Traveling straight on city street, 30 mph, was t-boned in center of driver's side door. Side airbag did not deploy? damage to both doors, center and lower pillar, and the traction control bar bent. Concussion and bruising from inside pillar to driver. Driver was wearing seat belt at time of collision.

Driving home I was approaching intersection in which a few cars were beginning to move as I approached the red light. On a county highway, upon seeing the slow start, I began breaking. Unfortunately I continually pushed brake pedal to floor numerous times with no ability to stop and ran my vehicle under back end of a fedex delivery truck. One head on collision occurred my airbag canisters initiated but but the air bags never deployed after impact I did receive indicator notification stating airbag service required. Prior to the collision o have had total rebuild of motor from block upward by GMC I reported that numerous times while on hwy my card would suddenly stall/ lag . Going from 65-70mph down to 20-30mph. Have had engine maintained well and changing oil etc was told all 3 times I took it is it resulted nothing that could be replicated. Despite having been lucky since it common apparantly for my vehichle to begin loses oil and has to be refilled q-2 x week ly. ( seems to be common complaint from automotive men to state all is good. 1) it is not all good. 2) I could have been killed or seriously injured because of stalling, failed breaking system and lack of air bag. Deployment. I also took several times for timing belt repair and even had motor rebuilt and also despite just having put on when this started 3 monthseago, have had issues since 4 mo after buying vehicle ( had 20,000 miles on it . Of course am always told not in warranty time limit or my VIN # not included in cars identified of increased risk and always told there is an inability to replicate complaints. Well now I have a totalled car but praise be to god he still writing my story and I am unharmed and will need new vehichle.

Service airbag has been on for about 6 months; currently the passenger airbag "off" is illuminated. I am going to assume that means the passengeer airbag will not deploy during an accident. I have been reading online and it seems like this is a common problem with the Chevrolet Equinox and chevy nor general motors have put a recall on the defective air bags. Dtc incorrect b0081 (right sis installed) and b0074 (passenger occupant classification sensor circuit) seems to be the cause.

I was driving 79mph down interstate 295 when a voulcher flew into my front driver side lower car panel causing the air bag canister to deploy but not the airbag itself. The airbag light came on and the service airbag came up on my display. I contacted state patrol and they came out to see the damage but could not file a report. I do however, have the state patrol officers name and email address. I had to get my car towed and taken to a garage where an airbag specialist came out and claimed that the airbag system was messed up and it had to be replaced along with my seatbelts. I was not injured luckily but it is scary to know that my airbag did not deploy.

Air bags did not deploy at or above the mfg. Thresholds. Which caused for no air bag deployment and significant facial trauma on the steering wheel. Seat belt pretenstioners also did pretension causing the upper torso to go forward and cause the facial trauma on the steering wheel.
