3 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/09/2016

My husband was driving about 40 mph on a country paved road when his side airbags went off. His radio and lights started flashing. He was able to get home the mile or so, parked the car and shut it off. When he went to start it the next day nothing worked. He was startled by this happening and was lucky he didn't cause an accident or get hurt. He could have caused an accident very easily due to the visibility. Not sure what caused this to happen. - unknown the vehicle was taken to a chevy dealer but they were not able to diagnosis it so at this point we are not aware of exactly all that was effected with the vehicle. I have attached the denial from our insurance.

4 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/21/2015

Our side airbags deployed without us hitting anything. There was no pothole or any curb or anything obstructing our path. We were just driving along and the airbags deployed all on their own. Why has the 2007 chevy Trailblazer not been recalled. We spent $8,000 getting the car repaired.

5 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/02/2007

Traveling on a city street at about 40 mph and the Trailblazer got too close to the curb. The front tire rolled up on the 3-4 inch curb and back onto the street. The side curtain air bags deployed. There was no impact to the SUV. The curb was not that high and it was not a sufficient motion to create a side shock to cause the airbag to deploy. The airbags were replaced at a cost of over $3,000. My insurance company paid the claim and I paid a $1,000 deductible and got an accident premium on my insurance policy. The airbag deployment sensor was too sensitive or defective to cause deployment under these circumstances.
