On November 11,2000 I had a head on collision (not my fault) and the airbags didn't deploy. Then on Sept 1,02 we had a accident on interstate 95 that we totaled the Tahoe and the body shop called GM since the airbags didn't deploy again. Mr. Lattermere from GM callled me and told me over the phone after I describe the accident to him that, as he drew a picture on paper, "that the air bags shouldn't have deployed". I find it very difficult that a person can draw a picture and tell me this. I would like for your organization to inspect this vechile and retrieve the computer information and let me know what you think. GM sent an "indepedent" inspector out to do a report but I have nothing from him or GM on the finding. I have left messages for Mr. Lattermere to call me to no avail.
