problem #1

Jan 152007

Cobalt 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 23,000 miles
- while driving on a rainy day on a main road, the contact lost control of a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt at a speed of 40 mph, causing the vehicle to crash into a hillside that had a big rock sticking out. The entire front of the vehicle sustained damage, the radiator, transmission and engine were crushed. The contact stated that the frontal air bags never deployed. Prior to the incident there was no warning that the air bags weren't working. The consumer hit a ditch before hitting the hillside. The seat belt didn't restrain the consumer. Updated 02/27/07.
