general problems of the 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt

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.

The rims on these 2007 Cobalts bend easy with the size of tire they are sold with. Any pot hole hit at speeds of 30 - 55 mph will bend these tire rims. I have replaced 2 rims at $ 111. 00 apeice and my back rims are bent also. Wal-mart, tiemans tire and other tire stores are aware of the bad rims on these Cobalts. You can not find any used rims anymore due to all are used to replace other bent rims on Cobalts. This can cause you to loose control of your car if a pot hole bends a rim an you loose all air pressure in the tire. It will act as though the tire blew out with sudden air pressure loss. It is not a safe car to drive with this problem.

Gm's steel wheel rims (part number: stl08021u45 / base part# : stl08021u ) are dangerously weak metal/ - they bend very easily. I have 3 bent rims on my 2007 chevy Cobalt. (these same model was also standard on 2007-2008 Saturn aura, and 2006 -07 Chevrolet malibu ) I have 3 bent rims according to a gm dealership and another repair shop - and was told that need to be replaced. I tried to buy replacements but was told they are on "hold" by gm. No replacement. These rims are ruining my car by straining the wheel bearings, the alignment, and tires, not to mention jeopardizing my safety and those driving around me. There should be a recall on these cheap dangerous rims!.
