problem #3

Jan 162004

Trailblazer

  • miles
Losing control of my vehicle on icy pavement, vehicle slid off of the road, head-on into a tree. Drivers side and passenger side air bags failed to deploy. Serious injuries occured, which may have been lessened if the safety features we pay for actually work. Er doctors and state police were terribly annoyed, since there have been several reports of same failure in design. No response from dealer or manufacturer, as of yet !!!

The air bag did not deploy after being hit by another vehicle on the driver's side. Minor muscular injuries were sustained. The consumer contacted the manufacturer who stated that unless one was hit directly in the center, the air bags would not deploy.
