The contact owned a 2017 GMC Sierra denali. The contact stated that while driving at 65 mph, he briefly fell asleep. As a result, the vehicle left the roadway and collided with the exit median, coming to a complete stop after careening into a side ditch. The air bags did not deploy, and the seat belt failed to properly retrain, resulting in head and neck injuries. No warning lights were illuminated. A police report was filed, and injuries were reported. The contact was transported to an area hospital by emt and treated for various lacerations to his head and arms and an unstable fracture of the c7 in his lower neck, later requiring surgery. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard and deemed a total loss by the contact's insurance provider due to a bent chassis. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and they inspected the vehicle, concluding that the impact was not sufficient to trigger air bag deployment, estimating that the vehicle was traveling between 1 and 4 mph and that the air bags were functioning properly. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 32,000.
Only have 18,820 miles on our truck and the airbag light is on. Shouldn't have issues with airbags on a truck that's barely driven.
Had major head on collision and the air bags did not deploy.
