Aveo 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 18 miles
While at work at larson automotive, as a sales manager, in baraboo Wisconsin I went to move a 2008 Chevy Aveo. This vehicle was brand new. I started the car and shifted from reverse to first gear (manual transmission) and the side air bag exploded. I did not purchase vehicle. The result of the noise caused a significant loss of hearing in my right ear, my right side of my face went num and tingling. As of today my hearing is still not fully functional. I am scheduled for a recheck next Monday on November 26, 2007.
