I WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH. DOING 35 MILES AN HOUR. THE AIR BAG NEVER DEPLOYED AND I TEE BONED THE OTHER VEHICLE.
RECALL WAS ISSUED AND A LETTER WAS SENT TO ME, WE HAVENT DRIVEN THE SUV FOR THE PAST 18 MONTHS BECAUSE OF THE GASOLINE SMELL WHEN WERE SITTING IN IT, AND IT WAS LEAKING GAS, WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT FIXED BUT CANT AFFORD IT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 OLDSMOBILE BRAVADA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A SECOND VEHICLE CAUSING SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END. DURING THE CRASH, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUFFERED AN INJURED RIGHT KNEE AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SUFFERED A HEAD AND NECK INJURY. BOTH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION.

WHEN I TURNED THE KEY TO START THE CAR, MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. I REPORTED THIS TO GM. GM REFUSED TO SEND ANYONE DOWN TO INSPECT THE BRAVADA TO SEE WHAT MADE THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. GM STATED IT WOULD COST TOO MUCH MONEY TO FIND OUT. I WANT TO PREVENT ANYONE FROM GETTING KILLED. I OR MY PASSENGER OR BOTH WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE I HAD BEEN DRIVING. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR
WHEN I TURNED THE KEY TO START THE BRAVADA, BOTH AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AT THE SAME TIME. DRIVER AIR BAG STRUCK ME ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF MY FACE CAUSING BURNING SENSATION AND REDNESS. *TR
