Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer

I was in a crash and neither front airbag deployed, my insurance adjuster questioned if the air bag system even works. I have copy of the estimate to repair as well. Due to the force of impact even local repair shop stated that my air bags should have gone off as well. Is there a recall on this model for air bags not deploying? I was in a second wreck on 3/7/17 and neither air bag deployed at that time either and there was no bumper so air bags should have definitely gone off.

Letter from senator nelson on behalf of constituent regarding general motor safety defects. The consumer suggested there was a defect with the gm air bags in 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer, in which the driver sustained a brain injury and his wife was injured, when it was impacted on the driver's side, resulting in left a-pillar contact when the air bag failed to deploy and his seat belt restraints failed. The crash was of enormous severity, with a speed change of 38 mph with a line force in the direction of the a pillar.

As soon as you start vehicle. . . . Dash shows that the air bags needs to be services and it stays on the whole time of your journey. . When I lift my seat to get correct positioning to drive it starts to have the bell sensor ring, like when you don't your seat bealt on. . . . But I have my seat belt on/fastened,,took to mtn view Chevrolet/chattanooga, TN. . . They could not find a reason why and told me no recall on this VIN model. . So I have decided to issue a complaint before something happens and the air bags do not deploy. . Thank you. .

I was involved in an automobile accident out of state. I was traveling during the evening hours to try to avoid heavy traffic. I started having trouble with the dim lights and could only proceed using the bright lights. The next thing I realize is that I am unable to control the vehicle and struck another vehicle on the road. I then proceeded to slide down an embankment approximately 30 feet. My vehicle sustained enormous damage to the front and side of the vehicle. The front airbags did not deploy and my vehicle was deemed totaled by my insurer.

While approaching intersection a vehicle traveling perpendicular to us failed to stop at stop sign. This vehicle entered the intersection and we "t-boned" the vehicle. Our vehicle sustained a direct hit on the front of the vehicle and the air bags never deployed. After the initial collision our vehicle remained in contact with the vehicle that failed to stop and both of our vehicles were driven directly into a tree, thus incurring another significant impact ( more significant than the initial collision w/ the other car ) and the air bags still did not deploy. There were 2 people in the front seats and 2 people in rear seats. All sustained injuries and needed or still require medical attention. The two passengers on the other vehicle were fatally injured. There had never been any indication of air bag failure and never any warning "idiot" lights on the dashboard ever at any time indication any issues w/ air bag functionality. With recent events showing failure of gm air bags, I believe this is another indication of this failure which needs to be investigated. Safety features are sometimes taken for granted in vehicles, but when needed to perform, they are expected to perform as engineered. These safety features are factored into the decision making of vehicle purchases and are expected to perform.

In approximately April of 2010 my gas gage on my 06 Trailblazer quit working. The part was no longer under warranty at 84k miles. Very dangerous when traveling 400 miles with elderly aunt and small child 2x a week. On October 1, 2010 I was involved in a high speed collision when a car pulled in front of me, while I was going 70mph. The airbags did not deploy, I suffered major trauma to my knees and am unable to walk well or drive. I hit my head on the steering wheel and continue to have pain. My elderly aunt broke 3 cervical vertebrae and still has a trachiotomy over a month later. She is still in the hospital, and it is unknown if she will come home.

I was driving on highway 20 heading towards north carolina. I was about 5 to 10 miles from meridian, ms and I was driving into a down pour of rain. Two semis passed me splashing water and after the second semi passed all I knew was my vehicle spinning out of control at a rapid speed bouncing up and down for about 30 to 50 yards and finally slamming into a tree on the driver side and the airbags did not deploy. I myself sustained minor injuries along with my oldest son. My two younger sons were in the backseat but I had a basket next to the drivers side passengers door which made one of my son's sit in the middle and my other son to the right of him.

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer. While driving 35 mph, the brake pedal was resistant when it was depressed. The vehicle would not stop and the contact rear ended another vehicle. The road conditions were dry and there were no warning indicator lights prior to the failure. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The front bumper was damaged and the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the brake failure. The manufacturer stated that the speed was not fast enough to make the air bags deploy. The driver was wearing her seat belt, but she reinjured her back and experiences numbness in her legs. While driving between 30-60 mph, the engine would stall and the check engine warning light flashed. The vehicle would not restart and was towed to the dealer. The dealer stated that the failure was caused by a failed seal that caused water and orange sludge to build up in the engine. The engine was cleaned and the failed seal was replaced. The frame around the license plate was leaking tar. The dealer informed her that the tar was coming from the tailgate. She applied tar remover to the tailgate and license frame and no longer experienced the failure. The failure mileage was 12,000 and current mileage was 14,000.
