICES SUCH AS CELL PHONES PLACED ON SEAT WILL TRIGGER THE SERVICE AIR BAG NOTIFICATION. THE DEALER CLAIMED NHTSA REFERENCE #10030788 AND TSB REFERENCE #SB-08-09-41-007A COVERED THE INCIDENT AND NO FURTHER DIAGNOSE NEEDED. HOWEVER, THE REFERENCED ITEMS DOES NOT MENTION A 2010 CHEVROLET COBALT. FYI, ANY FAILURE IN THE SYSTEM DISABLES THE COMPLETE AIR BAG SYSTEM AND WOULD RESULT IN ONE OR MORE FATAL INJURIES IF NOT FIXED PROPERLY. IT WOULD ALSO PROHIBIT OBTAINING A VEHICLE INSPECTION UNLESS FIXED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR ALL VEHICLES MENTIONED. RECOMMEND RELOCATION OF SENSOR AND/OR PROPER SHIELDING OF SENSOR FROM SURROUNDING ELECTRONIC DEVICES. *TR

ELECTRONIC DEVICES ENGAGING PASSENGER AIRBAG AND SEATBELT NOTIFICATION. WHEN I PUT AN AC ADAPTOR (LIGHTWEIGHT), OR MOST ELECTRONIC DEVICES, SOMETIMES EVEN JUST MY IPOD, ON MY PASSENGER SEAT IT THINKS A PERSON IS SITTING THERE. IF I WERE TO CRASH THIS WOULD BE A BIG PROBLEM AIRBAGS ARE EXPENSIVE, PLUS THE CAR IS ALWAYS BEEPING AT ME. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY SAID, WELL YOU JUST CANNOT PUT IT THERE. THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN FOR YOU, I EVEN ASKED IF THEY COULD AT LEAST PUT A CENTER CONSOLE IN. (ANSWER: NO) I AM REPORTING THIS AS PROPERTY DAMAGE BECAUSE THEY WON'T FIX MY CAR WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY, THEN LET ME DRIVE OFF WITH AN UNSAFE CAR. SO BE CAREFUL WITH PUTTING YOUR ELECTRONICS ON YOUR PASSENGER SEAT IT COULD MEAN TOTALING YOUR CAR, AIRBAGS ARE EXPENSIVE. ALSO MY COBALT DOES NOT HAVE A CENTER CONSOLE SO THERE IS NO WHERE ELSE TO PUT MY ELECTRONICS, WHICH TO ME SEEMS LIKE A BOUGHT A DAMAGED VEHICLE. I CANNOT USE THE FUNCTIONS IT IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE, LIKE THE AUX INPUT, BECAUSE I HAVE NOWHERE TO PUT THE MP3 PLAYER WITHOUT ACTIVATING THE PASSENGER SEAT ALARM/AIRBAG. BE CAREFUL AND HELP ME COMPLAIN. THIS IS VERY SHADY, ALSO RIGHT AFTER I GOT MY CAR THEY (THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP) ACKNOWLEDGED MY COBALT WAS PART OF THE AFFECTED "UNINTENDED ACCELERATION" CARS, NOW THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT IT ANYWHERE. THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THEY HAD A FIX FOR IT, AND YET I WAS NEVER CONTACTED AND I JUST GOT CONTACTED ABOUT MY POWER STEERING RECALL WITH NO MENTION OF THE OTHER PROBLEM THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY ACKNOWLEDGED, AFFECTED MY CAR. I DON'T THINK THERE IS COINCIDENCE RECALLS ARE CONTROLLED BY THE SAME PEOPLE THAT CONTROL GM, THE GOVERNMENT. IT TOOK GM 5 YEARS TO START FIXING THIS POWER STEERING PROBLEM, THINK TWICE BEFORE BUYING GENERAL MOTORS, YOU ARE REALLY BUYING GOVERNMENT MOTORS, AND YOUR PROTECTED BY THEIR WONDERFUL RECALL COVERUP PROGRAM. *TR
