2008 CHEVROLET COBALT
I RECENTLY ACQUIRED THIS VEHICLE, THE PRIOR OWNER PUT BLACK TAPE OVER AIR BAG DEFECTIVE MESSAGE. I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2014, IT STATES THE OWNER WAS INFORMED OF THE RECALL INVOLVING THE IGNITION EFFECTING THE AIR BAGS. THE LISTING CODES NOT INDICATE WHETHER THE RECALL/ VEHICLE WAS EVER SERVICED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I TEND TO THINK IT WAS NEVER DONE. I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO DETERMINE, THE INCIDENT DESCRIBES THE CONSEQUENCE: IF THE KEY IS NOT IN THE RUN POSITION, THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY. CURRENTLY ON MY DASH, THE CHECK AIRBAG IS DISPLAYED. ORIGINAL RECALL FROM THE NHTSA MANUFACTURER'S REPORT DATE APRIL 18, 2014 NHTSA ACTION NUMBER N/A POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED 2,190,934 NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 14V047000 COMPONENT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:SWITCH

I PURCHASED A 2010 CHEVROLET COBALT FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP IN JULY OF 2019. 3 MONTHS INTO HAVING THE CAR, AS I , MY MOTHER AND 6YO DAUGHTER WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60MPH , THE CAR STARTED TO JERK AND SLOW DOWN. THE 'ENGINE REDUCED POWER ' MESSAGE CAME ACROSS MY DASH . WE WE'RE ALMOST SIDE SWIPED AND REAR ENDED. ONLY FOR THE FACT THAT A FELLOW MOTORIST STOPPED BEHIND ME TO HELP MERGE TRAFFIC TO KEEP US FROM GETTING HIT , IS WHAT KEPT US FROM BEING IN AN ACCIDENT AND PULLING OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS AND I CAN'T IMAGINE AS A MOTHER HOW LOSING HER LIFE, OR THE LIFE OF HER CHILD WOULD HAVE BEEN DEVISTATING BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURER'S ERROR!

YESTERDAY MORNING I WENT OUT TO WARM UP THE CAR BEFORE HEADING OUT AND NOTICED A GOOD PUDDLE OF WATER UNDER MY CAR. I SMELLED THE FLUID AND FOUND IT TO BE ANTIFREEZE. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO FOUND IT TO BE A LEAK IN THE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE. BEING ADVISED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR BECAUSE IT WAS BROKEN IN THE FACTORY JOINT, WHERE THE LINE IS LIKE WELDED TOGETHER DURING MANUFACTURING. I GOT HOME AND RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND WAS SHOCKED AT THE NUMBER OF RESULTS DESCRIBING MY VERY PROBLEM. I CAN'T EVEN COUNT HOW MANY DESCRIBE THE SAME SCENARIO, GOING OUT AFTER THE HARDEST FREEZE, WATER PUDDLE UNDER THE CAR WITH ANTIFREEZE IN IT AND TRIP TO SHOP, DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE! AS THOUGH ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE WERE LIVING MY LIFE AT THAT MOMENT.I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE 2 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM, BUT THEY WERE MINOR COMPARED TO THIS! IT IS GOING TO COST ME CLOSE TO $300.00 TO FIX THIS VERY, VERY COMMON PROBLEM RIGHT HERE AT CHRISTMAS WITH 2 CHILDREN TO PROVIDE FOR. SEVERAL OF CUSTOMERS WHO REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM DID SAY THE DEALERSHIP FIXED THEIR PROBLEM AT NO CHARGE BECAUSE IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM IN POOR MANUFACTURING OF THIS PART! I CAN ONLY HOPE I GET SO LUCKY. OR THAT THE NHTSA PICKS THIS UP AND PUTS A RECALL ON THIS VERY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT!

THESE COMMENTS APPLY TO MANY SEDANS! ROOF IS TOO LOW! VISION IS OBSTRUCTED . CAN'T LOOK UP. CAN'T SEE TRAFFIC LIGHTS CHANGE WHEN STOPPED IN FRONT OF THEM! ROOF SUPPORTS, ESPECIALLY IN THE FRONT MAKE DANGEROUS BLIND SPOTS. ASIDE FROM THIS , I AM ONLY 6 FEET TALL. YES I AM NOW IN MY 60'S. MOST SEDANS ARE TOO LOW TO THE GROUND. I CAN'T GET IN OR OUT! ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE TO PARK BESIDE A CURB. I CAN'T GET OUT! AND JUST A NOTE: AIRBAGS SAVE LIVES BUT I HATE BUCKET SEATS AND CONSOLES WITH CUP HOLDERS. SO MANY DISTRACTIONS NOW! I WISH I COULD STILL HAVE BENCH SEATS. THANKS

2010 CHEVROLET COBALT
I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2010 AND I DIDN'T START NOTICING PROBLEMS TILL AROUND SUMMER BUT THEY WERE NOT THAT BAD TILL SEPTEMBER WERE THE CAR STARTED SHOWING STRANGE ELECTRICAL AND STEERING ISSUE. I RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER IN OCTOBER AND HAD THE POWER STEERING ISSUE FIXED BUT ITS STILL HAVE ISSUES WERE THE VEHICLE WILL SWERVE BACK AND FORTH IN RETURN I WILL HAVE TO KEEP MY HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO TRY TO KEEP IT FROM HITTING OTHER VEHICLES ON THE HIGHWAY. THEN THE BLOWER MOTOR THAT BLOWS THE HOT AND COLD AIR SOMETIMES ISTATICALLY REVS UP HIGH AND I HAVE TO TURN OF THE HEATER. ALSO I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES SQUEAL AND I ONLY HAVE 10,300 MILES. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT THE NEEDLES ON THE GAUGES IN THE DASH TEND TO TWITCH RADICALLY WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF SOMETIMES. THEN AT TIMES THE CAR WHEN TURNED ON WILL START TO ACT AS IF IT WAS TO SHUT OFF AND THE LIGHTS WOULD ALL DIM AND THEN IT WOULD STABILIZE. IT HAS DONE THAT ON THE HIGHWAY MAKING STEERING DIFFICULT AT TIMES. THE ENGINE AS WELL HAD MADE KNOCKING NOISES TO ITS BEEN AN OFF AND ON THING. *TR
