A lady ran a red light and t-boned my chevy malibu on the drivers side as I was proceeding through the intersection. Airbags did not deploy. My head slammed in to the drivers side window. Drivers side door was smashed in. The car had to be towed because it couldn't be driven. I have a concussion that's lasted for 2 weeks and body pain from the accident. Shouldn't the airbags have deployed?

Driving 12/18 beltline east bound. Between south town exit and monona drive exit. Debis in road hit by truck lic#dg93483 that came up and hit the right front end passanger side of vechile. Cracked headline and front bumper dented as well as paint all scratched! Called non emergency poile and they told me to fill out this form to report.
The trunk of my malibu opens by itself. This has happened twice now, the first time I thought that maybe I or my children accidentally pushed the trunk release button on the remote key. But the second time this happened this could not be the case. I saw on forums that this issue is happening to others as well.
Two times impacted by behind when stopped due to traffic, follower card did not noticed in time due to stop light not lit. Same scenario in both cases. Need advise on gm recalls for medical expenses coverage.

It has many issues such as the body doesn't line up, the electronics are bad and the care has shut down going down the freeway twice, the paint is dirty and peeling, the gm rep said there was nothing they can do to fix the vehicle but they will not stand behind it and refund my money or give me another new one.
