Found alot of complaints online about same issues. I determined cause of front clunk on my own.

While I was driving over a highway at 55 mph under heavy rain conditions, I lost control of my vehicle (chevy Cavalier 2004) and had a frontal crash against the concrete median. During the impact, the air bags did not deploy provoking minor injuries in the face to the only occupant of the vehicle. Two days after the accident I filled out a report with GMC and they sent an inspector to take the information from the "black box" and some pictures of the final condition of the car. I tried to contact the representative in charge (tracy saverino) for weeks, I left several voice messages to find out what to do with the damaged vehicle, already being repaired by the insurance company. I expressed my concern for keeping this vehicle in operation after the safety system's test in real conditions. Recently I was notified by a letter through the GMC claims department that they are not going to take responsibility for the defective system and they did not give any result of the investigation or explanation of the causes that originated the malfunction. They encourage me to preserve in the immediate post-accident condition the vehicle if I wished to support with evidences my claim when they have the information taken directly from the vehicle which was in the post-accident condition by the day of the inspection. This behavior constitutes a disrespect and is a form of abusive treatment considering that the company was reluctant to answer my phone calls and intentionally protracted the procedure to allow the customer to start with the repairs and Dodge the responsibility and conceal a mechanical defect in this vehicle and probably many others with the same component serial number.

I'm filing this for my dad. He wouldn't know how to use a computer. A man stole a vehicle and was being chased by police in kansas city when my dad was in the intersection at the wrong time and was hit square on the driver's side of his chevy Cavalier. I'm not sure of the year, but it's less than 3 years old. He had his seat belt on, but the air bag never deployed. The crash was severe enough that he has 7 fractured ribs, left pelvic fracture, left acetabular fracture, left tibia/fibular fractures and 2 fractures in the ankle of his left foot. He's still in rehab. I'm not sure the deployment of the airbag would have made a huge difference, but wanted to make sure this was not a consistent problem. I just clicked no on the previous page about release of my dad's information since you'd have to ask him that question. Thanks for looking into this. My number in san antonio is 210-492-7653 (barbara roach).

(1) my cousin was driving her 1998 Cavalier when she was struck head on by an oncoming vehicle (2) her driver's side chair broke lose and her seat belt came out of its fastener and the metal "hook" striking her body resulting in a laceration. Her body was then throw forward with such great force that she hit the windshield with her head twice resulting in a concussion, black eye, swollen forehead and other cuts and bruises. Additionally, at the point of impact, despite the force with which she was struck, her airbag failed to deploy which could have further prevented her striking the windshield.
