2004 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx Air bags Problems

“My car was in a rollover accident where it left the road and flipped twice landing on it's side against some trees and the air bags did not deploy. Not the ones in the front nor the side air bags. The insurance co. Said the car is totaled. Luckily my children weren't in the car at the time but if they had been would they be here today without the safety feature of airbags?”

“While traveling in a school zone going approximately 25 miles per hour, I was in an accident involving a school bus. I could not stop, or steer the car to avoid a collision with the rear of the bus. My car went under the rear of the bus, where it was crushed in the front end. The car seemed to just shut down, had no power steering and braking control. The air bags never deployed., even though they should have with the type of impact that the car received. We would like to make this complaint, on behalf of ourselves and any other motorist that might have had similar circumstances. Thank you.”

“While driving on an icy roadway on a downhill left cruve I felt the steering unexpectedly stiffen up as if the car had stalled. By the time I applied enough pressure to compensate the car started to veer to the left, and would not recover. It crashed and rolled over. Also, the air bags did not deploy until we were hanging upside down, even though the car hit hard in the front. Also only the two front air bags deployed not the side or curtain bags. The car was a total loss.”

“I was driving on 91s in hartford ct. I had just gotten on the highway and moved into the second lane. It was raining and I hydroplaned. I went into a 360 and at the 180 point I hit the cement divider head on. I continued in the 360 and as I came about again I hit the metal guardrail, again, head on and went into another 360. There was no airbag deployment at all and my seatbelt didn't lock up which caused my face and upper torso to hit the steering wheel. I lost teeth and was injured on my upper torso and neck. I called chevy and was told to take pics of car and send them . …”
