While pulling into a parking space in our 2013 chevy malibu with my foot on the brake, when about 1/2 way into the space I experienced an unintended acceleration by the vehicle. This caused me to crash into a bollard in front of the convenience store causing severe damage to the front end of the car. The air bags did not deploy, causing me to hit my head on the steering wheel. *dt add cpsc

I was turning from a private drive and collided with another vehicle. I was in a 2013 chevrolet malibu ls travelling at approximately 15mph, the other driver in a 2010 honda accord travelling at approximately 45-55mph. The collision was between my front left and his front right, no passengers. No air bags deployed from either vehicle, and as mine did not deploy, I received a concussion when the back of my head broke the driver's side window. I don't know if this is part of takata, as I cannot find the manufacturer of my car's airbags. Chevrolet provided no information as to the manufacturer or why at least the curtain airbag would not have deployed to prevent concussion.

Waiting at a corner for a clear spot to cross five lane road. Was watching a truck with a snow plow wanting to turn onto same road that I needed to cross. Looked both ways and then back at the truck. The truck did not move so I proceeded and I only made it just beyond the turn lane and got hit by another car. I tried as fast as I could to stay in the turn lane but still got hit. Other driver did not try to avoid us. We were hit hard in the right front of our car. The speed limit on the road I wanted to cross is 55 MPH so we were hit pretty hard. Now this is where we get mad. Our airbags did not deploy. My wife and I were shaken very bad. We each have a doctors appointments as we are very sore and stiff.
