My wife and daughter hit a deer going about 60 mph. The deer hit the front drivers side from the grill to the corner. After the impact the airbags did not deploy. The damage could be a total loss just waiting on the insurance adjuster.
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Sonic. While driving at approximately 60 mph, the contact's vehicle crashed into a deer. The air bags failed to deploy. The contact sustained a head injury that did not require medical attention. The vehicle sustained extensive front end damage. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 2,000.
My husband and I were traveling straight in a 2015 Chevrolet Sonic lt at approximately 35-40 mph when the driver of a 2002 Toyota corolla made a left hand turn causing a collision. Simply put we T boned the other vehicle. 2015 Chevy Sonics are equipped with weight sensing restraint systems. I was the passenger and weigh approximately 142 lbs. Both driver front air bags deployed, knee and steering wheel. The passenger front air bags did not deployed. Almost all of the damage was to the front end passenger side. Total mileage at time of collision was 3,191. So far insurance has estimated repair costs to be $8,863.10, note this is before tare down. Final cost will rise considering they failed to include front bumper and radiator. I have been advised that we are looking at a possible total loss. I have contacted GM concerning the air bag failure, and the report has been passed along to now the third person. The report was "escalated to central claims" on 4/2/2015, I was told then that I would receive a call within 24-48 hours, it is now 4/7/215. I did not receive a call, called GM yesterday and was given contact information of the 3rd assigned person, sent an email asking for a return call, no response received. It has now been 24 hours since email. Please be careful when allowing adolescents/children to ride in front passenger seat.
