37 Air Bag problem of the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze

Failure Date: 10/01/2021

Due to onstar 2g sunsetting their services at the end of this year, all makes of general motors vehicles did not comply to any of the customers requests to upgrade their module to 4g services, although upon researching, all canadian gm vehicles did get the upgrade well over 7 years ago. This is well beyond a concern with gm and onstar customers. With the NHTSA as a safety liaison and protecting the consumer, if a module upgrade can be applied in a vehicle that is on the same assembly parts, platform, electrical components. . . And be denied from the united states? the NHTSA should realize that this will be frivolous law suits because of neglect and safety concerns with gm and onstar in the united states.

The car was a total loss due to a mva which involved this car only. The car hydroplaned, it spun and the traction control light was blinking. The front of the car hit the guardrail, spun, and then the back end hit the guardrail. At this point, all the dash lights were blinking and the car dead in the road. The flashers were turned on but due to the car dead, there were no flashers on and the car was stuck in the fast lane of a three lane highway in the dark and pouring rain. The air bags never deployed nor did the seatbelt tighten up. Components that failed: flashers, airbags, seatbelts, etc. Safety: could not alert other drivers that the car was in the road and was almost struck by a tractor trailer and other cars. Problem was reported to the insurance company who claimed it as a total loss. The police were called to the scene of the accident so there is a police report. The traction control warning light lit when the car hydroplaned. All the lights on the dash started flashing when it hit the guardrail, then after that, unsure when the car died and no power. The tow truck driver could not turn the steering wheel when he tried to pull it up the flat bed.
