I was in a very serious car accident where my cavalier flipped end over end and rolled numerous times. At no time did my air bags deploy. The car was deemed a complete loss. The accident was deemed an act of nature/god. No at fault.
2001 Chevrolet Cavalier airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 21 of 21, newest first, as owners wrote them.
At 35,500 miles front steering started making a popping noise while turning corners. A few days later, the ABS light came on and would not reset. Car was taken to dealership where the ABS master computer was replaced. And steering was lubed. At 37,000 miles popping came back, dealership said that since it was no longer under warranty, they were not responsible for it. Also, at 45,000 miles the brakes were shaking, after investigation, mechanic stated that rotors were warped and needed to be replaced. I have had this car for 18 months and am looking at having to replace the rack and pinion system and I only have 55,000 miles on the car now. Then today, my airbag warning light has begun to stay on. Am going to have to go, once again, to the dealership for fear that airbags won't inflate in collision.
Consumer purchased a vehicle that didn't have an air bag. *dt
Vehicle did not pass inspection because vehicle does not have air bags. The vehicle was involved in an accident and the air bags deployed. The consumer purchased the vehicle as is.
Consumer states while sitting, a car hit him from behind at high speed into another car and air bag did not deploy.
While driving at 45 MPH, consumer ran off the road to avoid hitting another vehicle, and ran head-on into an enbankment. Upon impact, air bags failed to deploy. Contacted dealer. *ak
Air bags failed to work when involved in a crash resulting in car hitting bank and turning upside down. My dad was the owner of this car but I feel a replacement car with working airbags will keep this from going into litigation.
At 55 MPH consumer applied brake, vehicle vibrated and consumer lost control without warning. Vehicle spun around, hit a guardrail head on, then skidded 35 yards down a embankment. Passenger suffered back injuries. Vehicle was totalled however the air bags did not deploy, the ABS did not work and the vehicle did not stop until it hit the guardrail and skid 35 yards down the guardrail, the turn sugnal failed due to a blown fuse. *jb
