In 2011 my husband was involved in an accident where a person turned in front of him as he was driving about 35 MPH (according to the police report). His airbag did not deploy as it should have, and since that time he has suffered serious back problems. I wrote to chevy customer relations at the time, and was never given a satisfactory answer.
