I HAD AN AUTO ACCIDENT ON FEBRUARY 7, 2021. I LOST CONTROL ON AN ICY HIGHWAY AND FLIPPED MY CAR IN A DITCH FACING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I HIT THE DRIVER'S SIDE IN THE DITCH HARD ENOUGH IT BOUNCED BACK ON ALL FOUR TIRES. MY JAW HIT THE STEERING WHEEL, MY LEFT SHOULDER WENT THROUGH THE DRIVERS WINDOW AND OF COURSE I NOW HAVE ONGOING BACK ISSUES AT THIS TIME. MY CONCERN IS THE AIRBAG NEVER DEPLOYED. I FIND THIS CONCERNING AS THE IMPACT WAS GREAT AND I HOT THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MY FACE.

MY HUSBAND WAS INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT ON 9-29-2015. WHAT HAPPENED WAS MY HUSBAND WAS STOPPED ON THE INTERSTATE AND A TRUCK SLAMMED INTO MY HUSBAND. HE SAID HIS CAR TURNED OFF AS SOON AS THE FIRST IMPACT, AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WAS A SECOND IMPACT FROM THE SAME TRUCK, WHICH WAS ON MY HUSBANDS PASSENGER SIDE. THE CAR IS COMPLETELY TOTALED. MY HUSBAND WAS LUCKY TO WALK AWAY FROM THIS ACCIDENT. THE HHR WAS RECALLED FOR THE IGNITION SWITCH LAST YEAR AND WE HAD THE NEW PART INSTALLED 2/2015 WHEN THE DEALERSHIP RECEIVED THE PARTS. WE HAVE TWO ISSUES ELECTRICAL, WHY DID HIS CAR TURN OFF WHEN IT WAS HIT FROM THE REAR? DID THE IMPACT KNOCK THE IGNITION SWITCH OUT OF PLACE? ALSO WHY DIDN'T THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY? NOW I KNOW IF THE CAR IS OFF THE AIRBAGS ARE OFF BUT WHY DID THE CAR GO FROM ON TO COMPLETELY OFF UNLESS IT WAS A FAULTY NEW PART THAT WE RECEIVED IN OUR CAR.

THE FRONT DOOR HANDLE BROKE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR IN 2013 WE HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ABOUT THIS, SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT BEING ABLE TO GET OUT OF YOUR CAR IF SOMETHING DANGEROUS WAS TO HAPPEN. AT THAT TIME THE DEALERSHIP TOLD MY HUSBAND I THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. THEN AGAIN IN 2014 THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAD BROKEN ALSO. SO NOW I HAVE TWO BROKEN DOORS ON MY CAR THAT YOU CAN ONLY GET OUT OF, IF SOMEONE LETS ME OUT OF THE CAR OR I ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. IF I WERE TO GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WERE I WAS UNABLE TO ROLL MY WINDOW DOWN AND DID NOT HAVE SOMEONE RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT (SAY CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE) THEN THIS COULD LEAD TO MAJOR PROBLEMS IF NOT DEATH. ALSO WHEN MY HUSBAND HAD AN ACCIDENT NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. AND BACKSEAT PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT WOULD NOT RELEASE AND WE HAD TO CUT MY GRANDDAUGHTER OUT OF SEATBELT. SO NOW I AM DRIVING A CAR THAT AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN, BACK SEATBELT HAD TO BE CUT AND MY FRONT TWO DOORS YOU CANNOT GET OUT OF IF UNABLE TO ROLL WINDOW DOWN. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES. WE HAD AROUND 98,000. MILES WHEN ISSUES STARTED WITH THE DOORS. WHICH I BELIEVE THE MILES SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH A SAFETY ISSUE.
