My mother owned this 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt 4d (VIN # stated above). The power steering seemed to have quit working, as it was very hard to turn the steering wheel. On Dec. 28, 2021 she (& my 2 daughters) were turning left & her car was hit by another car on the right front (passenger side), front 1/4 panel. The car was spun around several times. My mother was temporarily knocked unconscience & then came to. Car was totalled out. (doctor ignored to perform a head scan instead he scanned her back). My mother bled on her brain for 3 months & died. It was very devastating.

My son was driving back from work at 11:30 p. M. On a dark desert road when he came upon a man fixing a tire at the side of the road. This gentleman's car was out onto the road a bit and the dps officers were called by other drivers since it was a hazardous situation. My son then came along and hit the car with the right front of his car (no deployment of airbags at this point). Then attempted to correct the situation and rolled his car onto the desert floor landing on the roof. Still no bags deployed at this time. There were sparks coming from the vehicle and he crawled out the driver side window. At that time the dps officer was at the scene. He sustained seatbelt burn to his neck, road burn to arm, back and cut finger from broken glass.

While driving my car, my wife was hit by another vehicle. The air bags on the other vehicle deployed but the air bags in my car did not.

Made left turn and my airbag went off. Mechanic said that the clock spring shorted out internally in the coil and deployed the airbag. Gm has not contacted me over this matter and have been trying to get them to reimburse me for since 2010.

I was on my way home from work when a kid failed to yield to oncoming traffic. I hit him on the passenger side with the front of my vehicle. I was traveling approximately 40 mph. His airbags deployed, my air bags did not. I proceeded to file a complaint with gm. After several months going back and forth with the complaint process with they said there was nothing wrong with the car. They also stated that with the type of front end impact, they would not expect the airbags to deploy. I argued that the other cars did with a side impact, mine should have with a frontal impact. I do have pictures that tell the story very clearly. I also went through 6 - 8 weeks of physical therapy to try and cope with the pain. I still have pain 3. 5 years after the crash.

I got in an accident on October 17, 2006 and my air bags did not go off. I had a frontal impact and nothing came out. Result was that I hit my head at the connecting part of the windshield and roof of my car.

On Feb. 10,2006 my little brother was on his way home in my 2005 Cobalt it was raining he went around a curve an lost control of the vehicle. He hit a total of 3 trees the car was total.

I rented this brand new Cobalt 4 months after hurricane katrina from mobile alabama, so as to go back to my home town of san francisco, CA. By the time I made it through los angeles, at around 430 am. I lost control of car due to severe stiffness in the steering. Which led to the vehicle running off of I-5 heading north bound at a speed of 60 miles per hour. Visibility was good, I veered off the freeway into the median portion of I-5, and I tried to slow down but no response which led me to roll over few times, end to end and over and over, luckily I was wearing my seat belt and it held very well, suprisingly, no airbags, none of them deployed, and all the windows blew out, and not the reinforced kind including the front wind shield. The ambulance came, and so did the California highway patrol. There is a report about it which indicates that no airbags were deployed, and I do have pictures of car after incident. I had few bumps and bruises and had few cuts from the glass on my arms and legs, and I had to acquire a few rounds of physical therapy and accupuncture. But luckily I was in good spirits. The car was covered under 3 insurances, which paid for some damage, including my discover card, and my grandma's aarp. And the rental car company.
