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.

The service air bag light comes on intermittently. It is nothing specific that does it. I could be going 10mph or 70mph on the highway and it just all of the sudden comes on. It is on anywhere from 5-30 seconds each time and then goes off and this happens multiple times per day. Unable to know what's wrong because if its not on when its brought in there is nothing they can do.

I was stopped at a traffic light with my foot on the brake waiting for the light to change to green. The passenger airbag curtains both deployed and blew out the headliner of the vehicle. It was about 80 degrees and dry. I went to the dealer who said the incident was an insurance claim. My insurance company denied the claim saying there was no accident. A GM investigator read the data box and the cdr file information shows there was no event recorded to recover. Something was preventing the data box from being read at the computer port under the dash, they had to remove the data box and plug their computer directly into it. Initially GM claimed I put the vehicle in a rollover situation. Now that has been proven wrong, they are saying something like moisture made the airbag deploy. My vehicle is unusable and sitting because of GM's failure to step up and do something about my case.

Air bags did not deploy in a 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt crash that caused $7,200 in damage and on star did not call or report the crash. When I asked why, I was told "because the "brains" of onstar was "knocked out" in the crash, that shut down the air bag system and other safety measures." Fortunately, this crash did not cause any bodily harm to the person involved, but the whole front end of the car was pushed in, radiator was pushed back, with lots of other damage. The person in the car was fine, but if the engine would have been pushed in further in, it could have been in the lap or, even worse, the chest of the person driving. I do not have on star for it to be "disabled" in a crash because of where it is placed in the vehicle. This seriously needs to be examined and fixed before someone does really get hurt, if this had not happened already.
