What owners wrote
Involved in an accident where I collided with another car. The front end of my car was completed damaged to the point where the car was totaled. The problem with this accident was the air bags did not go off causing injury to myself and my wife. I estimate the speed at collision to be around 30MPH. I was traveling west bound at about 630pm in the evening, on a four lane city road with a center turn lane. I was in my lane and failed to stop before hitting the car in front of me.
Let me take 5 minutes of your time to tell you a story that might be also experienced by other equinox drivers. About 18 months ago, every time I would get into my wife's equinox, which is under my name, I would start a fight with her, because the car would smell humid and will prompt asthma attacks. Especially when she would pick me up from the airport, the car would smell like an old wet-rug.
