Five problems related to front air bag have been reported for the 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I drove to the airport I got there early and my son was sleeping so my cousin and I decided to take a little nap as well. It was thanksgiving week. It was very cold outside so we started the car to warm it up after about an hour, then my son woke up so we decided to start getting everything ready to get on the shuttle. Remember we are parked in a parking lot and have not moved for over an hour. We got my son out of his seat brought him to the front seat with us, I was getting his diaper bag ready and my cousin was changing his diaper and putting his shoes on for me. When she was done my son wanted me and as soon as he got to the middle console, out of no where the front airbags deployed, on both sides drivers and passengers side! luckily none of us were hurt and my son was where he was or he would have been severely injured he was only 18 months at the time of the incident! as soon as I got home I called general motors myself and reported the incident and they made an appointment with me to investigate what could have made this happen. They said they found nothing, so obviously there was a default somewhere. I have been trying to get help for months now and I am getting no where. I could trade it in but without airbags I am losing a couple thousand dollars. Both sides are still all open and not fixed I do not have the money to fix them, I do not and did not want to sue, I would just be happy with a trade in so I can have a safe vehicle for my family and myself.
I drive a 2002 chevy Trailblazer 4wd and my son was driving the vehicle on halloween night. He was driving the speed limit of 30 mph and swerved to avoid a possum in the road, he overcorrected and lost control of the car causing the car to colide with a tree at the front panel and driver's side door. Upon impact the air bag did not inflate and the car immediately caught fire. Luckily my son was able to crawl out the passenger side window but this could have been a terrible situation. We would like to know why the airbag did not inflate and why the car would have caught on fire with a driver's side impact?.
Consumer lost steering and hit a tree head on. In addition, the seat belt failed to lock causing injuries to the consumer (driver). (lawyer on behalf of client rebecca doyle). The airbag also burned/injured the passenger. The vehicle experienced electrical problems with the brake lights, tail lights, fuel gauge, left seat belt, dash (computer readout) and the brakes pulled.
We where hit broadside buckling the floor roof tearing the complete front end out of the truck and no air bags deployed side or front.
While traveling about 40mph the vehicle was involved with a frontal collision. Neither airbag deploy please provide additional information. Dealer is aware of the problem. Ts.
