On Dec 31, 2020 I struck a deer on a county rd going approx 45mph. The impact was so hard the drive train was shoved into the car and the radiator exploded and the entire front passenger side was destroyed. Neither pass. Nor drivers side doors would open. The car is a total loss yet the airbags never deployed throughout the entire vehicle but you could see a white powdery smoke and it smell as if they did and the car now says service airbags. Also the driver and passenger side seat belt never retracted back and my daughter and I were both injured as I was slammed into the steering wheel suffering damage to my chest and face and her head/ face bounced off the dash due to the air bags not deploying and the seatbelts not working. We are lucky we weren't killed as the entire front end of the vehicle, engine included was pushed to the inside of the car. We were going to look into getting us another Equinox as I had just had this one for about seven months but I absolutely loved it but after reading all these reports that are identical to ours as far as seatbelts and airbags go and realizing this is a very common thing with 2015 Equinox and after this happening to us it's obvious this vehicle is not safe to drive or at least not safe to get into an accident with and it sounds like there needs to be a recall but yet that hasn't happened. I have read hundreds of reports exactly like this one. I'm very disappointed in chevy for letting this continually happen with no recall or warning to your customers. . A police report was filed on this and injuries did occur. The police officer and the wrecker driver said they've never seen a deer do so much damage to a vehicle before and the officer could not believe that the airbags did not deploy on us and said that we most definitely need to check into it because he would assume that they were recalled but here we are and they're not.
We hit a deer going 70 mph last night on interstate 10 headed westbound , upon impact the airbags did not go off. We smelled something that smelled like it was burning, it was the igniter to the airbags. Now the car is giving us a service airbag message on the screen. Our airbags all failed to deploy.
I was driving home from work. While making a turn my car was unable to brake. I slammed into a telephone pole which my airbags did not deploy. My car hit the pole a hard right. My head and neck was push forward extremely fast causing trauma.
Takata recall: my car was involved in a 3 car crash at the corner of 28th Ave n and 4th st. N on December 14, 2018. I was in the median waiting to cross oncoming traffic when I perceived the lanes were clear and proceeded to cross the road. I was t-boned by an oncoming Dodge avenger, into the front end of a Jeep wrangler and pushed into a stop sign. My airbags failed to deploy but the avenger's passenger and driver airbags deployed. I was taken to bayfront er by ambulance and admitted to trauma department suffering a sternum fracture and compressed chest injuries. My left hand also suffered a possible fracture. The police report is not factual. It states my airbags were deployed but from the picture you can clearly see they were not and the insurance adjuster will testify that they were not deployed.
