I was involved in a head on collision with another vehicle, a larger GMC dually. I was traveling at 55 mph when the other vehicle entered my lane at near or equal speed and struck me head on. I had time to react by stomping the breaks but I seemed to not slow down. I had no where to turn all possible lanes of avoidance were blocked with smaller cars. The airbags did not deploy. . . It is my understanding that by law cars/light trucks are required by law to have airbags if they are 1998 or newer. I understand a light truck to be up to 8,600 lbs gross weight with payload. This standard includes my truck, I sustained sever injuries to my neck/chest and ruptured discs in my back resulting in emergency back surgery. If I had airbags I am sure my injuries would not have been nearely as server and I my have not lost so much. Someone is responsible for this and I would appreciate any and all assistance you can offer me. Thank you.
Have a 2000 chevy silverado z71 started having problems with unwanted antilock brake activation at low speed brake applications which resulted in several close calls. Contacted dealer after finding recall #05v379000 which has limited recall to so called "salt belt" states. Told dealer that I have traveled frequently through salt belt states and his reply was the recall did not effect me and there was nothing they could do. But it is same problem listed in recall. Also told me that there is recall on airbag sensor for my vehicle" 02v178000" but my vehicle would not have recall performed because of mileage.
Los cintos DE seguridad y bolsas DE aire DE urban,tahoe,sonora,pick up y yukon no sirven, son defectuosos y no protejen al usuario en caso DE accidentes. Ngenieros y supervisores DE la fabrica brid o breed nos avisaron que no sirven y pueden ocasionar lesiones muy graves, incluida la muerte. Los DE la fabrica bred saben DE estos problemas y no los quisieron arreglar para evitar costos. Gm tanbien sabe DE esto y no arreglo nada para evitar gastos y demandas. Por favor investiguen esto. Es algo muy serio que ustedes deben investigar a fondo, revisen los archivos DE gm y bred y encontraran que toda esta informacion esta guardada y nada hicieron para arreglar el asunto. The safety belts and air bags of the urban, tahoe, sonara, pickup, and yukon are of no use. They are defective and do not protect the user in cases of crashes. The bred factory knows about these problems and did not want to fix the problem to avoid costs and judgements. Please investigate this problem. The manufacturer or the dealer did nothing to fix the problem.
