I had an accident in my 2004 chevy truck at a speed of approx 80 mph head on impact. The truck was totaled but my air bags didn't work. I made a complaint to gmac, they had an investigation and according to them there was nothing wrong with the air bags. I find that hard to believe with that kind of impact, this is a safety issue and I have 2001 chevy suburban that my wife drives with my children. Can you please look into this because I would like to know gmac is not taken responsibility for the air bag failure. Thank god I was wearing my seat belt , because it was the only thing that saved my life.
I was driving up tp a stop light when the light turned red there was a car in front of me that had stopped, I realized I didn't have a lot of room but thought it would be enough to stop. I put the pedal to the floor and still hit them two people were injured. Then on 9/8/07 and a deer ran out iin front of me, again my foot to the floor I hit the deer. 1st I was suprised that my air bags didn't deploy (really tore up the front of the truck) and 2nd I should of been able to slow down in time. After reading all of the issues with the brakes on chevys and no one is doing anything about it, I think its time to look for a different car company.
