The vehicle was moving at a highway speed of approximately 65 MPH, when it got into a collision with another vehicle. The other vehicle made an abrupt stop on the highway in front of the 2004 chevrolet aveo, which caused the aveo to hit the back of the suddenly stopped vehicle. Upon impact, the airbag did not deploy, which from my understanding should happen when traveling at that speed. In fact it especially should have deployed, due to the fact that the impact damaged the front of the vehicle. My concern is that I have bought two other vehicles from the same manufacturer since my purchase of this vehicle. I want to make sure that my family is safe when riding in these vehicles.

I was in a semi v car accident wednesday november 19th, on a 4 lane major highway (I-294). I was driving a 2004 chevy aveo. I was cut off by the semi and my car was hit, spun out of control through 3 lanes of traffic and hit the center median of the highway. The car is totaled. The entire engine block was smashedinward. My airbag didn't deploy. I'm angry. This car has had nothing but defect after defect, but I paid for a safety feature that was faulty. I walked away from this accident, by the grace of god, and now am suffering horrific pain that is directly influenced by my airbag not deploying. I have no recourse to take against chevy. I want documentation of this major failure. I'm lucky I didn't die. The semi was ticketed in the accident.

While stopped at red light, our 2004 chevy aveo was struck from behind by a vehicle traveling about 25-45 MPH, which propelled the aveo into the car in front of it. During the crash, the driver's seat moved backward into about a 45 degree angle and locked in that position and providing my daughter no protection against whiplash. She received injuries to her neck and abdomen, which would have been much worse if she had not been holding on tightly to the steering wheel.
