Car braked in front of me to avoid a crash; I did the same. I managed to leave enough space and I did not make contact with the car in front of me. As I was stopped behind the car in front of me, another car rear-ended me going -?? 35 mph. Consequently, my car was compressed between both cars. There was severe damage to the hood/front end of my car from the force of the car behind me pushing against the car in front of me; moderate damage to the rear. No airbags deployed. I was left with a sprained back and a concussion. I do believe I have complications with my spine and nervous system to this day because of this accident.

Front and rear passenger and driver side airbags deployed without impact while taking a right turn, traveling approximately 10-15 mph from one side street to another. The impact of the airbag caused the driver to veer to the right striking the curb. Contacted GM and their investigation determined it was not a manufacturing issue. They denied the claim and would not pay for repairs. Currently waiting to hear back from the insurance company.

I was involved in a accident where I hit a concrete wall and another vehicle. The airbags did not deploy but the car did sustain enough damage that the steering wheel and drivers side airbag should have deployed. The car did display a error code 95 for failed airbags. GM has been contacted. I sustained head injuries.

The code 95 appeared out of nowhere and will not clear. No there is no cruise control and all the buttons on the steering wheel do not work not even the light this car we bought a year ago have had multiple recalls and problems with including something major in the engine to the point it could not be driven safely.

A deer ran out in front of me on I29 - I was going about 65mph straight on the interstate and not one of my air bags worked- nothing deployed. After the accident a code 95 was displayed on the dash. I was lucky I always wear my seat-belt as I could have died.

I was driving down the street at 45 mph. It was at night. As soon as I went through the first green light, I accelerated (pushed on the gas). When I came upon the second light, I took my foot off the accelerator to brake. All of a sudden the accelerator was not working properly. It would not slow down. I tried applying the brakes, but it seemed as if the car was out of control. I could not steer right or anything. I hit to curbs and knocked down to city signs. The air bags did not deploy. The fire department along with ems got me out of the car. The car was totaled.
