This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I was driving my 2009 Chevy Cobalt within the posted speed limit when the power steering failed resulting in a fairly horrific crash, with the car coming to rest on the drivers side against some trees. I suffered a head injury and thank god my son was not hurt although we have both been suffering from headaches since the accident. Were it not for the small trees lining the road the car would have continued to roll possibly killing us both since none of the airbags deployed. The car was totaled and I do not have access to the VIN#.
My car would chime for me to look at instrument panel to see that the "airbags needed to be serviced".it would give me this message every 15 mins. For the hour drive I was on the road. The next day I called the dealer & set up an appointment. That afternoon when they were done with my car I was told that the mechanic had already seen this a few times & knew exactly what it was. My print out from service reads "diagnostic code #B0012 stored in system test circuit, module shorting out under steering wheel, replaced sir coil & repair circuit.* my car is a 2009 Chevrolet Cobalt lt (just purchased 06/05/09) with 2600 miles.
My wife has an defribulator pacemaker. We need the air bag disengaged. We have been haggling with the dealer for almost 2 weeks. They are dragging their feet on this matter. The heart hospital says if the air bag came out and hit my wife, it could kill her. This is the third new vehicle I have bought from dobrinski's in okeene. I need something done. I do not have to buy Chevy's. I might have to change dealers. Thank you, rusty ferrell
