What owners wrote
A lady ran a red light and t-boned my chevy malibu on the drivers side as I was proceeding through the intersection. Airbags did not deploy. My head slammed in to the drivers side window. Drivers side door was smashed in. The car had to be towed because it couldn't be driven. I have a concussion that's lasted for 2 weeks and body pain from the accident. Shouldn't the airbags have deployed?
Just like every other complaint for this model year - abs/brake sils come on w/routine driving @40 MPH off highway and then service warnings about stabilitrak and brake systemscome on; this happened in february where the dealership claimed it was a cracked wheel hub (owned less than 1 year and not covered) and said it needed replacing. Replaced at ~$600.
