Problems with car began immediately (transmission, air conditioner, odometer, window motor, car shifting abruptly, and skidding on any wet service.) finally went into 20 ft skid, wheels locked, no response to steering. Car hit pole. Airbags did not deploy, seat belts did not lock. Car totaled.
I had a head on collision with a concrete wall in my 2005 Chevrolet Equinox on December 15, 2007. I was traveling about 55-60 mph when the head on collision occurred. My airbags did not deploy. However the talc power and the smell came out. I had an investigation done on the airbags. I was told by a GM investigation rep that the vehicle has to slow down 10-15 mph for the airbags to deploy. The investigation showed that the vehicle slowed down $11.85 mph which falls within the range for the airbags to deploy. I need a second opinion because GM stated that despite what the report says, they are not at fault for the airbags.
