As I slid off the traveled portion of the hgy. My car impacted the wall head on. I was slammed into the dash . A moment later I calmed down and thought to myself why didn't the airbags deploy?

I was recently in a front end collission with a chevy Hhr lt 2007 where my air bags deployed. Due to the airbags being deployed my seatbelts locked to prevent me from hitting the steering wheel and window. However my passanger seatbelt ( no one was in the passanger seat)locked and due to the pressure of the lock/combustion chamber the plastic cover of the seat belt became projectile in the car and hitting my right arm causing abrasions and burn marks. I now have a perminate scar due to the force of impact from the seatbelt cover.

18 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/17/2007

The service air bag warning comes on in my 2007 Chevrolet Hhr. I found that this problem exists on other late model gm vehicles and there is a service bulletin addressing this problem as well as NHTSA #10020881. My concern is that this is a recognized safety problem that puts the consumer at the mercy of the dealer who may or may not properly diagnose and service vehicles with this safety issue. There is the potential to replace the air bag (at great cost to the consumer) for unsuspecting consumers. Additionally, if this problem is so prevalent why is there not a recall or at least some protection for the consumers when we try to get this safety problem repaired? my understanding is that this warning is related to the passenger seat so there is the serious matter of child protection. Thank you for any information or course of action you have for the consumer's safety regarding this matter.
