| I was involved in a car accident on 7/5/05. i attempted to brake in order to avoid hitting a car. i slammed on the brakes but my car just kept going and going. it must have continued for about 50 feet. i feel if my brakes would have worked i wouldn't have hit the car. it's like my brakes only partly worked. i just bought the car 3 months ago and was not aware of the recall on the brake system. i will look into that. another thing, i was told that since no one was in the passenger seat, the air bag should not have deployed. the passenger airbag engaged and broke my windshield. | |||

| My brother was involved in a very serious car accident with my car in which he hit one side of the wall and then bounced off and hit another side of the wall all with the airbags not deploying. the car damage makes the car appear as if there was no airbag in the car because the whole front dash was moved and on the passenger side there is a dent in the dash, appearing like there was no airbag in the car. i have been in contact with gm regarding the issue however they have not been helpful and will not provide me adequate information. *tr | |||

| My accident happened on a sunny dry day. i was driving home from work doing about 45 mph when the vehicle in front of me had hit a car that was stopped for the light. i was the fourth car back and had heard the crash. i slammed on the brakes and they grabbed and then proceeded to just continue to go and basically my car hit the back of a truck causing about $10,000 in damage and sending me to the hospital. i had enough room behind that vehicle to stop. it was like the pedal just went to the floor and i had no brakes. i am also concerned because the air bag also did not deploy. gm told me that it's because the bumpers did not meet with each other. more lies if you ask me. i think they need to have these vehicles checked before someone really get hurt bad. this has cost me much grief, loss of work and out of pocket money.*ak | |||
