I BOUGHT A CHEVROLET AVEO ONE MONTH AGO FROM A DEALER IN EGYPT, AND WHEN I WAS MAKING A TURN ON THE HIGHWAY , I USED THE BRAKES SLIGHTLY AND WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT THE CAR BEGAN MOVING ON ITS LEFT SIDE , THEN FLIPPED OVER TWO TIMES ON THE ROAD. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T OPEN, I WAS INJURED ... WHEN I WENT TO THE CERTIFIED DEALER , HE TOLD ME THAT THIS CAR DOESN'T HAVE AIRBAGS, WHILE ALL THE BROCHURES ON THE NET AND ON CHEVROLET'S SITE SAY THAT FRONTAL AIRBAGS IS A STANDARD FEATURE IN THE CAR.. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THAT DURING THE BRAKE, THE TIRES LOCKED WHICH MADE THE CAR MOVE BY ITS SIDE RATHER THAN DOING THE BRAKE, AND I WAS TOLD THAT CHEVROLET AVEO LACKS ABS SYSTEM... I WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH BECAUSE I THINK I WAS DECEIVED IN THE SAFETY OF THIS CAR.. PS. I HAVE THE PICTURES OF THE CRASH.. *JB

MY MOTHER WAS KILLED IN A 1 CAR ACCIDENT OUTSIDE TALLAHASSEE, FL ON I10 ON 8 MAY 2007. SHE WENT INTO THE MEDIAN AND HIT TREES HEAD-ON. THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MPH AND THE FHP ON THE SCENE INDICATED SHE APPLIED HER BRAKES FROM THE TIME SHE LEFT THE PAVEMENT UNTIL SHE HIT THE TREES. SHE DIED 6 DAYS LATER OF A BROKEN NECK AND MULTIPLE INTERNAL INJURIES. SHE WAS DRIVING A 6 WEEK OLD 2007 CHEV AVEO WITH FRONT AND SIDE AIR BAGS. NONE OF THESE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I TRULY BELIEVE SHE WOULD HAVE SURVIIVED THIS ACCIDENT IF THE FRONT AIR BAGS HAD DEPLOYED. FROM EVERYTHING I HAVE READ, THIS IS THE PERFECT SCENARIO FOR FRONT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. ARE THERE SIMILAIR COMPLAINTS AGAINST GM FOR THE 2007 CHEV AVEO?
