"AIRBAG SERVICE REQUIRED" LIGHT STARTED APPEARING ON DASHBOARD APPROX 1 MONTH AGO ONCE HITTING CLOSE TO 100,000 MILES. IT OCCURRED AT A RANDOM TIME WHILE IN MOTION, DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS OR DAMAGE. LIGHT OF AIRBAG SERVICE STARTED APPEARING RANDOMLY. AT FIRST IT WOULD TURN ON AND OFF; NOW IT CONSTANTLY APPEARS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO USED CAR DEALER THAT I BOUGHT CAR FROM; THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO CALL GENERAL MOTORS BECAUSE IT APPEARS AS A SAFETY ISSUE AFTER THEY INVESTIGATED IT. GENERAL MOTORS TOLD ME IT WAS NOT A RECALL, YET THEY WERE AWARE IT IS A SERVICE ISSUE MULTIPLE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL HAVE DEALT WITH. THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO TAKE IT TO NEAREST CHEVY DEALER TO HAVE IT SERVICES AT A UNREASONABLE COST. CALLED LOCAL CHEVY DEALER THEY WANTED DIAGNOSING PAYMENT PLUS PAYMENT TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE. I DID NOT TAKE VEHICLE TO CHEVY BECAUSE THE PRICING IS OUTRAGEOUS, THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED WITH MULTIPLE VEHICLES OR THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. OTHERS HAVE WRITTEN ONLINE ABOUT PAYING FOR THE SERVICE AND IT OCCURRING AGAIN OR EVEN ACCIDENTS OCCURRING WITH AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE WALKING PAST THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT SMELLED A FUEL ODOR. HE NOTICED THERE WAS A LEAK UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GREG BELL CHEVROLET CADILLAC (1313 US-223, ADRIAN, MI 49221, (877) 265-7156) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LINES WERE DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

I HAD BEEN DRIVING MY CAR FOR ABOUT A HALF HOUR PARKED. WENT IN THE HOUSE FOR HALF HOUR CAME BACK TO THE CAR TO GO OUT STARTED THE CAR THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. I WENT TO TURN THE WHEEL IT SO HAD TO TURN SO I TURNED IT OFF. WENT UNDER THE HOOD TO SEE WHERE THE POWER STEERING FLUID WENT COULDN'T FIND IT. WHAT WRONG WITH MY CAR.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON,TURNS LIGHTS NOT WORKING

THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY. WHILE LIT THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT FUNCTION. IT HAS BEEN LOOKED AT BY A CHEVROLET DEALER AT LEAST TWICE (12/2010 AND 2/2011). BOTH OF THOSE TIMES THE ERROR CODE WAS B0020. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC ON 8/2015 AND CODES B1370, B0081, AND B0020 SHOWED. THE PROBLEM WAS ALWAYS FIXED, TEMPORARILY, BY APPLYING CONNECTOR GREASE TO THE WIRE CONNECTIONS. ON 9/2017, THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE PASSENGER SEATBELT RETRACTOR. THIS ALSO FIXED THE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY. BY PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO WHEN THE WARNING LIGHT COMES ON WE HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE SENSOR IS AFFECTED BY THE INTERIOR TEMPERATURE OF THE CAR. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE APPROXIMATELY 65F THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND RENDERS THE SAFETY OF THE AIRBAGS USELESS! I HAVE YET TO FIND ANY PERMANENT FIX FOR THE ISSUE. HOWEVER THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY OTHERS ONLINE. IT SEEMS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME THAT A VITAL PIECE OF SAFETY EQUIPMENT IS MALFUNCTIONING YET THE MANUFACTURER/DEALER WILL NOT TAKE ANY STEPS TO FIX IT.

THERE IS AN OBSERVED LEAK ON DRIVER SIDE, IN FRONT OF THE REAR TIRE. SMELL OF GAS IS PROMINENT WHEN PARKED. GAS IS DRIPPING FROM FUEL LINES ATTACHED TO FRAME.

THIS CAR HAS A RECALL ALREADY IN REGARDS TO FUEL LEAKAGE BUT ONLY FOR VEHICLES IN CERTAIN STATES. MY CAR LEAKS FUEL AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HAD TO CORRECT AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL, AS WITHIN THE PAST TWO YEARS I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL LINE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE FOR ALL COBALTS AS I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AS THOSE IN ARC, AZ, ETC. I HAVE LIVED AND HAD MY VEHICLE REGISTERED IN TX AS WELL. THIS ISSUE MAKES IT WHERE THE CAR LEAKS GAS ONTO THE PAVEMENT WHEN STATIONARY OR COME TO A STOP. THE CAR RUNS HARD DUE TO LEAKING FUEL AND AFRAID IT WILL RUN OUT OF GAS.

IGNITION CONTROL MODULE OR CAM SHAFT SENSORS! CAR JUST STOPS WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN HAVE PROBLEMS STARTING BACK UP.

