2005 chevy Trailblazer was driven by my granddaughter. She was trying to enter onto I-10 interstate and was going too fast on the entrance ramp. Road conditions were hazardous as it was a severe rain storm. She hydroplaned and hit a vehicle in front of her which caused her to spin into oncoming traffic. She was hit on the driver's side and the truck spun around several times before it stoppped. The airbag did not deploy!!! the police officer and the tow company driver said she was lucky to be alive. My concern is this could have been a fatal accident and the airbag failed to deploy. The Trailblazer was totaled as the axle and the engine were on the ground. The driver's side front wheel came off. I have always like chevy vehicles but am now hesitant to purchase another one b/c of this issue with the air bag.

My daughter had an accident on 12/16/2008. She has(had) a 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer LS, 2 wheel drive SUV. While driving on the ohio turnpike during a snow storm she lost control and had a head on crash with a cement retaining wall while traveling between 25 to 35 miles per hour. The air bag did not deploy during the accident and she slammed hard into the steering wheel resulting in a concussion, chest injuries, sore wrist, dizziness, and still has ringing in one ear. She did have her safety belt on at the time of the accident and always wears it. We are baffled as to why the air bag did not come out as it would have save her much pain. The car is a total wreck as described by the pontiac dealer that her insurance company towed the SUV to for repairs. The Trailblazer sustained much damage such as a bent frame, broken transmission, all of the motor mounts and the transmission mounts broke loose from the frame, bent steering wheel, and all parts from the engine forward are either gone or bent beyond repair. With this violent of a crash no one has been able to tell us why the air bags did not deploy. We bought this SUV used from a chevy dealer in July of 2005 and it had around 8000 miles on it at that time. I would like to know if there is some way of checking the functionally of this air bag to see if there may be a possible problem with it. Her crash was head on and in my opinion violent enough to activate the driver side air bag. Any suggestions as to what we should do?.

On September 28th 2006 I was driving my 2005 chevy Trailblazer ext down the road between 55 and 60 mph. It had started raining about 5 minutes earlier. I started up the hill and was approaching the other road I needed to turn on and gently applied the brakes. As soon as I applied the brakes, the vehicle went out of control. I tried to pump the brakes and get the vehicle back into control but had no luck. I then crossed the center line and crashed head on into the guard rail on the other side of the road. After I hit the guard rail I bounced off of that and hit an on coming vehicle in the passenger side with the front end of my car. I then proceeded to continue back to the other side of the road and jump a 4ft ditch and finally came to a stop on the other side of the ditch. The funny thing is that this all happened while I was traveling up hill!!! I truly believe the so called four wheel anti-lock brakes failed. The air bags never deployed either! after the crash the right front tire had a huge hole in the side wall and I am not too sure that this wasn't part of the problem. The torn part of the tire is sticking out and seems like it failed too. I just wish I could get someone to investigate this (goodyear tires).
