| 2005 | AIR BAGS | AFTER DRIVING FOR 30 MINUTES AT A SPEED OF 55-60 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE, I WAS ON THE OFF RAMP MERGING FROM ONE INTERSTATE TO ANOTHER, WHEN THE CARS AHEAD OF ME STARTING SLOWING DOWN. I APPLIED A SUDDEN PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN ALSO; HOWEVER, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT SOFT AND THEN IT SEEMED LIKE THE BRAKES LOCKED, BUT DID NOT SLOW DOWN. THE CAR MADE A SUDDEN JOLT TO THE RIGHT BRINGING ME INTO THE ON COMING TRAFFIC IN THE NEXT LANE. THIS RESULTED IN A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER CAR. RESULTING IN A TOTAL LOSS TO THE COBALT. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY EVENTHOUGH THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS DESTROYED. *NM |
| 2010 | AIR BAGS | MY DAUGHTER WAS TRAVELING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD WHEN THE STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT. THE VEHICLE WENT FROM SIDE TO SIDE MOVING FROM THE RIGHT OF THE ROAD TO THE LEFT OF THE ROAD WHILE FIGHTING THE WHEEL. SHE WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR AND HER ARMS GAVE OUT AND SHE COULD NOT FIGHT IT ANYMORE AND THEN THE CAR FLIPPED AND ENDED UP ON ITS SIDE AFTER HITTING A FENCE AND FENCE POST. THE REAR AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THIS CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS AND PEOPLE NEED TO COME FORWARD WITH THIS INFORMATION. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE BEFORE MORE PEOPLE LOOSE THEIR LIVES. I COULD HAVE LOST MY DAUGHTER BECAUSE OF A DEFECT FOR WHICH I HAVE NEVER REC'D A NOTICE. *JB |
