Cobalt Fatal Crash Lawsuits and Cobalt Crash Death Lawsuits: Faulty Ingition Switches Have Caused Several Fatal Accidents By Cobalt Fatal Crash Lawyer and Cobalt Crash Death Lawyer Jason S. Coomer
Faulty ignition switches in Chevrolet Cobalts have resulted in a massive vehicle recall that includes over 1.6 million vehicles. The faulty ignition switches in Cobalts and Saturn Ions have caused the vehicles' engines to shut off while the vehicle was in motion resulting in the loss of power-assisted steering and power brakes as well as causing the air bags not to inflate in a crash. These malfunctions in heavy traffic or on high speed highways could often result in a fatal accident. Further, as Cobalts and Saturn Ions were marketed to younger drivers, this loss of power-assisted steering and power brakes often caused younger drivers to panic and be overwhelmed by the extra effort needed to control the vehicle resulting in serious injury and fatal accidents.
As such, all fatal accidents involving Cobalts and Saturn Ions should be investigated or re-investigated to determine if the faulty ignition switches were the cause or a cause of the fatal accident.
