What owners wrote
I was t-boned by another vehicle on the passenger side of my car and the airbag deployed on the passengers side door and hit my daughter in the face. The airbag had fibers and such on it that was imbedded in my daughters eye. She had to have surgery to get it out.
My wife, driving down a city street in our 2010 chevrolet malibu, had to swerve to her right to avoid a truck that was coming around a curve in her lane, and in the process of avoiding the oncoming vehicle , scrapped the curb with her right front tire. Upon checking the right front tire, the chrome on the plastic hub had peeled back and had sharp edges. Upon further examination it appears that the chrome from the hubcap, had cut the sidewall of tire so that I could see the cord.
