Six problems related to front air bag have been reported for the 2000 Chevrolet S10. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Consumer's friend while driving the vehicle had an accident and neither of the air bags deployed.
Vehicle was involved in a frontal collision at about 35-40 mph and neither air bag deployed. Dealer and manufacturer were not notified, there was one injury.
My son went over a bridge and the brakes made a loud noise, engaged and caused him to fishtail and run his front end into the bridge. He had a witness behind him that saw the whole thing and said it was very scary and a good thing there was no oncoming traffic. It did $2300 worth of damage and his airbags did not employ.
While traveling at 30-35 mph consumer ran into a tree head-on and none of the air bags deployed. There was a 11,320 dollar damage to vehicle. Contacted dealer, and the dealer was not willing to do anything.
When attempting to back the truck up, the backs of the seats are too high and it obstructs my view. One night while trying to back my truck up in my yard, my view was too obstructed and I hit a tree. The tailgate of my truck was down, and was damaged. It is un-repairable. I was backing up at about 5 mph, so the airbags didn't open. This has been a problem from the beginning. I haven't contacted the manufacturer, but if you advise me to do so, I will. The anti-lock brakes just went made a grinding noise and I had to almost push them to the floor to stop. . . I was going 35-40 mph and someone in front of me slammed on their brakes. Since then, the brakes scrub and make a grinding noise if I don't stop gradually. The brake pads were looked at and are okay. I'm not a mechanic, but if it's not the pads, then what is it??? noone was injured in either incident, but I'd like to know if there have been any other complaints about the seats. I'm almost 6 feet tall and can't see over them, and barely see around them. That's dangerous!. . . As is the braking system.
Vehicle experienced brake failure while traveling at approximately 40 to 50 mph and rear ended another vehicle. Upon impact, neither driver or passenger air bags deployed. No determination has been made as to why this equipment did not deploy. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
