Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt - part 2

: the contact stated while driving 55 mph on the highway with the cruise control engaged, the brake pedal was depressed and the vehicle lurched forward without warning. Multiple attempts were made to disengage the cruise control by constantly applying brake pressure, but the vehicle continued to accelerate. The vehicle suddenly careened through two lanes of traffic, struck a guardrail, and rolled over into an embankment where it finally came to a stop. The contact was wearing a seat belt, but minor injuries were sustained. Due to the extensive body damage, the vehicle was deemed totaled. The police were alerted and a report was taken. The manufacturer was also alerted. Updated 9/20/2006 - the air bags did not deploy.

I was driving my 2006 chevy Cobalt when I was taking a friend to the airport. I was on I-495 n in the lane leading to the exit that takes you to the airport toll road. I applied my brakes and the car did not slow down. Hoping to coast down the exit and pull off to the side of the road, I turned the steering wheel to veer the car left. The car kept going straight. I kept hitting the brakes and turned the steering wheel to the left, but the car did not stop, nor did it turn. We crashed into the guardrail at about 50 mph. The airbags did not deploy. Turns out the car shut off while I was driving it. This was the second time this had occurred. It happened back in may 2006 and I took it in to the dealership. They kept it for a couple of days and said it was fine. Apparently not.

: the contact stated while attempting to apply brake pressure at 40 mph the vehicle hit another vehicle from behind and the airbags did not deploy. A police report was filed at the scene and there were no injuries. The vehicle sustained front end damage. It was towed to the dealership and the front end was replaced. The manufacturer was contacted.
