The side impact airbags failed to deploy. I was ( T Boned) side impacted with such force to propel my my truck 90 degrees and into the ditch. I was wearing my seatbelt. The other driver was charged with the accident. I impacted the doorframe with my Lt. arm and chest, and my Left temple struck the window frame. The truck was totaled. As a result of the vehicular collision I suffered Pulmonary contusions, 3 broken ribs, a lacerated spleen, and omental lacerations. Had the side curtain airbags deployed my injuries would have been significantly reduced. This problem was noted in the accident report. Attached. I have not reported this to a dealer Geico has inspected the vehicle I reported to the the issue with the airbags. No warning lights or any other indication that the airbags were inoperable at any time in the trucks history. I am the first owner of this truck and it was well maintained. I was expected to get at least another 10 years service from the vehicle and maintained as so. I Have attached the accident report.

Silverado 1500 8-cyl

  • 38,500 miles
While city street driving my 2015 Chevrolet Silverado (approximately 38,500 miles) on 5/14/20 at varying speeds in normal conditions, the air bag warning light appeared. Upon subsequent drives (both highway and city streets), the air bag warning light again appeared. No passenger was sitting in the front passenger seat. The truck was brought to an authorized GM dealership on 5/21/20 to address the issue. Code boo81 was scanned and wiring checked. Dielectric grease was added to connector and power removed temporarily from passenger presence module. Technician noted the module "relearned" and road test showed no further issue. The power was reconnected. While highway driving on 5/26/20 at varying speeds in normal conditions, the air bag warning light again appeared. On subsequent drives (both highway and city streets), the air bag warning light would turn on then off. Additionally, 5 audible warning dings could be heard but no warning lights were seen. No passenger was sitting in the front seat. After bringing the truck into the same GM dealership on 6/2/20, the service advisor recommended the passenger presence module be replaced; however, there are no available passenger presence modules in the United States. Service advisor told me when the air bag warning light appears, no air bags will work in the truck. As of 6/4/20, I was assigned a senior advisor by GM to oversee my case. The truck remains parked at the dealership as it's currently unsafe to drive. No one has been injured as a result of this issue.
