2006 Chevy Equinox air bags did not deploy in my daughter's front crash accident. Her car was totaled. She hit a mailbox and in a spin on the driver's front side hit a telephone pole. She hit her head on the steering wheel and hurt her back. The rear windshield was also shattered and also had a back flat tire. I called our local GM dealer and they told me to call GM. She called GM but they got her upset and she in other words said there was nothing they could do about the air bags not deploying. In other words this is a defect of this model and they aren't going to do anything about it.

Vehicle involved in a one-auto accident - 2006 Chevrolet Equinox - hydroplaned and hit an embankment with the front end and flipped over. The air bag did not deploy. This is not the first time this vehicle has had an impact to the front bumper and the air bag has never deployed. Each time the front bumper had damage sustained which should have caused the impact the set the air bag off.
