Six problems related to air bag have been reported for the 2001 Chevrolet Silverado. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was traveling about 30 miles per hour when I had to stop for a van ahead of me. I touched my brakes and the pedal went all the way to the floor. No brakes at all. Because of other traffic, and no time, I hit the van in the rear. Neither of the air bags deployed. The gentleman in the van had to go to the hospital. I had a bump on my leg, and my brother was not hurt. I just now have heard other stories of the same problem going on for years. This is not right.
My fiance and I were driving home and as we entered town going approximately 35-45 mph the vehicle swerved off the road and collided into a telephone pole breaking it in half causing the top half of the telephone pole to swing down and smack into the windshield. He smacked his face off of the steering wheel and I was laying down on the seat and rolled off and broke the ashtray holder with my face. During the impact not a single airbag deployed even though the airbags were all in working order. The impact was so severe that the tailgate of the truck bent outward, the radiator was ripped out from beneath the vehicle and the front passenger side was totaled. I was then put into a neck brace, strapped to a gurney and rushed to the hospital. I will reiterate the fact that none of the airbags deployed causing the both of us to be injured. We luckily survived the crash but had the airbags deployed the both of us would have suffered minimal injuries.
