| Electronic devices engaging passenger airbag and seatbelt notification. when i put an ac adaptor (lightweight), or most electronic devices, sometimes even just my ipod, on my passenger seat it thinks a person is sitting there. if i were to crash this would be a big problem airbags are expensive, plus the car is always beeping at me. i went to the dealership while my car was under warranty and they said, well you just cannot put it there. there is nothing we can for you, i evven asked if they could at least put a center console in. (answer: no) i am reporting this as property damage because they won't fix my car which is obviously not functioning correctly, then let me drive off with an unsafe car. so be careful with putting your electronics on your passenger seat it could mean totaling your car, airbags are expensive. also my cobalt does not have a center console so there is no where else to put my electronics, which to me seems like a bought a damaged vehicle. i cannot use the functions it is supposed to have, like the aux input, because i have nowhere to put the mp3 player without activating the passenger seat alarm/airbag. be careful and help me complain. this is very shady, also right after i got my car they (the chevy dealership) acknwoledged my cobalt was part of the affected unintended acceleration cars, now there is nothing about it anywhere. they said they would call me when they had a fix for it, and yet i was never contacted and i just got contacted about my power steering recall with no mention of the other problem they had previously acknowledged, affected my car. i don't think there is coincidence recalls are contrrolled by the same people that control gm, the government. it took gm 5 years to start fixing this power steering problem, think twice before buying general motors, you are really buying government motors, and your protected by their wonderful recall coverup program. | |||

| 2010 chevrolet cobalt. consumer writes in regards to recommending a recall concerning seat belt stops *tgw the consumer stated the seat belt stops failed twice. when they broke, the seat buckle dropped on the strap below the seat between the rocker panel, which made it nearly impossible to retrieve the buckle. the consumer stated the part was an inexpensive two-part button that went through the strap which stopped the bucket from sliding down on the belt. the dealer replaced the driver's seat belt stop. *jb | |||
