On February 21th, 2011, I was driving on the I-95 expressway. Suddenly, I lost the control of my car which was hit by another car driven by carlos f. Sentmanat (case # fhpl11off010691). On June seventh, 2010, my wife had similar accident with her 2006 chevy Cobalt. The fact that both crashes were so similar made dubious about our responsibility on them. I asked to inspect my vehicle twice (3/25/11 and 4/9/11), but inspectors said that my car was ok. On December 12, 2011 I presented a complaint to f. H. S. M. V. D. M. S. (complaint #42575), on December 16, 2011 its answer was; your complaints do not fall within its jurisdiction. Dejected, I did not forward any more action. I have just received from gm a warning about a defect which relates to motor vehicles safety exists in 2005-2007 model year (my) Chevrolet Cobalt, then I read on tv news, and internet, that gm issued that it’s possible that the air bags might not deploy if there is an accident. In this moment we realized that both the 2006 and 2008 chevy Cobalt air bags’ did not deploy, regardless both vehicles crashes were on front bumper allstate insurance paid the amount of $6440. 58 to repair my car. We have received a significant amount of letters from lawyers and allstate insurance dealing with injures damages and monetary compensation. Allstate paid to mr. Sentmanat the sum of $10 000, consequently our allstate insurance premium was raised substantially. This entire situation had caused stress, economic problems and lack of confidence in both my wife I. Because both crashes happened in the afternoon rush hour, I-95 traffic was crowded and slow, but in other conditions and as consequence of air bag malfunction my wife and might have died. For the reasons explaining above I, the writer, demand from gm a monetary compensation for the psychological, legal, and monetary problems caused by my car malfunction.

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!.
