6 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 11/11/2014

While I was driving down the road, both curtain side air bags deployed at same time. There were no other cars on the road, so I was able to stop the vehicle without causing an accident. The airbag on the driver side pushed me over so hard that it broke my center console. My lower back still hurts, but I am hoping the pain will go away. My left ear is still ringing and has not returned to normal hearing yet caused from the exploding noise from the airbag deployment. Both of the front seat belts will not work and the dashboard has so many lights going off, I don't know if there are any other problems. The dealership that I purchased the vehicle from said the damages could run as much as $4000. 00 which I do not have and my insurance doesn't cover this since there was no accident that caused this. The dealership service dept. Also said they have never heard of any vehicles doing this. After research, I see that this has happened alot.

7 Seat Belt problem

My son was driving the 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer lt when the following event occurred: while traveling at approx 35 mph on a straight, smooth city street the side curtain airbags deployed on my 2008 chevy Trailblazer lt along with both front seat belts tightening and locking in place. There were no sudden abrupt maneuvers, no contact with any other objects . . . Nothing!!!! it appears that this is a common problem with nothing being done about it . . . Why???!!!.

While driving straight at approximately 40 mph the side airbags deployed for no reason. As a result the seat belts no long function appropriately.

9 Seat Belt problem

Failure Date: 05/24/2012

On may 24, 2012- I was traveling out our mile long gravel driveway. Half way down the driveway the side curtain airbags on both sides deployed. There was no crash- they just came out. I contacted gm. They finally sent out a 3rd party investigator to investigate the vehicle. They determined that the vehicle had a roll-over event. The vehicle did not roll-over. Gm told me that it was an insurance issue. Insurance company says it is a mechanical issue and was gm's problem to fix. At this time the vehicle still sits with both side airbags out and the front driver and passenger seatbelts are locked in place. Vehicle is not drivable.
