What owners wrote
Someone ran a red light and creamed into us at about 50-55 MPH. The impact area was the passenger wheel well area and the impact was so violent that it smashed everything over and including the starter... Our air bags did not deploy and I always wondered if it was because the crash smashed the starter and had something to do with the GM recalls now. Both my son and I have never been the same after that crash and neither of us can even sleep in a bed from neck and back pain...
