Tl-the contact owns a 2004 Buick Rainier. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle hydroplaned, in the rain, and was involved in a crash after the contact loss control of the vehicle. The contact crashed into a wall and was knocked unconscious. The contact's head hit the driver's window and the contact remained in a coma until July of 2016. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. The contact sustained injuries to the right side of the head which caused walking complications and a loss of feeling in the right side of the body. In addition, the contact suffered a loss of sight in the right eye due to a crushed skull. Medical attention was required. The vehicle was destroyed. A dealer was not made aware of the crash. The manufacturer was not made aware of the crash. The failure mileage was unknown. Ad.
A person ran two stop signs and entered vehicle path. The two vehicles hit head on and this vehicle made impact at 40 mph after it decelerated from 43 mph. The two vehicle hit head on with near perfect even impact, based upon third party visual description of the front end of the vehicles damage. The vehicle decelerated at a max sdm recorded velocity change rate of -14. 07 (mph) and a algorithm enabled to maximum sdm recorded velocity change of 127. 5 msec. Driver of the vehicle hit the steering wheel with head knocking the person out. Airbags did not deploy. Onstar was not notified that there was an accident. Computer shows the seatbelt was worn by driver. When the onstar was manually activated by the driver when he came too, the gps showed the vehicle further north up the road causing incorrect police division being called. Vehicle was going up hill when the accident occurred. Other vehicle was going downhill. The other vehicle was a Subaru. Vehicle computer data was retrieved by a bosch crash data retrieval tool using version 8. 0 software. I have a copy of this data. Gm reports that the computer was correct not to deploy airbags and not call for help using onstar. The vehicle had a software modification due to a fault with the fan speed calibration setting off a warning light. We had complained that things were never correct after this modification of the software and took the vehicle to two different dealerships complaining that computers were doing strange things after this firmware modification. Vehicle VIN: 5gaet13p442277676.

While crossing an intersection I was hit in the front right quarter of the vehicle. I was hit by a person running a red light. He was doing 40 to 50 mph in a light truck and knocked my SUV sideways about 15 feet. There is more than $8,000 damage to the vehicle but the side air bags did not deploy. I suffered a concussion and soft tissue injuries. Gm told me I had to get hit in a certain way for the air bags to deploy. They don't tell you that when selling the car. Can you tell me if the bags should have deployed?.
I was stopped at an intersection waiting for the traffic light to change. One vehicle was in front of me. I was impacted from the rear by a third vehicle traveling at a rate of speed I would estimate at somewhere between 20 and 40 mph. The force of the impact threw my car into the car in front of me. In addition to the significant rearend damage sustained, the impact destroyed the front end of my SUV, including bumper, radiator, hood and damage to both front quarter panels. And yet the airbag did not deploy. I'm recovering from back and neck strains and pains from the whiplash effect of the accident. However, I am sure that I would have experienced and endured less trama had the airbag deployed. The 2004 Buick ranier SUV has been towed from the scene. Today or Monday, the insurance adjustor will determine if the vehicle is repairable. Below, I have referenced all component choices related to the airbag becuase it did not deploy. No determination has been made to determine the specific part responsible for the non-deployment of the airbag.
