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.

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
