2006 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

AIR BAG LIGHTS COME ON CAR IS HARD TO STEER AIR CONDITIONING DOES NOT WORK ANY MORE AND I GET AN ENGINE REDUCE POWER LIGHT COMES ON

"TAKATA RECALL" ON 3/30/18 I WAS INVOLVED IN A WRECK. I WAS TRAVELING ON A BUSY CITY STREET WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED RED. I STOPPED AND THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME WAS DRIVING A LARGE SUV. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND TRAFFIC BEGAN TO MOVE I STARTED DRIVING. OUT OF NOWHERE WITH NO WARNING, THE DRIVER JUST STOPPED AND MY CAR RAN INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. WE BOTH STAYED IN OUR VEHICLES I CALLED 911. OFFICERS ARRIVED AND EMERGENCY SERVICES. EVEN THOUGH HARDLY ANY DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE SUV, MY CAR SUSTAINED A LOT OF DAMAGE TO THE HOOD AND BUMPER OF MY CAR. THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I THOUGHT MY CAR WAS TOTALED BY LOOKING AT IT. I WAS ABLE TO HAVE MOST OF MY CAR REPAIRED OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE I HAD LIABILITY ONLY AT THE TIME. THE PASSENGER IN FRONT OF ME AFTER GIVING INFORMATION TO THE RESPONDERS WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY, I WAS NOT. I'VE ALSO HAD ANOTHER ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY IN 2014. I AM CONCERNED THAT I MIGHT BE IN ANOTHER ACCIDENT THAT COULD BE LIFE-THREATENING AND THE AIRBAGS WON'T WORK. I CONTACTED GM ABOUT MY CONCERNS REGARDING THE AIRBAGS AND NOTHING WAS DONE TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS CHECKED. I WAS ABLE TO HAVE THE SWITCH CHANGED WHEN THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THAT. I HOPE BY SHARING MY EXPERIENCE WITH YOU SOMETHING CAN BE DONE TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS CHECKED AND GIVE ME A SENSE OF SECURITY WHEN DRIVING MY VEHICLE.

EVERY TIME IT GETS TOO HOT OUTSIDE MY POWER STEERING COMES ON IN MY CAR SWITCH MAKES IT JERK THE CAR AND MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON...THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING AND WHEN IT'S STATIONARY. WHEN IT'S STATIONARY IT LOCKS MY STEERING WHEEL AND IT'S MOVING IT MAKES THE CAR JERK

FOR THE PAST THREE DAYS DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK MY CHEVY COBALT HAS BEEN PUTTING ME IN DANGER. WHEN I START TO BREAK, SOMETIMES THE SYMBOL WITH A LOCK AND KEY, AND AIR BAG LIGHTS WILL TURN ON AND THE CAR STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK AND THE BRAKES WOULD COME UP RESULTING IN THE CAR BEING TURNED OFF WHILE I AM ON DRIVE. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I CANNOT TURN THE WHEEL AND THE BRAKE IS ALSO LOCKED. I GET OUT OF MY CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC TO PUSH IT BY MYSELF THEN JUMP IN IT AND TRY TO START IT. THIS METHOD WORKS SOMETIMES BUT IS DANGEROUS TO NOT ONLY MYSELF BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY OTHERS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS THE MAIN CAUSE FOR THIS ISSUE HOWEVER I DID SOME RESEARCH AND DID NOT SEE ANY RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. I NEED HELP FINGERING IT OUT BEFORE I HURT MYSELF OR OTHERS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD DRIVING UNABLE TO STEER OR BREAK

'TAKATA RECALL' MY MOTHER'S COBALT HAS STALLED ON HER MANY TIMES AT STOPLIGHTS AND ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS BECAUSE WHEN THE CAR MAKES A STOP AT A STOPLIGHT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND POWER STEERING AND EVERYTHING GOES OUT AND THE KEY WON'T TURN. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CAR TO DRIVE IN PLEASE PUT A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE, SHE IS AN OLDER WOMAN AND IT ISN'T SAFE FOR ANYONE TO DRIVE AT THIS POINT. ONE OF THE ALMOST ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET AND SHE ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED SINCE SHE COULDN'T MOVE IN TIME AND THE CAR GOES OUT AT ANY MOMENT IT WANTS TO.

2006 COBALT HAS BEEN SHOWING THE POWER STEERING DISPLAY ON THE DASH LIGHT AND WHEN IT DOES THE ENGINE STARTS HESITATING AND ROUGH IDLE I READ A FEW MINUTES AGO ABOUT A RECALL OF MAYBE THE SAME SITUATION A FEW YEARS BACK BUT DIDN'T KNOW THAT AT THE TIME AND DIDN'T THINK THAT MY COBALT WOULD HAVE THAT PROBLEM
