We had our battery replaced in our vehicle november 15, 2016. Since that time our "service passenger airbag" light has come one. We took it to our mechanic on 3/3/2017 and he reported that we needed a new module that would correct the service passenger airbag light. We drove our car home and before we even got home the service light had returned. We took it back the next business day and they checked it again and said we needed a new sensor for the passenger seat. Since that time we have not taken it back as we are wondering if that will just require another electronic fix. Does this effect the seat belt working correctly? If so, I think this is a very dangerous situation.

I noticed that there was no turn signal sound indicating the turn signal was in use. At the same time I also noticed that all of the warning indicator sounds were also not working (set belt, door open with key in, low tire pressure, ect) none of the warning sounds are now working. It seems that the left front speaker is used for the transmitting of the warning sounds thus there is no sound from the left speaker. None the less I feel that with the warning sounds not working this is a safety issue. Everytime I start my car the svc light stays on all the time , my tires are always wobbly while slowing down and driving. Same as I have heard from others. Got in a hit and run if I have side air bags they didnt geploy

Good afternoon, I have a few concerns about my vehicle and have contacted chevrolet and the attorney general but they have now directed my questions/concerns to you. My vehicle is now on its sixth recall. Every time I have to bring my car in for work, I have to take time off of work and the car dealerships im required to bring my car into do not have loaner vehicles. However, my primary concern is this is my only vehicle and I am a single mom. These recalls are disconcerting and within the letters have openly stated that these defects, flaws or problems have caused deaths. My son is my everything and it is my job to protect him. When I contacted the company to ask how many recalls does it take to make a vehicle ineffective in regards to, do they stand behind their products? I was then directed to you. The individual I spoke to said they do not work in lemon laws but what about safety laws? What about standing behind their product? What about protecting those individuals that have bought their products and have now had multiple recalls that have the ability to make the vehicle inoperable and potentially life threatening. If I had the funds I would buy a different vehicle. I bought this vehicle because I thought it was safe and good on gas mileage. I do not have any extra funds to buy another vehicle. My concern is for the safety of my son and myself and I am appalled that a company does not seem to stand behind its product after this many recalls. Please help,

My boyfriend and I were on our way home from chicago (on I-80/90) when we hit a bit of lake effect snow and ice. The snow caused our car to lose traction which in turn caused us to hit a guard rail head on while going roughly 50-55 MPH. Our airbags did not go off even though we hit the guard rail head on. We ended up being perpendicular in the right hand lane and was hit by a semi truck on the passenger side door. Again, our air bags did not go off which would make for a total of 4 airbags that were affected. I was unaware of affected air bags - I only knew about my ignition switch which was fixed months prior to the accident. Unacceptable.

I was driving on march 10th 2015 and the message service air bags came on so I called the chevy customer care number and they told me they were concerned for my and my family safety and agreed to pay for the first hour of diagnostic they contacted the dealer smith chevy in lowell indiana so I took it to dealer smith chevy in lowell indiana and the put it on the machine for diagnostic which chevy paid for smith chevy told me it was a reset like a check engine light and it reset it self and if I had any problems to bring it back. On monday march 16th 2015 while I was driving to work the service air bag message came on again and also the light came on also now at this point the message and the light came on. I read the owners manual for my chevy cobalt and the warning states 'if the airbag readiness light stays on after the vehicle is started or come on while driving it means the airbag system might not be working properly. The airbag in the vehicle might not inflate in a crash or they could even inflate without a crash. To help avoid injury, have the vehicle serviced right away". So I call chevy customer care again and they gave me a case number#71-1451260282 I spoke with mark number 1‑866‑790‑5700 ext 41569 he told me to take it in to the dealer and have it checked. I ask mark if they would be able to help me pay for this but he said it depends on what it is and stated that the car was not under warranty because of the amount of years and mileage. I feel that a recall should be issued because this may have happen to other people and just have not been reported because people do not know how to report these things . .
