problem #1

Sep 082001

Bravada 4WD

  • miles
SUV T-boned in driver door at estimated 40mph. Side air bag failed to deploy even though seat was ripped from its mooring. On star system did not activate to signal 911. In addition the right front tire opposite the accident rolled off of the rim. Is this normal? on at least four occasions since purchasing the SUV the front passenger seat belt locks while stopping and will not release. Must unbuckle and retract before it can be extended.
