We were driving down the road in Ohio when a F-150come out of another road and T boned me they had O cut me out of the car my neck was injured and my back still hurts and I have bad headaches now the air bags did not deploy but GM says I was not hit hard enough but I had several airbags in the car and none of them deployed and car was a total loss.I think it is pretty sad when U buy a vehicle for safety then you crash and the company has no care about you they just care about trying to say that nothing was faulty on there part but as we all know they have had several recalls on these cars since for faulty airbags.

I just noticed there was an airbag recall on my vehicle, I did not get notice of this recall. I was in a recent accident and everyone seem shocked that my airbags did not deploy due to the damages to my car. Additionally, I am having to add air to my tires weekly as soon as I add air then I get another warning that my tires need more air. The sensor did not respond as my onstar services did not get it to respond as the service is set up to do. I have changed climate from a cold(pa) to a warmer (ga) and still have the same problem.
