Consumer Description

NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED IN A MODERATE TO SEVERE ACCIDENT WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DECLARED TOTALED. FOUR PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. THREE OF THE FOUR WERE MODERATELY INJURED. WE WERE ALL WEARING OUR SEATBELTS. THANK GOD. THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WAS TOTALLY SHATTERED AS WELL A THE RIGHT PASSENGER WINDOW. THE FRONT HOOD WAS SEVERELY BUCKLED THE ENGINE WAS COMING THROUGH THE DASHBOARD. THE WHOLE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS CRUSHED IN. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY OWNED THREE OTHER CHEVEROLETS. I WOULD LIKE ANSWERS ON WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WE ARE CURRENTLY HAVING TO LOOK FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE SINCE OURS WAS DECLARED TOTALED. WE ARE VERY HESITANT TO GO BACK WITH CHEVROLET. *LA
