What owners wrote
I was involved in a violent, jarring collision on june 26, 2014 with an SUV in las vegas, nv. I was rear-ended by a toyota rav 4. I sustained significant injuries, & my car suffered substantial damage, which resulted in my vehicle being deemed a total loss. The engine automatically shut off & the vehicle airbags did not deploy because the ignition switch moved out of the run position, turning off the engine. The GM provided remedy was not made available until september 2014.
I began making a left turn, when the vehicle lost control. The acceleration picked up and I lost control of the ability to steer. The brake would not press down and the vehicle picked up speed faster before hitting a tree.
