Trailblazer

  • 30,400 miles
I was operating my 2006 Chevy Trailblazer when I slide on slippery pavement due to freezing rain. My vehicle began turning sideways then straightened out and bumped the left side curb parallel with my tires. Only the left side tires struck a 4" curb. Both right and left side curtain air bags deployed. The left one hit me in the side of the face and left shoulder. The impact with the curb could not have been at more than 10 mph. There is no damage done to my vehicle, the step bars, mud flaps and/or even a scuff mark on either of my tires. No one else was in the vehicle with me. Thank goodness my 1 yr old and 8 yr old daughters were not. This air bag deployment would have caused injuries to my daughters not a bump to a 4" curb. I have been driving for over 17 years and have only have one accident. I drive for a living and now I am terrified to take my girls in my vehicle. My car is not fixed and I have requested GM to do an inspection on the vehicle. Time will tell but I believe in safety but not in the name of failure.
