What owners say
2009 saturn aura was hit both in the front and rear and it was a very severe accident; the vehicle was a total loss. No air bags deployed, causing the two passengers to be more injured than they would have been (if at all) had they gone off. The driver had a concussion and the passenger was severely bruised and broke both hands.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 saturn aura. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 65 MPH on ice, the vehicle slid and crashed into a median, spun across three lanes, and crashed into a hill. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was not filed. The contact sustained unknown injuries that did not require medical attention. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and was informed that the frontal impact was not the initial impact; therefore, the air bags would not have deployed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
I was driving on the pennsylvania turnpike and a newer toyota tundra made unsafe lane change and at high speeds came into my lane and made impact and pushed me into cement barrier. The truck then spun counter clockwise and collided with the front of my car. I suffered small neck fractures and severe spinal issues. The airbags never deployed and the doctor stated the front airbag not deploying created issue with the severity of spine injury. Product liability of the saturn airbags needs to be addressed by gm.
