On Jan 17th,2011 my vehicle was wrecked by the dealer on site of dealership. The whole front end was caved in on center. The driver a mechanic at don woods Chevrolet was driving at a higher then normal speed. He hit a pole dead center and the air bag did not deploy. The driver was injured to what extent I am not sure, but I am not wanting this car back feeling the airbag may deploy at anytime due to the hit it took or it isn't safe and will not deploy upon an accident.
I bought a 2010 Chevy Equinox in Nov 2009. Whenever a passenger rides with me using a laptop the passenger-side airbag light goes "off" and the dashboard computer display says "service passenger airbag." It's consistent and very much a safety issue since the passenger airbag would not deploy in an accident while using the laptop. We do a lot of long-distant driving and laptop use is a business necessity. The Chevy safety folk said, "don't use a laptop" - a very unsatisfactory response.
