Hello. My 2010 chevy cobalt has been plagued with service air bag issues for a long time. My concern the ignition switch is only a smoke screen compared to the air bag system. People need to know when the service air bag light is on, the air bags system will not deploy when needed. I have had it serviced a couple times and invested over $700.00 to have it fixed and it is still broken. I was told they know about a faulty design with the main com wire that goes under the carpet and passenger seat to the air bag control box to break thus rendering the system fault. They replaced several parts in my steering wheel and it worked for a little while but came back. Now my cruise control is also broken along with the faulty air bag system.

Vehicle became hard to steer and lost power and the brakes would not work. Nothing on the car would work and finally I was unable to fight the wheel anymore and the car flipped. None of the airbags deployed. I think than an investigation for the newer models of the cobalt be done as well. From the description that was given for the suit that is now ongoing with the gm ignition problem, my car did the exact same thing. We could have been killed in this accident,. I have photos of the vehicle. It was horrible.
Liquid was coming out of the air bag cap and now the air bag alarm is constantly going off.
