2 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 02/02/2019

My airbag service light was on- I had a diagnostic ran on my vehicle. I was told by the glendora Chevrolet dealership that my vehicle was too dangerous to drive and I needed to have my airbag replaced for $1,000. I have never been in an accident and my airbags have never been deployed. This seems like an odd service needed on a newer vehicle. This should be categorized as a safety recall issue versus a maintenance needed.

6 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 09/21/2015

On September 21, 2015 I was driving was driving north (23 mph) and was t-boned by another vehicle who took a 2 way stop sign. I did not have a stop sign. I was pushed across two lanes and into a grassy field. I was slammed into in between the passenger drivers seat and the back passenger seat. I was wearing my seat belt as was my daughter whom was sitting my airbags did not deploy. The car that that hit me all their airbags deployed. I was the driver and my daughter was a passenger in the back . I broke my neck and had displaced fluid in my knee. She had minor bruising in her car seat. I tried filing against gm and nothing was done. They came back claiming that the system had not failed. I had no further way of proving other wise. I feel that my car falls into a recall but that it has not yet been discovered or established. How is it possible that not one airbag deployed? not the front drivers or the curtains?.
