Consumer Description

MY COBALT, WHICH IS NOW TOTALED, WAS IN A HIGHWAY ACCIDENT AND THE CAR MALFUNCTIONED. THE FRONT END OF THE CAR COLLIDED INTO THE REAR END OF PICKUP TRUCK AND THEN WENT OUT OF CONTROL AND THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR SMASHED INTO THE CONCRETE GUARDRAIL. AT SOME POINT DURING THE CRASH, THE CAR SHUT OFF AND THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. WHEN THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED, MY FIANC WAS UNABLE TO TURN IT BACK ON AND HAD TO PUSH IT OFF THE BUSY HIGHWAY BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE HIT THE CAR. *TR
