I was recently in an accident and my 2 children were in the vehicle with me. I was in a 5 car wreck in which my vehicle, and the one in front of me were totaled. Upon impact on the front of my truck, my air bags didn't deploy nor did my seat belts lock. My 11 yr old hit his head on the dash, requiring immediate medical attention for a severe laceration which required stitches. I learned from GMC there was a recall on my truck for air bag malfunctions and I was never notified.
Right front tire (no make or model provided) experienced a blowout, causing the vehicle to go off the road, come back onto the roadway, and crash into a cement wall, the consumer stated that he believed the back right tire experienced a blowout as well, during the crash the airbag experienced a no deployment, one person was injured due to the incident. (ohio traffic crash report).
There appears to be a malfunction with the connector of the air bag system located under the front passenger side seat. This malfunction causes the air bag system to shut down, it is frequent, known by Chevrolet, and seems to be difficult to repair since after 4 times of taking the vehicle into service, the problem has yet to be solved.
