I was in an accident when my 2018 chevy Equinox rear ended a stopped vehicle at a traffic light. There was significant damage to the front of my vehicle 12k plus. The emergency braking system did not activate, nor did the airbags. My wife experienced severe contusions to the chest area. We wonder why the emergency braking system or airbags failed to deploy.
At 12pm on June 11, 2023 I was parked in a church sparking lot in east rochester and was facing the church's stone wall. My vehicle was only 2 feet from the was when the car accelerated toward the wall and all of the airbags opened and the hood and side panels were affected causing the vehicle was considered totaled by my insurance. My foot was on the brake and I was preparing to put the car in park when the car lurched forward and hit the wall at a high rate of speed. Gm examined the car and gave me a report I could not understand but their report indicated that there was not a vehicle defect. I find this highly improbable. I can send the report and perhaps your organization can read it or do your own inspection of my vehicle. Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. This same thing has happened to 2 other people I know who drive Equinoxes. Best regards, sheila burdick 315 699 0643 cell 315 247 7365.
The air bag system failed.
Air bag service light goes on when front passenger buckles up, if passenger unbuckles light disappears, it happens while driving, parked, backing up, all speed, all weather conditions, any roads. It looks the seatbelt activate that service light . I bought the car used 11/28/20 and still have dmv warranty 60 days, however stephen automall centre, bristol CT doesn't honor the warranty!.
Vehicle was involved in a front end collision. No other passengers besides driver of vehicle was in car. The drivers airbag deployed, but upon exiting the vehicle the passenger seat had caught fire due to a malfunctioning airbag.
Takata recall, I was turning into the left turn lane, when I applied the brakes the brake peddle was locked and I could not apply pressure to stop. I continued to apply pressure to the brake, but it continued to be locked. When I hit the car in front of me the airbags did not inflate. When the car stopped the brakes continued to be locked. When the officers arrived they looked at the brake peddle and they were still locked in place.
