Another car ran a red light & my son, in the Sonic ran into the side of the other car. His Sonic was totaled & despite this fact that the other car's side airbags deployed upon impact, his Sonic airbags did not. My son was accelerating from stop light on a city street when the other car ran the red light. The impact was severe enough to bend 2 of the 4 frame rails. The engine compartment buckled down as they should have, but the concerning thing is airbags didn't deploy with a significant impact. My son now has a replacement Sonic but concerned due to the recent recall of several million cars/trucks with defect in airbag deployment mechanism of gm products.
