Ten problems related to side/window air bag have been reported for the 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was driving on the freeway and what around crave . The side airbags what off. I do not hit any thing or run over any thing.
Lucky to be alive. On 4 14 2019 while driving 65mph on 101 freeway in thousand oaks California, a pickup truck veered into my lane. When I moved over to avoid the pickup both side airbags went off with a bang filling car with powdery cloud. My left ear popped from the loud bang but I was able to get off on the shoulder. Called 911 and CA highway patrol came out and did a report. Both officers had never seen anything like it. There was no impact to the car and the chp took multiple pictures of the exterior. Milage on the car at time of accident was 117,873 . Chp cutaway the airbags and my father came out and drove it home and then to auto shop to evaluate. Seat belt also stopped working now that airbags deployed. Really terrifying experience.

I took a left turn with my 2005 chevy Trailblazer ext. And fishtailed on some ice and my side airbags deployed. I have read several other complaints about this on the internet and gm has told those people that the black box said that the airbag system anticipated a rollover and they have not paid to have the damage fixed. I have told gm this has happened and am waiting to hear back from them but am expecting the same verdict that everyone else has received. I don't see how fishtailing on wet pavement, ice, or in some instances or around something can cause airbags to deploy. I have airbags that need to be replaced, the interior roof needs to be replaced, and the seat belts are all locked up and can't be used.
I was driving down a curvy road. I looked away from the road for a second and when I looked back to the road I was slightly veering off. I overcorrected the car to my left and corrected back to the right. Once I was back straight again-the side impact airbags deployed. This all happened very quick. I was traveling about 35-40 mph. There was no damage to the vehicle, I did not hit anything and there was no collision. There was only one other passenger in the car and no one was hurt. I called the insurance company who declined the claim since there was no collision or property damage. They attributed the crash to overly sensitive yaw sensors. The insurance company told me they have seen similar occurrences that they attributed to the yaw sensor. I made a claim with Chevrolet, the manufacturer, of my vehicle. Chevrolet sent out a 3rd party engineer/inspector to look at and diagnose the vehicle. The engineer's report said that the vehicle was preparing for a roll over and acted as it was supposed to so there was no mechanical malfunctions. Nothing has been done to correct this situation. The airbags on the vehicle have not been replaced. Chevrolet says the car has no mechanical defect and the insurance company says there was no collision or anything to attribute to why the airbags deployed, other than the airbags being too sensitive.
The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer. While driving 45 mph, both side air bags deployed without an impact or crash occurring. The contact swerved on the highway, but managed to drive the vehicle to the dealer, where it is currently being inspected by the manufacturer. The current and failure mileages were 74,000.
The side curtain airbags deployed without cause on our 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer, causing interior damage.
Was driving on highway at approximately 65mph when we were cut off by another vehicle. We drove off onto the shoulder to avoid the accident and started to slid sideways. As we corrected the vehicle we entered upon the pavement and corrected the sliding vehicle and was continuing to drive straight for about 3 seconds when the side airbag deployed. Tgere was no collision nor was the corrective move so erratic as to tip the vehicle.
: the contact stated while traveling 20 mph, the side curtain airbags deployed without a collision. The contact sustained minor injuries. The dealership was unable to determine a problem, but replaced the airbag sensor with the sensor for the current model year vehicles.
