I have after market seats in my 2005 Chevy Trailblazer, I've seen a recall on your site so I called GM and they ran my VIN to check if it involves my vehicle, however they state it doesn't involve mine. I have stated that my service air bag light keeps coming on "blinking" and I do have the leather seats. This is the website with the cloth seats.... www.motortrend.com/cars/2005/Chevrolet/Trailblazer/photos/interior/cockpit.html and here is the recall from your site www-ODI.NHTSA.dot.gov/owners/searchresults.action?searchtype=prod&prodtype=V&targetcategory=a&activetab=0&searchcriteria.model_yr=2005&searchcriteria.make=Chevrolet&searchcriteria.model=Trailblazer&searchcriteria.prod_ids=204821 report receipt date: Oct 31, 2006 NHTSA campaign number: 06V417000.

I was in an accident where another driver pulled out in front of me crossing oncoming traffic. I hit him broadside doing approximately 30-35 miles per hour. My front end was nearly shoved all the way up to the windshield. My 2005 Trailblazer was totaled. My airbag did not deploy and if it wasn't for my seatbelt I would have went through the windshield the impact was so hard. I sustained a hurt shoulder and arm and probably wouldn't had such a painful injury if the airbag had of deployed.

According to NHTSA campaign id number: 06V417000 and GM recall no. 06102 my vehicle should be included in this recall. When I tried calling the number listed 1-877-477-1022 it is a non working number. When I contacted Chevy customer service the person I spoke with was rather rude and not helpful.

My daughter had an accident on 12/16/2008. She has(had) a 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer ls, 2 wheel drive SUV. While driving on the Ohio turnpike during a snow storm she lost control and had a head on crash with a cement retaining wall while traveling between 25 to 35 miles per hour. The air bag did not deploy during the accident and she slammed hard into the steering wheel resulting in a concussion, chest injuries, sore wrist, dizziness, and still has ringing in one ear. She did have her safety belt on at the time of the accident and always wears it. We are baffled as to why the air bag did not come out as it would have save her much pain. The car is a total wreck as described by the Pontiac dealer that her insurance company towed the SUV to for repairs. The Trailblazer sustained much damage such as a bent frame, broken transmission, all of the motor mounts and the transmission mounts broke loose from the frame, bent steering wheel, and all parts from the engine forward are either gone or bent beyond repair. With this violent of a crash no one has been able to tell us why the air bags did not deploy. We bought this SUV used from a Chevy dealer in July of 2005 and it had around 8000 miles on it at that time. I would like to know if there is some way of checking the functionally of this air bag to see if there may be a possible problem with it. Her crash was head on and in my opinion violent enough to activate the driver side air bag. Any suggestions as to what we should do?
