The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Colorado. While driving at an unknown speed, the contact suffered a seizure and passed out. She crashed into a tree and the air bags failed to deploy. She sustained knee, chest, head, and facial injuries. A police report was filed. The Chevrolet dealer referred the contact to GM, where she filed a claim. The failure mileage was 31,000.
Front end collision on freeway at about 20-30 miles per hour when driver ahead stopped suddenly. Applied brakes and they failed to work... truck did not stop. Truck is totaled (happened on 9-26-07 - preliminary estimate of insurance adjuster). In addition, the driver air bag did not deploy, even though front end damage was extensive. Seat belt protected the driver from serious injury. The brake light recall notice I received was acted on and a dealer did fix it recently.
Air bag not functioning properly. The light blinks upon start up and then turns off, about 30 seconds to 1 min later it comes back on and stays on. Chevy will not look at it because im over 36K miles.
I was traveling on spruce road in exeter, ca at approx 55 mph when I rear-ended a car that was stopped. I did not have time to hit my brakes or swerve at all. I hit the back of the car very square and hard. The chp officer said that my air bag sensors were hit and the bags did not go off.
