What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
My air bags did not deploy and i feel that they should have been deployed with the impact that my vehicle took. Component - Airbags Safety - Airbags did not deploy to prevent injury Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer - Yes, Called Chevy & NHTSA on 04/16/24 Has the vehicle or component been…
The tires spun out of control while going the speed limit and wearing a seatbelt. The brakes ultimately failed. The car had no functional safety features, and I couldn't control the steering. It went airborne and rolled over. The airbags failed to deploy after hitting a tree.
The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the failure was due to a defective radio. The radio was replaced and the failure was remedied. The local dealer was not notified. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 43,000.
Almost 5 years after driving the vehicle off the lot and the warri has expired my airbag light can't be repaired by the nearby dealership for < $400. No really as of yet. While driving a month off the lot my vehicle was t-boned on the passenger side by a hit & run driver. Every since my steering wheel vibrates.
I was headed south making a left turn onto 167th off of cicero ( busy street) and an oncoming vehicle struck me on the passenger side front quarter panel, then pushing my car over the median and into another vehicle and afterwards into a curb. None of my airbags deployed after basically four impacts.
The air bags did not deploy. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The dealer was not contacted for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 27,870.
During the crash, the front end of the vehicle sustained significant damage and the driver side air bag did not deploy. However, the passenger side air bag did deploy for the occupant. The driver sustained fatal injuries. The vehicle was destroyed. A police report was taken at the scene.
"service stabilitrack" instantly came on the driver information center, and all three stability indicator lights came on. The p-zero nero tires on this car are not suitable for wet roads in the city. The ambient temperature was about 50 degrees.
