39 Air Bag Not Deploy problem of the 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Failure Date: 12/22/2014

It was sleeting and I lost control on a curve. I had been driving about 50 mph, but braked before the curve and braked very hard when I tried to regain control of the vehicle, as it was sliding sideways toward the curve. I went off the curve and hit an elevated crossroad, which sent the vehicle airborne. I was airborne over most of the side road, with the rear of the vehicle hitting just the last few inches of pavement, which then sent the vehicle nosediving into the ditch. The embankments were 4-5 feet tall. I had two very hard front end impacts and hit my head on the steering wheel twice. The frame of the vehicle was bent and there was a lot of damage to the under of the vehicle, but the airbags did not deploy. The vehicle has been deemed a total loss by my insurance company. I have a lot of concern with the fact that the airbags did not deploy and know that there were other vehicles of my year and type that did have faulty airbags recalled, but mine has not been.

53 Air Bag Not Deploy problem of the 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Failure Date: 08/29/2013

My daughter traveling at approximately 55 mph, saw car in front of her stopped at a stop light. She attempted to slam on the brakes, it felt as if she was not stopping at all. She hit the stopped car, pushed both of our cars through the intersection to the other side. Her airbag did not deploy, onstar did not contact her. The reason I bought this specific car was for the onstar in case of a collision or emergency. When I contacted onstar later, they reported they did not receive notification that a collision had occurred. I contacted gm to have brake, airbag, and onstar failure investigated. Received report from gm investigator stating no failure in airbag system, that the crash was not significant enough to cause airbag deployment and onstar notification. She was traveling 45 mph upon impact (per cdr). The car was totalled - over $13,000 damage. If a crash at 45 mph, rear-ending, car totalled does not deploy airbags it seems as though something is wrong.

57 Air Bag Not Deploy problem of the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Failure Date: 05/30/2013

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.

68 Air Bag Not Deploy problem of the 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Failure Date: 01/30/2012

When I started my car, I went to turn the ac on and there was beeping and the emergency brake, abs/stability, and a few other instrument panel lights come on. The overhead interior light comes on as well and the air will not blow out. The only way to get this to stop is to turn the a/c off or either turn it up to the highest level (5). If it is on 5 and I try to turn it down, the beeping starts and the lights come on. Sometimes it will just happen randomly even if I don't touch the air. Once while I was on the interstate doing 75 mph, it randomly happened and my car stalled and slowed down as if it were cutting off which scared me so badly because if my car had cut off I could have been in a serious accident, or even with it slowing down the way it did. My foot was on the gas driving and the car just started slowing out of nowhere. Also, the air bag light has come on and will not go off and the air bag has never been deployed. I love my truck so much, but am considering getting rid of it if I cannot get any assistance with getting it fixed because of my concern for my family's safety as well as other drivers on the road.
