Problems with 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt AIR BAGS

When turning the car on there is a message on the dash saying service air bag. but if you turn it off and on it is gone. it could be a short in the system or something really wrong.

My car fuel pump modulator problem. that has been on recall. but not for my vehicle. i do not know the history of what stat it origionally was bought in. but i think if those cars have recall why shouldnt mine? it now leaks gas under gas tank and when i tried to start it gives me hard time. it started 7/2019. makes car bog down when accelerating. does it sitting and when moving

Car was stationary then got in and car wouldn't start and key wouldn't go to off position once key was inserted. after jump start all information miles etc was cleared. when driving seems like it won't go into next gear. speedometer stopped working and going slow even 20 mph ramps up to 4-4.5 rpm. power steering warning and , airbag warning stays on in addition to engine light. tire pressure information started working on 3 of 4 when stopped working a year ago.

My daughter was in a wreck 3/15/19. her car flipped and she and her friend were injured. not one airbag deployed

Wiring harness in driver's side front door creates an electrical short that disables side impact sensors/airbags. symptoms match exactly the an existing recall (15v500000) that lists only the 2010 model year as being affected. the disabling of the airbag happens every time the driver's side window is rolled down. this occurs when driving and stationary.

This has happened twice, my car wont start and the anti theft on the dash comes on but there's nothing on to kill the battery. also sometimes while driving my service air bag light comes on but goes off right after. last thing is my power locks would go crazy just locking and unlocking either when the car was off or in motion.

While i was starting the car my air bag lights started blinking on and off. while traveling on city streets the air bags was also blinking on and off.

Received a letter in march 2015 from general motors advising that the clock spring coil wires to the driver air bag may become chaffed on a sharp edge of the steering wheel horn plate and that if this defect is not corrected and the chafed wire was to ground to the horn plate the driver air bag may not deploy if the vehicle were to be involved in a crash. the letter goes on to advise that if i believe that the vehicle has the condition described above is present the condition will be repaired for me at no charge. i called two dealers and told them that i believe that the condition is present in my vehicle and have been told that unless the air bag instrument indicator lamp continuously displays a warning light for the air bag they will not consider my vehicle for repair. my son, of thai descent who does not understand much english has advised me that he has seen the light come on intermittently. the letter states that if the light is intermittent that is reason to believe that this condition may be present. since gm is not willing to consider my vehicle for repair since the light is not continuously lit i consider this letter a safety warning and want to go on record that i believe this is a safety issue which is subject of my complaint. i also believe that this letter on the part of gm will be used to defeat any claim i am have if the air bag does not deploy. what am i to do, wait until my son has an accident and the air bag does not deploy or are you wiling to assist me in getting my car repaired.

Vehicle has service air bag light on, light goes off and on, has been doing this at all speeds, but never stays on for more than a minute. car had this light on when i purchased this car from a dodge dealer in dec.2011, and they said that they repaired it, but it was not reported in detail to gm warranty service, so they lied. now car needs air bag repairs, not covered by any warranty, and it will cost over $900.00, and car only has 88,464 miles on it. this was told to me by a chevrolet dealer who is doing the ignition switch recall for my car. i don't have that kind of money, as i'm still making car loan payments for the next 4 years. i think this is awful, air bags and sensors should last longer than 88,464 miles. my 1997 saturn never had air bag problems, and it ran until 297,336 miles. awful, too expensive to repair!!!!!, no assistance with paying for airbag repair, and can't sell car unless it is repaired. the dodge dealer who sold me the car should be held liable, as they did work to get the service air bag light off, when i purchased the car from them. they hid the information from me, when i purchased the car. air bags do not need ongoing service. *tr

Intermittently, my air bag warning light comes on, and in the message center on my dash board, the message "service air bag" is seen. it is intermittent and is happening more often, sometimes up to 5 times in a 20 mile drive. speed does not seem to make a difference as it happens when i am stopped, and at any speed. road conditions also do not seem to have an effect as it happens in snow, rain, dry, bumpy or smooth roads. i have physically called gm to report this as well. i am taking my vehicle to my local dealer to be checked as i was told it is probably a "bad connection" which is scary. bad connection as in they won't go off when i need them, or bad connection as in they can go off while driving. *tr

As i was pulling into the garage i always look to see exactly where i should stop. as i stepped on the gas pedal to pull up a little bit more the car accelerated and would not stop when i stepped on the brake and went into my son's tool box and if it wasn't there would of gone through the dining room wall out the other side. as it was the tool box went into the wall. the air bags did not deploy and the windshield wipers kept on go as full speed, the tires were spinning and there were skid marks on the floor. the brakes went down to the floor. the garage was full of smoke from the tires that is how fast the car was going. i had trouble shutting off the car.

I was traveling on highway in the middle lane at app. 60 mph when without warning, swerving, hitting a bump or having an accident, we heard a loud bang and the front and back passenger curtain airbag deployed hitting my passenger in the right side of his head. i looked down at the warning panel on the dash which stated...service airbag after the incident occurred.....i was thankful that i did not loose control of the car at the time or this incident.....also very thankful that i did not have one of my grandchildren in the back seat or they would have been hit by this airbag......ages 11 years and 16 months!!!!!!!! my passenger was not injured....just some soreness of his face and ear. my car was taken to the dealership the next morning where gm was notified. there was an investigation and inspection by gm and my car was repaired at no cost to me. during the 30 days that the dealership had my car i was in direct contact with a gm customer service rep. who kept me up to date on repairs and assured me that the other airbags were also checked. i repeatedly did ask if there would be a recall due to this incident but was told there would be no recall at this time since this was an unusual occurrence. *tr
