The vehicle was in a frontal collision, and the air bags failed to deploy.
The vehicle was involved in a frontal collision, and the air bags did not deploy, consumer was injured.
Consumer was traveling about 50mph on highway and heard a snapping noise. Front wheel broke, and vehicle rolled three times and landed on roof upside down, and airbags didn't deploy. There were no injuries.
Driver side air bag did not deploy. The car is a total loss. We would like to know if there have been other air bag failures on this type of car. Thank you.
While driving at 45 MPH the consumer ran head-on into another vehicle, causing the bumper to fall off, and the driver side or the passenger side air bags did not deploy.
The two injuries were slight, neck and back sprains. Both occupants were wearing lap and shoulder belts. I am concerned that the air bags did not deploy. The speed at impact was somewhere between 30 and 35 MPH. The accident occurred on a rainy evening, just about dusk. The other driver, coming the opposite direction had started a left turn across the other lanes when he apparently froze and stopped the car. My daughter, driving the metro, tried to stop but couldn,t because of the proximity and the slick road surface. My daughter contacted the dealer, lou grubb chevrolet, about why the air bags didn't deploy. The dealer didn't want to talk about it. The metro was totalled. The air bags should have deployed. Thank you.
