Chevrolet Cobalt Recalled
The Daily Auto Insider
Thursday, January 25, 2007
January 2007
General Motors said it was recalling nearly 100,000 Chevrolet Cobalt sedans to upgrade head-impact protection.
GM said the recall affects 98,707 vehicles from the 2005-2006 model years that are not equipped with optional roof-mounted side impact air bags. The potential problem was discovered during compliance testing.
There have been no injuries related to the recall. GM spokesman Alan Adler said the head-impact protection would only be a problem for unbelted vehicle occupants; belted occupants would not be affected, he said.
Dealers will install energy-absorbing plastic to the area, the company said. Owners can contact Chevrolet at (800) 630-2438

Who cares if the front ends aren't good enough in a crash....these people were STUPID enough to buy a Cobalt (Chevy) in the first place. Maybe a few more accidents and there would be less dumb people one the road...but with that said let hope we aren't the smart people that are involved in their crashes....GOD I HATE GM PRODUCTS!!!!!!!
