Air Bag On-off Switch problems of the 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt. While driving at various speeds, the service air bag warning light illuminated intermittently.

The failure mileage was 29,785.

My boyfriend and I were on our way home from chicago (on I-80/90) when we hit a bit of lake effect snow and ice. The snow caused our car to lose traction which in turn caused us to hit a guard rail head on while going roughly 50-55 mph. Our airbags did not go off even though we hit the guard rail head on. We ended up being perpendicular in the right hand lane and was hit by a semi truck on the passenger side door. Again, our air bags did not go off which would make for a total of 4 airbags that were affected. I was unaware of affected air bags - I only knew about my ignition switch which was fixed months prior to the accident. Unacceptable.

Hello. My 2010 chevy Cobalt has been plagued with service air bag issues for a long time. My concern the ignition switch is only a smoke screen compared to the air bag system. People need to know when the service air bag light is on, the air bags system will not deploy when needed. I have had it serviced a couple times and invested over $700. 00 to have it fixed and it is still broken. I was told they know about a faulty design with the main com wire that goes under the carpet and passenger seat to the air bag control box to break thus rendering the system fault. They replaced several parts in my steering wheel and it worked for a little while but came back. Now my cruise control is also broken along with the faulty air bag system.
