Airbags did not deploy in a crash by model year
What owners say
My daughter was driving through the target parking lot in humble texas when side airbags deployed without an apparent reason. In previous minor accidents no airbags deployed. Car now has issues with damaged headliner and other expensive parts without a collision therefore I appear to be out the most to repair and to be frank and relatively certain tat vehicle may be worthless due to the deployment of the safety gear.
Was driving to work and we had a lite snow the night before. I hit a slick spot on highway and lost control of the car and hit a telephone poll. The car is now totaled, the front end was completely torn off, drivers seat broke, windshield shattered and was partially on the dash. The airbag did not deploy. This resulted in a head concussion, torn right shoulder and badly bruised knees along with minor cuts to hands and face. The man who towed it away also wondered about this. I'm wondering if there was a recall that I haven't been able to find on my 2005 saturn vue?
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 saturn vue. The contact was driving 45 MPH when he crashed into another vehicle that abruptly stopped. The air bags did not deploy and the seat belt did not retract. The contact was injured and transported to the hospital. A police report was filed of the incident. The vehicle was destroyed. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure and the current mileage was 116,000.
As entering the intersection of hwy 173 and bi pass 534. Other vehicle turned left in front of me. I had the green light. My daughter was driving my 2005 saturn vue. We were going between 40 and 50 miles per hour in a 55 MPH zone. The front center to the left front corner collided with the other vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. The insurance company said sometimes they just don't. At the seen of the accident the emt told me I should get out of the car if I was able to. Because the air bags might still deploy, as they have been known to do so before. The insurance company refuses to pay for new air bags. Stating that there is no danger of them unexpectedly deploying. My complaint is that the air bags did not deploy and they might unexpectedly.
Dt*: the contact stated while traveling 40 MPH with prior braking, the vehicle hit another head on. The entire front end was damaged and the airbags did not deploy. A police report was taken at the scene. The vehicle was towed to an auto body shop. The manufacturer sent a representative to inspect the vehicle and it was inconclusive on whether or not the airbags should have deployed.
Driving northbound on highway 116. Vehicle in front of me started to slow down and slightly pulled off to the right of the highway. At the time before the car in front of me started to slow down I had the cruise control set at 70 MPH when the car in front of me started to slow down. I slowed down to about 60-65 MPH and pulled off the road slightly. There was a semi truck traveling south bound on the highway I thought either there was something in the road ahead of the car in front of me or the truck was in our lane. The roads were dry and the sun was coming up. As I began to come back on the road my right front tire was feeling wobbly and I either hit the curb on the bridge or a piece of metal causing me to lose control of the vehicle. I ran head on to the southbound side of the bridge then started spinning and hitting the bridge several times. I finally ended up back on the northbound side of the bridge about 3/4 of the way down the bridge. With my front end hitting that side of the bridge. What concerns me is that my air bags never deployed in the vehicle and I sustained neck, shoulder and right knee injuries. At this time the vehicle is at a local body shop with the insurance, and company that makes the vehicle investigates the damage. I have filed a complaint with saturn letting them know that I believe that this is a product defect.
