What owners wrote
The vehicle was involved in a front impact accident at 25 MPH. The driver's seat belt did not hold the driver and the air bags did not deploy upon impact. Manufacturer will be contacted by consumer.
On 10/07 I was involved in a head on collision while operating a 2000 olds alero which I purchased new. The air bags never deployed. The vehicle is a total loss and everyone that saw the car agrees the air bags should have deployed. Do you know of any other problems and where I might turn for answers and what recourse I may have.
