My 16 year old son was driving. My 13 year old daughter was his passenger. He was driving a 2002 Saturn Vue. He hit a tree, dead-on, going 40 mph. The airbags did not deploy. Firefighters, police, ambulance folks, body shop rep: they all said the same thing and look at me with amazement that this happened (or didn't happen). I bought the car with the impression it was equipped with working airbags. If a vehicle hits someone, dead-on, going 40mph, I expect airbags to work, especially when the vehicle was sold to me using this as a feature. Last night, a week after our accident, we passed yet another Vue accident so I stopped out of curiosity. This lady was traveling 40-45 mph and rear ended another car. Guess what, her airbags did not deploy either. I suppose I'll have to start my own little "Saturn" investigation service as I intend to find out just how often this happens. This lady had a 2007 Vue, so I do not accept my car being older or anything else as an excuse of something that looks to me like was defective to start with.

As entering the intersection of hwy 173 and bi pass 534. Other vehicle turned left in front of me. I had the green light. My daughter was driving my 2005 Saturn Vue. We were going between 40 and 50 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone. The front center to the left front corner collided with the other vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. The insurance company said sometimes they just don't. At the seen of the accident the emt told me I should get out of the car if I was able to. Because the air bags might still deploy, as they have been known to do so before. The insurance company refuses to pay for new air bags. Stating that there is no danger of them unexpectedly deploying. My complaint is that the air bags did not deploy and they might unexpectedly.

Driving northbound on highway 116. Vehicle in front of me started to slow down and slightly pulled off to the right of the highway. At the time before the car in front of me started to slow down I had the cruise control set at 70 mph when the car in front of me started to slow down. I slowed down to about 60-65 mph and pulled off the road slightly. There was a semi truck traveling south bound on the highway I thought either there was something in the road ahead of the car in front of me or the truck was in our lane. The roads were dry and the sun was coming up. As I began to come back on the road my right front tire was feeling wobbly and I either hit the curb on the bridge or a piece of metal causing me to lose control of the vehicle. I ran head on to the southbound side of the bridge then started spinning and hitting the bridge several times. I finally ended up back on the northbound side of the bridge about 3/4 of the way down the bridge. With my front end hitting that side of the bridge. What concerns me is that my air bags never deployed in the vehicle and I sustained neck, shoulder and right knee injuries. At this time the vehicle is at a local body shop with the insurance, and company that makes the vehicle investigates the damage. I have filed a complaint with Saturn letting them know that I believe that this is a product defect.

The impact totaled my truck to the point of the rear was crushed to the back seat and the front frame was broken in half with about a 1 inch gap. My issues with the safety are: the drivers side seat broke nearly all the way back into the rear seat to the right with the seat sliding back and forth. The air bags did not deploy - yes, I was originally rear-ended - however the impact to the front was extensive as well. The driver's seat belt did not engage causing me to hit my face and head against the steering wheel causing severe neck pain (a cervical sprain) and a broken nose requiring surgery to repair.

On March 14, 2003, my family and I were traveling w on hwy 138 in stockbridge, GA. We had a green light and were proceeding through when a Ford explorer pulled in front of us. We hit him in the passenger side, squarely across the front of our vehicle. We were traveling approximately 45 mph when we hit and the two front airbags did not deploy. The damage to our vehicle is equal across the front and the front end of the vehicle is crushed all the way to the front tires. Our vehicle was a 2002 Saturn Vue. No one was injured seriously, but we were told when we bought the car that the airbags deploy in front end collisions.
