WHILE DRIVING E. ON HIGHWAY 60 IN AZ, I NOTICED MY STEERING WHEEL STICKING ONCE IN A WHILE. AFTER DRIVING THRU DEVEL'S CANYON THE STEERING KEPT PULLING TO THE RIGHT A LITTLE THEN IT WOULD STOP PULLING, OVER AND OVER. WHEN I WAS ON FLAT ROAD AGAIN THE STEERING PULLED REAL SHARP TO THE RIGHT AND WOULD NOT TURN LEFT, AFTER A SECOND OF THIS THE STEERING FINALLY FREED ITSELF AGAIN BUT MAKING THE STEERING VERY TOUCHY, WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE CAR STARTED SWEERVING SIDE TO SIDE AND ENDED UP HITTING THE GUARD RAIL ON THE EAST BOUND SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS GOING APROX. 52 MPH IN A 55 MPH AREA. WHEN I HIT THE GUARD RAIL THE CAR HIT ALMOST HEAD ON AND THE AIR BAGS NEVER WENT OFF.

I HAD A FRONT IMPACT COLLISION WITH MY NEW 2007 CHEVY COBALT. I WAS TRAVELING 40 TO 45 MPH WHEN THE IMPACT OCCURED. MY AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. BY THE GRACE OF GOD I WALKED AWAY FROM THE ACCIDENT UNHARMED BUT MY CAR WAS TOTALED. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY HAD AN ENGINEER INSPECT MY CAR AND DETERMINED THE AIRBAG SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF BUT SINCE THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS AND NO ONE WAS HURT THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

PURCHASED NEW COBALT 2007 IN AUGUST OF 2006. BEGAN NOTICING HYDROPLANING AND CONTROL PROBLEMS. NOW THAT IT IS WINTER, THE CAR WILL NOT STEER, IT PULLS AND THE TRACTION IS TERRIBLE. I HAVE BEEN STUCK SEVERAL TIMES. I NO LONGER PERMIT MY WIFE TO DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE FOR FEAR OF A COLLISION OR WORSE. WE HAVE PARKED THE VEHICLE AND CONTACTED OUR DEALER WITH SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ONLY TO FALL ON DEAF EARS. THE PROPER CHANNELS TO REPORT THIS HAS BEEN FOLLOWED BUT TP NO AVAIL HAS ANYTHING BEEN DONE TO REPLACE THE TIRES (SAFETY FIRST) AND WE FEEL SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE A SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OCCURS. WE HAVE SEARCHED AND FOUND NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE TOURING CONTACT AS TIRE AND BELIEVE THAT OURS HAS SOME VERY SERIOUS PROBLEMS. WE NEED HELP NOW. *NM
