2013 Chevrolet Cruze

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, HE CRASHED INTO A STOPPED VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE REPAIRS WERE UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000.

THE DRIVER WAS TRAVELING ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY IN BALDWIN COUNTY, ALABAMA, WHEN SHE APPROACHED A RIGHT HAND CURVE (WHICH THE DRIVER WAS FULLY AWARE OF). DRIVER APPLIED BRAKES SO AS TO SLOW DOWN TO NEGOTIATE THIS CURVE, BUT WHEN THE DRIVER APPLIED THE BRAKES, THEY DID NOT RESPOND. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE APPEARED TO LOSE POWER STEERING FUNCTION. IT APPEARED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST POWER, SIMILAR IN NATURE TO THE MOST RECENT IGNITION DEFECTS ON OTHER GM VEHICLES. DUE TO LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY, THE VEHICLE WENT STRAIGHT OFF ROADWAY AND CRASHED CAUSING SIGNIFICANT PERSONAL INJURY TO THE DRIVER. FURTHER, THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. WE CONTACTED GM, AND AGREED TO ALLOW GM REPRESENTATIVES INVESTIGATE THE INCIDENT BY DOWNLOADING THE ESIS INFORMATION, WITH THE AGREEMENT THAT GM WOULD PROVIDE THE OWNER WITH THE RESULTS OF SAID INVESTIGATION IN A READILY UNDERSTANDABLE FORMAT. AFTER DOWNLOADING THE INFORMATION, GM DENIED ANY LIABILITY FOR THE INCIDENT, AND REFUSED TO PROVIDE THE OWNER WITH THE RESULTS OF ITS INVESTIGATION IN A FORMAT THAT WAS READILY UNDERSTANDABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS RECENTLY PURCHASED NEW, AND HAD NO PRIOR ISSUES. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING HOME ON A HIGHWAY AT DARK WHEN WE HIT A BLACK ANGUS BULL WHICH WAS APPROXIMATELY 1000 POUNDS. IMMEDIATELY AFTER WE HIT IT, IT ROLLED UP ONTO THE PASSENGER SIDE AND CRASHED THRU THE WINDSHIELD INJURING MYSELF (THE PASSENGER IN THE FRONT). MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AND WE ALSO HAD TWO PASSENGERS IN THE BACK OF THE CAR BUT THEY WERE NOT INJURED. I HAD MULTIPLE FACIAL INJURIES AND GLASS CHARD INJURES AND WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO A HOSPITAL WHERE I WAS INPATIENT FOR 10 DAYS, 5 OF THOSE IN INTENSIVE CARE. THE MOST SEVERE OF MY INJURIES WERE FRACTURE OF MY ORBITAL FLOOR, FRACTURE OF MY NASAL BONE, FRACTURE OF MY MALAR AND MAXILLARY BONES, OPEN WOUND TO MY LIP AND MULTIPLE BRUISES AND CUTS. ALL FOUR OF US WERE WEARING OUR SEAT BELTS AND OUT OF 10 AIRBAGS THAT THE CAR HAD, NOT ONE WENT OFF. THE FRONT END OF THE CAR WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED AND WE LOST POWER TO THE CAR AS SOON AS WE HIT THE COW (NO FLASHERS, LIGHTS, ETC) OUR CAR WAS TOTALED AND WE NOW HAVE MULTIPLE MEDICAL BILLS TO ACCOUNT FOR. OUR CONCERN WAS THAT WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND IT WAS ADVERTISED AS HAVING TEN AIRBAGS FOR SAFETY. AFTER HITTING A 1000 POUND BULL AT 60 MPH, WHY DID NOT ONE AIR BAG GO OFF? *TR

I PURCHASED A 2013 CHEVY CRUZE IN JUNE, 2013. IN NOVEMBER OF THE SAME YEAR, I STRUCK A DEER ON A RURAL STRETCH OF INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT HIGH SPEED (70MPH). AT THIS POINT THERE WERE ROUGHLY 9,000 MILES ON IT. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, BUT I WAS UNHARMED. THE IMPACT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO DO A 180 DEGREE ROLL ONTO THE SHOULDER, AT WHICH POINT I EXITED THE VEHICLE TO SEE THE AREA NEAR THE BATTERY SMOKING WITH A SMALL FLAME COMING OUT OF IT. WITHIN MINUTES, AND BEFORE EMERGENCY VEHICLES COULD ARRIVE THE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. *TR