THE VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE GAS LINK THAT CONNECTS TO THE GAS TANK. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON AND OFFICE ISSUE. THIS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BOTH ON A OFFICE. I CAN GO FROM HAVING A HALF OF TANK TO NEARLY EMPTY THE SAME DAY. THE FUMES ARE SO STRONG I CAN NOT PART THE VEHICLE IN MY GARAGE.

FUEL IS LEAKING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND MAY HAVE A BAD EVAP CANNISTER VALVE ACCORDING TO A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK.

LEAKING FUEL AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE AND IS A COMMON ISSUE.

I'VE HAD THE CAR FOR 2 YEARS I HAVE EXPERIENCED A POWER STEERING PROBLEMS THE STEERING WHEEL HAS LOCKED UP ON AND SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE ALSO SEEN ON YOUTUBE THAT A YOUNG MAN DIED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING UP ON HIM A 2007 CHEVY COBALT AS WELL I'M VERY CONCERNED I DRIVE WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR I HAVE TO GO TO A DEALERSHIP NOW TO REPLACE HIS CAR AND PAY MONEY THAT I DO NOT HAVE KNOWING THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL I SEEN IT ON YOUTUBE AND A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PART.

I WAS DRIVING AND CAME TO A STOP LIGHT WHILE I NOTICED TGE HOOD WAS SMOKING WHEN I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND POPPED MY HOOD I REALIZED MY ENGINE WAS ON FIRE VERY SMALL BY COOLENT THERMOSTAT WHEN LOOKING UNDER THE CAR I REALISED THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF OIL

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED(~6 MONTHS APART). WHEN I'M GOING AROUND 50-60 MPH AND NEED TO HIT THE BRAKES TO SLOW THE CAR QUICKLY (NOT SLAM THE BRAKES), THEY LOCK UP. I HIT THE BRAKES AND TURNED TO THE LEFT THE FIRST TIME AND TURNED TO THE RIGHT THE SECOND. BOTH TIMES THE FRONT BRAKES LOCKED UP, I WENT FISHTAILING ACROSS 3 LANES AND ENDING UP FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC BOTH TIMES. I'VE BEEN LUCKY BOTH TIMES AND NOT BEEN HIT BY ANYONE ELSE BUT I'M SURE MY LUCK WILL RUN OUT ONE DAY. ADDITIONAL NOTE: THE CAR TURNED OFF THE FIRST TIME. AND THE 2ND TIME, THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE WAS SHREDDED.--2007 COBALT- 125K MILES. BRAKE JOB DONE 2016. THIS ENTRY IS 2/27/19.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET COBALT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, CLICKING NOISES WERE HEARD WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED AND THE POWER STEERING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

THE FULE LINE HAS RUSTED OUT AND LEAKING GAS. THIS PROBLEM HA HAPPENED TO MY CAR AND ITHE SAME PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED TO A COWORKERS CAR. THE SAME AREA OF THE FULE LINE.

IT STARTING HAVING FLASHING DASHBOARD LIGHTS ONCE AS I WAS DRIVING IT JUST A FEW BLOCKS FROM MY HOME THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED ALL GAUGES GO EVERYWHERE UP DOWN OR STOP IT LOOKS LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE! AND BEFORE THE GEAR SHIFT HAD SOME CLICKING AT TIMES. THE CLICKING STARTED THEN THE GAUGES STARTED GOING ALL OVER AND THE SPEED WAS ALL OVER THEN DROPPED TO 0 NOT TO MOVE AGAIN. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT 8 YEARS BUT AS TIME GOES ON IT'S GETTING REALLY BAD I'VE KEPT LOOKING FOR RECALLS AS DID MY MOTHER AS SHE HAD THE CAR BEFORE MY OWNING IT. IT NOW DOES THIS ANYTIME AND THE STEERING STOPS WORKING WITH NO NOTICE OR IF IT'S NOT WORKING AND TRYING TO PULL OVER AS IT DID ON AN ON-RAMP IT KICKED ON AND MADE THE CAR JUMP INTO SIDE LANE ABOUT HALF WAY INTO THAT LANE. HAD IT BEEN A TWO LANE ROAD AND A CAR COMING TOWARDS ME IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DEAD HEAD HEAD ON COLLISION AS IT TAKES TIME AND A LOT OF POWER TO MOVE THE CAR WHEN THE STEERING IS LIKE A 1950 TRACTOR IN A WET FIELD! I HAVE BACK ISSUES AND DON'T HAVE THE UPPER ARM STRENGTH THAT IT REALLY NEEDS. THERE IN NO REAL WARNING WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. BUT SOMETIMES I HEAR A CLICK AND IT HAPPENS A FEW SECONDS LATER. ALSO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS EVERY ONE THROUGH INSIDE OF THE CAR STOPPED WORKING ABOUT 3 MONTHS WHEN MY PARENTS BOUGHT THE CAR USED BACK IN JUNE 08 THEY HAVE NEVER WORKED SINCE. IT HAD LIKE 23,000 MILES ON IT ROUGHLY. THEY WAS IN MIDDLE 60S BACK THEN. IT'S NOW A FAMILY CAR AND IT'S SCARY TO HAVE TO DRIVE IT BUT

