What owners say
My wife hit a old style van that had stopped for a dog crossing a the road. The whole front end had to be replaced. Hood, grill, lights, both fender had to be repaired, also the steal tube under the radiator frame had to be cut out and replaced. On 11/5/2010 I hit a deer going 30 MPH, again front end damage. Both times the air bags didn't deploy, and on star didn't respond. I asked two different chevrolet dealers if the air bag sensor could be tested, answer was no.

I was turning through a left bend on a residential road at approximately 45 MPH. Posted speed 40 MPH, when the rear axle split at the drivers side hub. This caused me to spin around and crash between a power pole and a tree. My air bags never deployed even with frontal impact and both side door impacted. We walked away with minor whiplash and a few bumps here and there, but the van was totaled with less than 31,000 miles on it and it was well maintained.
