My car has a lot of electrical shortages or just don't work. The unlock button on the driver side will not unlock the rest of the doors and the lock button you have to hit multiple times for it to work. I have no sound out of the speaker in the driver side door and I have replaced it twice and it just continues to blow. I have no sound while my turn single is on. My passenger side air bag is disabled and I have a warning that says service air bag and the icon for the airbag on my panel. I have had it looked at and nobody can seem to determine what is wrong with it. The sound on my radio fades in and out and the button to turn the heat on for rear defrost, air conditioner and the one to circulate the car only worked when they want to. And every since I had the ignition and those recalls fixed the buttons on the right side of my steering wheel (info, reset buttons) only work occasionally.
A wire harness failed in the passenger side air bag/seat belt which would leave the air bag disabled. When taken to a mechanic to get fixed we were informed a whole new seat belt assembly which included the harness had to be ordered from a dealer to be replaced to fix the problem. He then informed us the new factory oem harness and assembly was delivered with new routing instructions to prevent the harness from being damaged again. Then indicates to me the company knows of the potentionally deadly issue yet fails to recall it.
"service air bag" light illuminated and disables passenger side airbag. Now it comes on at sometime during every trip I take now!.
On July 15, 2010 I was hit head-on by another driver. Pictures of my chevy Cobalt clearly show the driver side airbag didn't deploy correctly on the ride side of the steering wheel. As a result, I suffered multiple injuries, most of the injuries are on the right side of my body. Dislocated and shattered right foot, right wrist fracture, cut in right knee, disfigured stomach, need left hip replaced, also have depression, ptsd, anxiety, long and short term memory loss, chronic pain, degenerative disk disease, both knees and arms weak. Totally disabled, unable to work. How do I sue gm?.
My husband and I have a 2007 chevy Cobalt ltz , for about three weeks we had been noticing vibrations in the steering. Also when braking the steering would shake. During that time we got a letter from our dealership about the side airbags. They said that they had sold it as if it had side airbags,but it didn't have any. On our way up there to the dealership we began to experience tightness in the steering just as we started on the interstate . We had not gone very far when our Cobalt began to fish tail and my husband was unable to control the car and we then went into two 360s and began to roll according to witnesses we rolled 4 or 5 times before the car rested on the right side. Also front airbags did not come out. It felt as if the car had no power steering at all.