2 FUEL LEAKS REQUIRED EXTENSIVE & EXPENSIVE WORK: #1: FUEL LINE RUSTED COMPLETELY IN AREAS WHERE CLAMPS ATTACHED FUEL LINE TO CAR BODY ALONG DRIVER'S SIDE-FRONT 2 BACK. #2- PLASTIC 'L'-SHAPED PIECES CONNECTING FUEL LINES TO FUEL PUMP@GAS TANK DEVELOPED CRACKS. BOTH ISSUES CAUSED FUEL LEAKS WHILE ENGINE RUNNING CREATING EXTREME FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD-ESPECIALLY BCUZ GAS LEAKS WERE DIFFICULT TO DETECT WHILE CAR IN MOTION EXCEPT FOR SOME GAS FUMES. GAS PUDDLES ONLY OCCUR IF IDLING IN 1 PLACE - OTHERWISE IT WAS ALL 'BLOWBACK' WHILE MOVING & HAD THE FUEL LINE NOT NEEDED REPLACED THE L-PIECES CRACKS MAY OF GONE UNNOTICED UNTIL COMPLETE FAILURE BECAUSE FUMES & LEAKS BLOW AWAY WHILE DRIVING... WE ARE LUCKY TO NOT HAVE EXPLODED CUZ WE SMOKE &/OR ANY SPARK COULD'VE CAUSED A BOOM!

MY FUEL LINE BEGAN LEAKING PROFUSELY. I AM LOSING QUITE A BIT OF GASOLINE AND I AM CONCERNED THAT IT MAY CATCH FIRE AND KILL ME. I SEE THAT CERTAIN 2007 COBALTS WERE RECALLED OVER THIS ISSUE AND AM WONDERING WHY MINE WASN'T. THE LEAK OCCURS CONTINUOUSLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING, WHETHER I AM STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

STEERING IS VERY HARD TO TURN WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY.

MY COBALT IS NOT LISTED IN THE FUEL PUMP-FUEL LINE RECALLS THAT NUMEROUS OTHERS ARE LISTED IN, YET, I'VE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM! ALSO, THE FUEL LINES ARE RUSTING THROUGH AT THE METAL CLAMP SITES AND LEAKING GAS TOO! I BELIEVE THIS RECALL NEEDS EXTENDED TO COVER ALL VEHICLES DEVELOPING THIS PROBLEM!

GAS SMELL IS AWFUL AN GAS LEAKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AT THE TANK! NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ASAP! MANY HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM

THE STEERING GIVES OUT ON MY 2007 CHEVY COBALT AND THERE IS PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEN IT DOES WORK AS WELL AS POPPING AND RATTLING NOISES. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, HARD TO STEER, THE STEERING LOCKS UP AND I HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES AS A RESULT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN TURNING EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT.

THE STEERING GIVES OUT AND LOCKS UP WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION WHEN TURNING EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. THERE IS ALSO PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR SITTING STATIONARY. THE STEERING MAKES POPPING AND RATTLING NOISES WHEN TURNING EITHER DIRECTION WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR WHEN SITTING STATIONARY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CHEVY COBALT AND I HAVE LOST CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE AS A RESULT OF THESE ISSUES WENT OFF THE ROAD INTO THE DITCH AND BARLEY AVOIDED A HEAD ON COLLISION.

OEM FUEL LINES ARE EXTREMELY PRONE TO RUSTING AND ROTTING OUT. HAVE DONE RESEARCH ONLINE AND THIS IS A VERY FAST PROBLEM THAT HAD A RECALL DONE ON PREVIOUS YEARS (RECALL/WARRENTY EXTENSION REFERENCE #12191) DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS THE FUEL LINE CAN VIBRATE AND RUST THROUGH CAUSING A FUEL LINE LEAK/RUPTURE.

TAKATA RECALL AS I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT ALL THE DASHBOARD NEEDLES WENT CRAZY THEN MY STEERING WAS HARD TO TURN SO I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE, I TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT DIDN'T WANT TO START EVENTUALLY IT STARTED AFTER A FEW MORE TRYS TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON. ALSO THE KEY IGNITION IS HARD TO TURN WHEN INSERTING THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION, AIR BAG SERVICE IS ALWAYS SHOWING ON MY DASH WHEN I'M DRIVING

I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND PUT IN REVERSE AND I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WAS A LITTLE STIFF. I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW THE POWER STEERING SIGNAL ON THE DASH. ON THE EXPRESSWAY, ON THE WAY HOME, AT TIMES IT WORKED SMOOTHLY AND AT OTHER TIMES IT GOT HARD TO HANDLE. IT WAS FAIRLY CONSISTENT (ON WORKING INTERMITTENTLY) ON THE WAY HOME EVEN ON MAIN ROADS DOING 35-45 MILES PER HOUR.
