2007 CHEVROLET COBALT Complaints

I WAS GETTING IN MY CAR TO GO HOME, AND THE SERVICE AIR BAG SOON APPEARED ON THE SCREEN WHERE THE ODOMETER IS. IT WENT OFF FOR ABOUT 5 TO 7 DAYS, THEN CAME ON AGAIN. I WENT TO JON HALL CHEVROLET IN DAYTONA BEACH TO LOOK UP RECALLS. I WAS TOLD ALL WERE TAKEN CARE OF. IN AND AROUND NOVEMBER 12TH, 2014, IT CAME ON, AND ON NOVEMBER 21ST, 2014, IT HAS COME ON AGAIN. I AM LEASING THIS CAR FROM DRIVE TIME. I HAVE CONTACTED THEIR LEASE WARRANTY DEPARTMENT, AND THEY SAID IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE CARE OF THIS. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO, CAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE I'M GOING TO THE RIGHT RESOURCES, BUT GIVEN THE RUN AROUND ABOUT WHAT TO DO. IS THERE ANY HELP FOR ME IN MY SITUATION? THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CAR WAS TOTALED FOLLOWING A LOSS OF STEERING AND POWER BRAKES- CRASHING INTO A GUARDRAIL THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. *TR

FUEL LINE LOCATED APPROXIMATELY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE VEHICLE IS LEAKING AND APPEARS TO BE RUSTED OUT. THIS FUEL LINE RUNS PARALLEL TO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND WITH FUEL LEAKING IS A POTENTIAL FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD. LOCAL DEALER TELSL ME IT WILL COST SOMEWHERE BETWEEN $700 TO $1,000 TO REPAIR. MY ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND I BELIEVE THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRE SHOULD BE OF IMMEDIATE CONCERN. *TR

MY SPEAKERS ON THE FRONT OF THE CAR GO ON AND OFF AS WELL AS MY INSIDE TURN SIGNALS. NOW IT HAS PROGRESSED TO THE CHECK AIR BAG INDICATOR GOING ON AND OFF WHILE STARTING AND DURING DRIVING. I HAVE INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS SEVERAL ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE AIRBAG PORTION OF IT SCARES ME AS I AM ONLY 5 FT TALL AND SIT CLOSE TO THE WHEEL. I DON'T WANT TO FORK OVER MORE MONEY THAN THE CAR IS WORTH ESPECIALLY SINCE I KNOW THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY NOT HAVE A RECALL ON AT LEAST THE AIRBAG PART OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

MY CAR HAS A LOT OF ELECTRICAL SHORTAGES OR JUST DON'T WORK. THE UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE DRIVER SIDE WILL NOT UNLOCK THE REST OF THE DOORS AND THE LOCK BUTTON YOU HAVE TO HIT MULTIPLE TIMES FOR IT TO WORK. I HAVE NO SOUND OUT OF THE SPEAKER IN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND I HAVE REPLACED IT TWICE AND IT JUST CONTINUES TO BLOW. I HAVE NO SOUND WHILE MY TURN SINGLE IS ON. MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS DISABLED AND I HAVE A WARNING THAT SAYS SERVICE AIR BAG AND THE ICON FOR THE AIRBAG ON MY PANEL. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT AND NOBODY CAN SEEM TO DETERMINE WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THE SOUND ON MY RADIO FADES IN AND OUT AND THE BUTTON TO TURN THE HEAT ON FOR REAR DEFROST, AIR CONDITIONER AND THE ONE TO CIRCULATE THE CAR ONLY WORKED WHEN THEY WANT TO. AND EVERY SINCE I HAD THE IGNITION AND THOSE RECALLS FIXED THE BUTTONS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY STEERING WHEEL (INFO, RESET BUTTONS) ONLY WORK OCCASIONALLY. *TR

SPEAKERS ON THE FRONT LEFT OF THE CAR HAD STOPPED WORKING. THERE WHERE NO RADIO OR TURN SIGNAL SOUNDS. I AM NOT EXACTLY SURE OF THE DATE OF ANY OF THE INCIDENCES BUT ONE OF THE TIMES I HAD 1OF THE SPEAKERS THEY ORDERED FACTORY SPEAKERS AND THEY ALSO STOPPED WORKING. I BROUGHT IT TO THERE ATTENTION AGAIN AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT AND GET BACK TO ME. I NEVER GOT AN ANSWER AND I GOT BUSY WITH WORK ANDNLIFE IN GENERAL. THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY WHEN I BROUGHT IT UP. WHEN I MENTIONED IT AGAIN THE ANSWER I GOT WAS THAT THEY COULD ORDER NEW (STOCK) SPEAKERS AND I WAS TOLD THE COST. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A SECOND REPLACEMENT AND MAY HAVE WORKED BUT I DIDN'T FEEL I SHOULD BE THE PERSON PAYING FOR THEM. I FEEL THEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. *TR

SEAT BELT ICON AND LIGHT GO OFF AND ON PANEL ON DRIVERS SIDE. CANNOT TELL IF THIS IS JUST AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM OR SOMETHING SERIOUS. NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO CHECK IT OUT. ONE REPAIR SHOP SAID THAT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT EMPLOY IF IN ACCIDENT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN AND SUDDENLY LOST ALL POWER. I HAD TO USE THE MOMENTUM OF THE CAR TO MOVE OVER 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC IN ORDER TO GET PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HAD IT TOWED TO THE MECHANIC AND FOUND OUT THAT BOTH THE FUEL PUMP AND THE ELECTRICAL PANEL UNDER MY FUSE BOX HAD GONE OUT. THIS COST ME OVER $1800.00 TO HAVE FIXED AND THE MECHANIC STATES GM WAS AWARE OF THE FUSE BOX ISSUE AND TO WATCH FOR A RECALL. ALSO THE FUEL PUMP WAS A SPECIALTY THAT WAS NOT PLACED IN MOST CARS OF THIS YEAR/MODEL AND HAD TO BE ORDERED FROM THE FACTORY. THE PROBLEMS THAT ARE HAPPENING WITH THESE CARS ARE RIDICULOUS. GM SHOULD HAVE TO PAY THE OWNERS TO HAVE THE ENTIRE CAR REPLACED. *TR

THE RADIO STARTED DISPLAYING PHONE AND DID NOT WORK, I DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION TO PLUG IN A PHONE TO MY CAR. THIS HAPPENED OFF AND ON FOR A WEEK THEN ON 11/17/2014 I WENT TO START THE CAR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START, THE GAUGES WENT CRAZY AND THE IGNITION LOCKED AND WILL NOT LET ME TAKE THE KEY OUT. THE ANTI THEFT ICON KEEPS COMING ON AND I NOW HAVE TO TOW IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CARS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND FROM READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS HERE IT SEEMS THAT GM SHOULD BE INVESTIGATING THESE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND EXPANDING RECALLS FOR THESE ISSUES. *TR
