During recent laboratory testing of 2003-2007 Chevy Cobalts, we observed a unique combination of circumstances that caused us to question whether the ignition would improperly turn off during an accident.

We feel that the best and safest thing to do is to immediately disable the ignition-off feature to resolve the issue and remove any safety concerns. While we fix 2003-2007 Cobalt, please, under any circumstances, do not turn off the ignition of your car. We suggest calculating the amount of gas needed for a particular trip and adding only that gas to the fuel tank. At the completion of your trip, allow your car to automatically turn itself off when the fuel is exhausted.
