AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FOR THE PAST THREE DAYS DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK MY CHEVY COBALT HAS BEEN PUTTING ME IN DANGER. WHEN I START TO BREAK, SOMETIMES THE SYMBOL WITH A LOCK AND KEY, AND AIR BAG LIGHTS WILL TURN ON AND THE CAR STEERING WHEEL WOULD LOCK AND THE BRAKES WOULD COME UP RESULTING IN THE CAR BEING TURNED OFF WHILE I AM ON DRIVE. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I CANNOT TURN THE WHEEL AND THE BRAKE IS ALSO LOCKED. I GET OUT OF MY CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC TO PUSH IT BY MYSELF THEN JUMP IN IT AND TRY TO START IT. THIS METHOD WORKS SOMETIMES BUT IS DANGEROUS TO NOT ONLY MYSELF BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY OTHERS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS THE MAIN CAUSE FOR THIS ISSUE HOWEVER I DID SOME RESEARCH AND DID NOT SEE ANY RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. I NEED HELP FINGERING IT OUT BEFORE I HURT MYSELF OR OTHERS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD DRIVING UNABLE TO STEER OR BREAK

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS CAR HAS A RECALL ALREADY IN REGARDS TO FUEL LEAKAGE BUT ONLY FOR VEHICLES IN CERTAIN STATES. MY CAR LEAKS FUEL AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HAD TO CORRECT AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL, AS WITHIN THE PAST TWO YEARS I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL LINE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE FOR ALL COBALTS AS I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AS THOSE IN ARC, AZ, ETC. I HAVE LIVED AND HAD MY VEHICLE REGISTERED IN TX AS WELL. THIS ISSUE MAKES IT WHERE THE CAR LEAKS GAS ONTO THE PAVEMENT WHEN STATIONARY OR COME TO A STOP. THE CAR RUNS HARD DUE TO LEAKING FUEL AND AFRAID IT WILL RUN OUT OF GAS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY CAR SMELLS LIKE GAS INSIDE AND OUT. CHEVY DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT IT IS FUEL LINE LEAKAGE WHICH HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY FOR THIS MODEL. BUT FOR SOME REASON, MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL WHICH WAS DONE IN 2012. FUEL LINE LEAK DID NOT HAPPEN IN MY CAR UNTIL NOW. IT IS LIKE DRIVING AROUND IN A FUEL BOMB WITH MY LITTLE KIDS. IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE TO PAY OUT OF MY POCKET ($1100) FOR A CAR THAT IS NOT WORTH MUCH.

ENGINE, STEERING
'TAKATA RECALL' MY MOTHER'S COBALT HAS STALLED ON HER MANY TIMES AT STOPLIGHTS AND ALMOST CAUSED ACCIDENTS BECAUSE WHEN THE CAR MAKES A STOP AT A STOPLIGHT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND POWER STEERING AND EVERYTHING GOES OUT AND THE KEY WON'T TURN. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CAR TO DRIVE IN PLEASE PUT A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE, SHE IS AN OLDER WOMAN AND IT ISN'T SAFE FOR ANYONE TO DRIVE AT THIS POINT. ONE OF THE ALMOST ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET AND SHE ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED SINCE SHE COULDN'T MOVE IN TIME AND THE CAR GOES OUT AT ANY MOMENT IT WANTS TO.
