Side/window Air Bag Problems of Chevrolet Trailblazer - part 2

My airbag has malfunctioned. The light remains on and I was forced to have it repaired even though many other models of my vehicles were under a recall on both frontal and driver's side airbags. My VIN# didn't apply but was showing all of the problems listed under the other models recall. It was about $450 to replace the malfunctioning coil which I had done at the chevy dealership.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer. While driving approximately 20 mph, the side window curtain air bags spontaneously deployed. The dealer could not determine the cause of the failure, but hypothesized that the contact must have driven over something in the road or was driving on two wheels. There was no physical damage to the vehicle and no indicators of a rollover or a crash. She called the manufacturer and they referred her back to the dealer. The dealer still has possession of the vehicle. The failure and current mileages were 800.

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.

After returning from a business trip. I started my car at the airport, and the second that I turned the ignition the drivers side airbag deployed. I took the car into the dealer the next day to get it fixed. After looking at it dealer said the repairs would cost $1500, and that because the car is out of warranty gm would not be able to pay for the repairs. After calling the gm customer service line, they told me the same thing, that I should take my complaint to the bbb. After that conversation I decided to pay to have the repairs made, and then have the bbb arbitrate the situation. But on the following Tuesday June 20, 2006. The dealer called and said that gm would not provide him with needed technical support to diagnose why the airbag deployed for no reason. He said that until I agree not to sue them over this, they will not provide the needed information to help fix my car. I do not feel this is right.

: 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.

I was traveling northbound approximately 30 mph on a dry paved two lane road in my 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer LS equipped with side impact airbags. I was hit (t-boned) by a Mini van traveling approximately 30-35 mph traveling the wrong way on a one way street with a blind intersection. Impact was directly in my front passenger side door, pushing the front passenger seat inward against the center console, rolling up the floorboard, breaking the hinges of the rear passenger side door, ultimately flipping my vehicle over onto the drivers side and pushed approximately 10 feet into the intersection, causing my drivers side mirror to roll into the drivers side, and shattering the drivers side window. Other undercarriage damage was also caused do to the impact. Failure: my 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer is equipped with side impact air bags. Passenger side airbag failed to deploy, despite major damage as result from direct impact to passenger side front door. Drivers side airbag failed to deploy despite impact from rollover onto drivers side, resulting in moderate damage. Consequences: if a passenger would have been seated on passenger side serious injuries if not fatal injuries would have resulted due to amount of intrusion of passenger front door into the passenger compartment with no srs protection. Driver of vehicle sustained minor injuries from being "tossed" against drivers side interior front door area with shattered glass. As the owner of vehicle, I contacted Chevrolet directly and filed a report, I was advised that I would be contacted within 2 business days to gather further information to conduct an investigation. It is officially past 2 business days and I have heard nothing from Chevrolet. Vehicle total loss due to damage via insurance.
