general problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt - part 1

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.

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.

When car has issues just stops and turn its self while driving. No reaction time time to pull off to side of road falulty check engine light never comes on. This happened when my serpitine belt broke also broke the pistons needing a whole new engine. Recently afraid to drive vechicle at all with new battery because it just stops running while in idol again no check engine light . Also anti theft is faulty when car shut sown yesterday car would not un lock and could not remove key.

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.

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt. The contact stated that while driving the vehicle and turning the steering wheel, the front wheels would not turn. Additionally, the service air bags message was displayed.

"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.

Markeshia was driving in her neighborhood when she swerved into a pole while trying to avoid hitting a stray dog. Her airbag deployed and her 10 year old daughters did not. Immediately after accident she went in ambulance to TX. Children's hospital where her daughter was rushed to trauma unit for immediate surgery. Her daughter has a permanent brain injury.

Takata recall as I was driving through a parking lot all the dashboard needles went crazy then my steering was hard to turn so I immediately put the vehicle in park and shut off the vehicle, I tried to start the car and it didn't want to start eventually it started after a few more trys to turn the car back on. Also the key ignition is hard to turn when inserting the key into the ignition, air bag service is always showing on my dash when I'm driving.

The air bag depleyed causing me to wreak and I broke 4 rib and my sterum.

I already know about the airbag and ignition recalls but, now, I have a fuel leak with fuel dripping down the lines from the tank on to the ground at a position on the drivers side under the rear passenger door and seat.

Takata recall: my air bag sign probably in the beginning of January had appeared, and obviously they have not been working. I had gotten into an accident on January 31st and they did not deploy. I am not positive if this is a part of the recall situation, but it happened out of no where, I just turned my car on one day and it stopped working. Also in the accident my car was sitting at a red light and hit between the range of 35-40 mph.

Key was stuck in ignition and was unable to start. Replaced body module control and now the check engine light wont go off, says air bags need service, radio is locked out, with a slew of other problems. Took it car to the dealership to find no resolution. My car also lost power steering briefly after only driving about 15 minutes.

I believe the problem im having with my vehicle may perhaps be due to a defective issue. . My car has not been involved in an accident and I now have an my (service air bag) light always on. I no longer feel sage in this car I also had another issue with ti today with my power steering I recently had my car recently serviced and was not told anything when serviced. Please investigate this issue and notify me as soon as this has been investigated.

Went over pothole at 15 miles an hour and both air bags inflated. One passenger went to hospital with injuries. Also the windshield was broken from impact of air bags.

The airbag maintenance light came on in the car, took car to gm dealer and stated that there was broken wire in the passenger side seatbelt retractor. Dealer had to replace retractor and clear code. Having hard time understanding how this is not safety related and why I am having to pay out of pocket to fix this. This part does not hardly move and should be designed to move so many revolutions. My opinion this is a flaw in the design and should be covered by gm.

Several months ago got notice that ignition lock was "recalled" by gm. Shortly after that I noted the "service air bag" light was on periodically. Stopped at gm dealer and was advised that parts would not be available until oct 2014. Got another notice that it was time to get recall fixed. I took my vehicle in for replacement of ignition lock, which was done on 12/10/2014, got home and saw "service air bag" light was on. Called dealer and was advised that "air bag" light was not part of the recall. Have another appointment for 17th to get it checked. Recall 14v047000 is "airbag and electrical" but it doesn't cover airbag ??? I had trouble with this dealer years ago but he is the closest (within 30 miles) to me so I use him.

I was getting in my car to go home, and the service air bag soon appeared on the screen where the odometer is. It went off for about 5 to 7 days, then came on again. I went to jon hall cheverlot in daytona beach to look up recalls. I was told all were taken care of. In and around November 12th, 2014, it came on, and on November 21st, 2014, it has come on again. I am leasing this car from drive time. I have contacted their lease warranty department, and they said it was my responsibility to take care of this. I want to know what I should do, cause it seems like I'm going to the right resources, but given the run around about what to do. Is there any help for me in my situation? thank you, jean turner.

Electrical short in the right front seat belt retractor in which disables the air bag system because of the fault. This diagnosis was verified by bergstrom Chevrolet in appleton, wisconsin.

My speakers on the front of the car go on and off as well as my inside turn signals. Now it has progressed to the check air bag indicatior going on and off while starting and during driving. I have informed the dealership and was told it was several electical problems. The airbag portion of it scares me as I am only 5 ft tall and sit close to the wheel. I dont want to fork over more money than the car is worth especially since I know there are several complaints for the same problem. Why not have a recall on at least the airbag part of the problem.
