1 Air Bag Not Deploy problem of the 1996 GMC C2500

Failure Date: 11/18/2006

Was involved in an auto mobile accident hitting a school bus head on and hit by a truck in the passenger's side bed of truck, going about 40 miles an hour. My airbag did not deploy and I hit my head on the steering wheel very hard. I believe if the airbag and seatbelt had worked properly, I would not have been injured so bad. Because of the burning in my legs, badly bruised ribs. Etc. , they did not do any eegs. I have had a variety of problems from severe headaches to uncontrollable moodswings. I am hoping you do whatever it takes to keep your customers from experiencing what I have been dealing with; like being disabled from work at the age of 38. I would also like to note that the police report said the airbag did deploy, but we still have the vehicle to prove that it did not deploy.

Failure Date: 08/02/2003

Driving on highway in the evening road was wet due to earlier rain, traveling at 60-65 mph, when another car passed us and changed lanes erratically which caused the need to slow down. Upon engaging the brakes the abs failed to work, and vehicle's rear end lost traction and slid into next lane of traffic, then hit guard rail and spun truck around and hit bridge guard rail on opposite side, causing truck to startle and ride concrete bridge median and finally coming to rest in grass median. Both the driver and passenger air bags failed to deploy causing minor injuries to both occupants. Needless to say truck is totaled.
