Direct impact with 1200 pound cow while driving on a state highway, the airbag did not deploy. Entire car engulfed in flames as the engine immediately started fire. Totalled. Why didn't the airbag deploy? Serious injury. Serious safety issue. I have purchased 2 cruze's because of the safety features. This is so not safe and so unacceptable

In sept of 2013 after just a few months of owning the car I was rear-ended at a speed of 25-30 MPH. The airbag didn't deploy and my head bounced from the steering wheel to the headrest where I suffered a severe concussion leaving me out of work for a month. Also my radio console lights flash on at random times, I experience the turbo lag crap the dealership gives as and excuse (especially after telling me during a service test drive that my car didn't have a turbo!) and after owning it for 1 month a part of the engine fan sheered off and destroyed my A/C unit leaving me with a $2500 bill to redo that. I can't wait for my settlement from the accident to get the hell out of this car. This is my first and last chevy ever!

I was involved in a front end (mostly drivers side of car) collision where a person ran a red light. Both of our vehicles where going between 40 to 50 MPH. On impact of my car no airbags deployed. My head hit the steering wheel and side window. After having it towed to the dealership where I bought it for repairs I mentioned this to the mechanics. I was told that the car had to be hit in certain spots before the airbags deploy! Seriously? I do not feel safe in this car knowing that if I am involved in a serious accident the airbags may not be there to save my life! And to think that is one reason why I purchased the car was the fact it had high safety standards! Absurd.

I have called gm and the will investigate but act as if its no big deal...it is a big deal.
