MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH IN OUR 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT ON 23 FEBRUARY 2018. CAR LOST POWER TO POWER STEERING MOTOR, ABS BRAKES, AND AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AFTER HITTING A TREE DUE TO LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING ABILITY. I DROVE THE CAR THE MORNING BEFORE THE CRASH AND NOTICED THE GAUGES AND SPEEDOMETER FLUCTUATING MOVING ALL AROUND, POWER STEERING LIGHT FLASHING ON DASH, I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTED CAR IT THEN WENT AWAY. MY WIFE THEN DROVE THE CAR GOING TO HER WORK AND SHE CALLED ME ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER LEAVING OUR HOUSE SAYING SHE HAS LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR WITH NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES, SHE WAS SCARED AND HYSTERICAL AND SAID SHE HAD CRASHED UNDER A TREE WITH IN 1 MILE OF OUR HOUSE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACTING THE TREE. I WENT TO HELP HER, I MISSED SEEING THE CAR ON THE FIRST PASS BY, BECAUSE IT WAS IN A BRIAR PATCH UNDER A TREE AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES AND THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGE DONE. SHE IS VERY LUCKY THAT SHE WAS NOT INJURED. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR RECALLS FOR POWER STEERING MOTOR(2) AND IGNITION SWITCH (1). IT WAS NOT RAINING THE DAY OF THE CRASH, SHE CRASHED APPROXIMATELY 10:20 AM. I PULLED THE CAR OUT OF THE BRIAR PATCH AND DROVE IT BACK TO OUR HOUSE. I FEEL THAT THIS CRASH WAS DUE TO THE CAR LOSING POWER TO STEERING, BRAKING AND AIR BAGS. MY WIFE SAID THERE WAS A ON COMING CAR, THAT SHE WAS TRYING TO AVOID HITTING, WHEN THE CAR ENTERED THE GRASS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD THE SOFT GROUND PULLED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD INTO THE FIELD AND CAME TO A STOP AFTER HITTING A BRIAR PATCH AND TREE. IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE MY WIFE OR SOMEONE ELSE COULD BE DEAD BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS THE CHEVROLET COBALT HAS HAD. I FILED A CLAIM WITH OUR INSURANCE COMPANY WITH $500 DEDUCTIBLE, SO WE WILL PROBABLY BE WITHOUT A CAR BECAUSE OF THIS ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR.

Official recalls
5Apr 10, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR, 2007-2010 Pontiac G5, 2006-2010 Pontiac Solstice, 2003-2007 Saturn Ion, and 2007-2010 Saturn Sky vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the "Off" position.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key can be removed from the ignition when the ignition is not in the "off" position, the vehicle could roll away: (a) for an automatic transmission, if the transmission is not in the "Park" position; or (b) for a manual transmission, if the parking brake is not engaged and the transmission is not in the "Reverse" position. This potential for rollaway increases the risk for a crash and occupant or pedestrian injuries.
Remedy: General Motors will notify owners, and for vehicles that were built with the defective ignition cylinder and have not previously had the ignition cylinder replaced with the redesigned part, dealers will replace the ignition cylinder and cut and, if necessary, re-learn two ignition/door keys for each vehicle. For vehicles that were built with the redesigned ignition cylinder or had the ignition cylinder replaced with the redesigned part, dealers will cut and, if necessary, re-learn two ignition/door keys for each vehicle. The recall began on April 18, 2014. Chevrolet owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-222-1020, Pontiac owners at 1-800-762-2737, and Saturn owners at 1-800-553-6000. General Motors' number for this recall is 14113 for the ignition lock cylinder and key replacement, and 14133 for only key replacements. Note: Until a vehicle has been remedied, owners and operators are advised that when exiting, to be sure that the vehicle is in "Park," or in the case of a manual transmission, that the vehicle is in the "Reverse" position and the parking brake is engaged.
Feb 10, 2014
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on February 10, 2014 that they are recalling 619,122 model year 2005-2007 Chevrolet Cobalt, and 2007 Pontiac G5 vehicles. On February 25, 2014, GM increased the recall to include an additional 748,024 model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet HHR and Pontiac Solstice vehicles and 2003-2007 Saturn Ion vehicles and 2007 Saturn Sky vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine. On March 27, 2014, GM notified the agency that the defective ignition switches may have been used as service replacement parts on other vehicles, and as a result GM will be recalling certain model year 2008-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, Saturn Sky, and Pontiac G5 and Solstice, and 2008-2011 Chevrolet HHR vehicles. The part numbers for the service parts are 10392423 (a/k/a ACDelco D1461F), 10392737, 15857948, 15854953, 15896640, and 25846762. This expansion represents an additional 823,788 vehicles.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. An interim notification was issued to owners of 2007 and earlier models on March 10, 2014, informing them of the safety defect. Owners of 2008 and later vehicles will be mailed an interim letter on April 21, 2014. All affected owners will receive another letter once parts are available. The recall began on April 18, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, Pontiac at 1-800-762-2737 or Saturn at 1-800-553-6000. GM's number for the initial recall is 13454 and 14063 for the expansion. GMs recall number for the vehicles that may have received the replacement parts is 14092. Note: Until the recall repairs have been performed, it is very important that customers remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the vehicle key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. Always wear your seatbelt.
