On March 27, 2014, my wife was in an accident at an intersection with another vehicle. The 2007 Chevrolet - Cobalt received major damage to the front of the vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. Luckily, my wife was not injured but could have been fatality #14 or #304 depending on the report you read regarding the airbag deployment failures and ignition problems of the Cobalt. The insurance "totaled" the car. I want to file the police report, insurance report and photos to the N.H.T.S.a.. safety devices placed in vehicles should work or don't advertise safety of the vehicle and charge the consumer for products that don't work. Please email me your claims department address. Thank you.
