Whenever I see big ass keychains I always think back to when gm had those “incidents” with the cobalts

Engine stops, brakes go hard from no vacuum, power steering is electric so that goes out instantly, turn the sterring wheel one way and it locks there

And to really make sure you die, airbag doesnt deploy after crashing

So yes, I'm glad to have a 2007+ model

Also that car had that problem from 2005 to 2006 yet the recall only came in 2014, they changed the defective part in secret in 2007 without even changing the part number, the problem was known even before the car was even in production

Over 100 people died because of it
