My son was driving my Chevrolet s-10 pickup truck on interstate highway 75 going south around exit for 9 mile road. He met with an accident with the vehicle in front of it a Jeep cherokee. The truck was towed by michigan state police. My insurance company inspected the vehicle and totaled it. The front end of the truck was very badly damaged. My complaint is that both the airbags of the truck did not engage. According to the police officer and my insurance inspector said the airbags should have engaged. I called gm and filed a complaint on 07-14-2003. Complaint number 1-118887130. Was called by mike dimare of the gm customer complaints center. He requested me to fax the repair estimate and the photos to him which was done on 07-17-2003. Just wanted to let your offices know that this incidence has scared my 16 year son so much that he does not want to get in a gm vehicle at all.

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.
