Four problems related to front air bag have been reported for the 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving my 99 Tahoe down a 4 lane road, a drunk had pulled out infront of me. I had slammed on my brakes and swerved to avoid him but still hit him pretty hard in his rear quarter panel. As a result of the accident, I had suffered a double hematoma to my brain and had brain surgery to stay alive. My complaint with my Tahoe is 1) my airbag in my steering wheel did not deploy. I think if it did, my injury would have been avoided. 2) I question the stopping ability if my anti dive front brakes. I was on the brakes hard with the vehicle nosing down but I think my stopping distance should have been shorter.
Front collision at 25-30 mph, and neither airbag deployed, consumer suffered minor injuries.
Consumer was traveling about 30mph on highway and without prior warning front wnt into shoulders of a steep hill. 45 degree angle, and vehicle hit a tree. Upon impact, dual bags didn't go off. Dealership was aware of problem.
Consumer was traveling 55mph on highway and another vehicle ran in front, and consumer's vehicle hit other vehicle broadside. Upon impact, airbags didn't go off.
