I had my ignition switch replaced by a gm dealer, now the airbag light is on. I noticed on the ignition recall it mentioned the airbag. So I'm wondering if this airbag light is on due to something with the switch replacement.

The car had the fuel moduel and tank replaced inoctober 2012 they said it was not a recall and covered it under my powertrain 3 days before it went out. I just got the car back from the ignition recall and the air bag on passenger doesnt work they claim its something different, the gas is draining from the car again, it smells like gas. I am assuming that the fuel line again has broke, and the fuel moduel and tank will be soon behind it. Last time they told me the car had the potential to blow up. The door electrical switches go on and off by themselves. The turn signals work when they want to too.

The chevy Cobalt recall does not fix the kill switch problem. I just got this car back today. I attached a small wallet that holds only my license and bank card in it and the air bag light still goes on and off. Hence this is exactly what it did before it was replaced. I didn't have this problem with the same wallet attached in my chevy rental car. This car is not corrected. It is still a death trap. If you only leave the key in the ignition the air bag light stays off exactly what they said to do before it was changed.

My airbag light says it is not on and the light in dash lights up and says "service air bags". The light stays on while I am driving and a red flashing light of a picture of a person behind the wheel with an airbag popped out on them flashes. It's frightening to me and I don't understand why it is doing this. It started doing this after I had the recall on the ignition switch fixed.

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. The door handle on the driver side has all but fallen off, out of warranty again the dealer and was told there were no recalls, so around turns and corners my car gets loud. Don't even let me get started the upholstery in this vehicle because water alone stains it. Along with the struts making noises when the car turns, the a/c issue having that replaced, the breaks, the rotors turned when does it stop. I also found that it was very possible the airbag situation was due to the electrical problems as well (hence the faulty ignition kill switch).
