The deer was hit with the front passenger side it broke my headlight n messed my hood up and smashed in the grill little and my air bags never deployed I hit deer at 50 mph , after that had happened I took it in to chevy dealership and had them look at car cause I told them I hit that deer and air bag never deployed and that my air bag light came on once in awhile and said service air bag . The dealership said they do that sometimes and did something to make light go off that was it my air vag light still comes on and says service air bag . Also ignition switch and fuel smell foul coming from car a lot and is as I speak . My reduce engine power light comes on a lot and have no power to gas pedal n car won’t stay running . I have try to get two recalls fixed back in 2-21 I was having problems with my car back then too special reach called me in Jan of 2021 and told me that there were two recalls on my car ignition switch and fuel module so I informed dealership when I took my car in that next month in Feb 21 told them I was informed on 2 active recalls on my car . When they were done with my car later that day I asked them if they fixed the recalls they said no cause it was map sensor so I then made an appt to get recalls fixed when I got there for the recalls to be fixed one of the technicians told me it shows that they were done . I called chevy and complained about the issue I just had and never had recalls fixed but they must of put it in computer they fixed them so I’ve been really upset that I been trying to get past recalls fixed that are on my car and I get run around and told there isn’t any I know about a past recall on shift selnoid low circuit too that was a past recal.

My car fuel pump modulator problem. That has been on recall. But not for my vehicle. I do not know the history of what stat it origionally was bought in.

Does it sitting and when moving.

I was traveling on highway in the middle lane at app. 60 mph when without warning, swerving, hitting a bump or having an accident, we heard a loud bang and the front and back passenger curtain airbag deployed hitting my passenger in the right side of his head. I looked down at the warning panel on the dash which stated. . . Service airbag after the incident occurred. . . . . I was thankful that I did not loose control of the car at the time or this incident. . . . . Also very thankful that I did not have one of my grandchildren in the back seat or they would have been hit by this airbag. . . . . . Ages 11 years and 16 months!!!!!!!! my passenger was not injured. . . . Just some soreness of his face and ear. My car was taken to the dealership the next morning where gm was notified. There was an investigation and inspection by gm and my car was repaired at no cost to me. During the 30 days that the dealership had my car I was in direct contact with a gm customer service rep. Who kept me up to date on repairs and assured me that the other airbags were also checked. I repeatedly did ask if there would be a recall due to this incident but was told there would be no recall at this time since this was an unusual occurrence.

The contact owned a 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt. While driving 40 mph and attempting to come to a stop, the brake pedal was depressed, but failed to respond. The brake pedal depressed all the way to the floorboard independently. As a result, the vehicle failed to stop and crashed into the rear of another vehicle. The air bags deployed with excessive force. The contact had to puncture the air bag to avoid suffocation, which caused the air bag to explode. The contact sustained back, neck, and ear injuries that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a towing yard and was deemed destroyed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 48,000. The VIN was unavailable.
I was stopped at a traffic light with my foot on the brake waiting for the light to change to green. The passenger airbag curtains both deployed and blew out the headliner of the vehicle. It was about 80 degrees and dry. I went to the dealer who said the incident was an insurance claim. My insurance company denied the claim saying there was no accident. A gm investigator read the data box and the cdr file information shows there was no event recorded to recover. Something was preventing the data box from being read at the computer port under the dash, they had to remove the data box and plug their computer directly into it. Initially gm claimed I put the vehicle in a rollover situation. Now that has been proven wrong, they are saying something like moisture made the airbag deploy. My vehicle is unusable and sitting because of gm's failure to step up and do something about my case.
December 29, 2011, I was driving home one evening in the Cobalt when my car's engine shut off and I lost control on a semi-residential a few blocks from home. Driving at about 35-45 mp, downhill, I hit a parked car on the left side of the road (narrow road, cars parked on both sides, 2-way street). I thought, "I'm going to die". This impact made the car continue on, faster and more out of control, hitting another parked vehicle on the opposite side of the street and I finally was able to stop the car by hitting the passenger side front wheel/bumper of the Cobalt against the a parked truck to avoid driving into an intersection or any oncoming traffic. No airbags ever deployed. The car then flipped over, and that's how they found and recovered me. I awoke hours later in shock trauma at washington hospital center in DC (where I worked at the time), with the car totaled and just a scratch on my hand. I just had aches/pains, no broken bones, but had to take some time off work. I had no health insurance as I was a contracted employee. Car insurance paid off the expense of vehicle. Thank god nobody was killed nor seriously injured. I have all paperwork, photos but I still don't drive, maybe just once a week. The year of the Cobalt is from 2009, but I believe this vehicle should be included in the class action suit, as it was completely unsafe to drive.
