Air bags did not deploy in a 2004 chevorlet Malibu in 2 accidents. The first accident was on 8/29/05 in which I was T-boned by an SUV that ran a stop sign in which in court the SUV was found guilty. The second accident was on 1/8/09 in which my daughter gabrielle threadgill slid into the back of a huge van due to weather conditions and slid into the van going at least 30 miles per hour, no citation was given due to the ice. My daughter and I were both injured in both accidents due to the air bags not deploying.
I am a former state law enforcement officer with extensive safe driving techniques for over twenty years. I now work with ups and have extensive safe habits with this corporation. Today was a clear, cool and crisp day with no water or oil spots on the highway. My 15 month old was in her child restraint seat in the rear and I was in the driver seat. While coming to a stop my brakes locked up and the ABS did not work. The seat belt I was wearing did not work properly causing me to break my glasses as my head hit the steering wheel. The airbags failed to work also. There was extensive damage to my vehicle which was caused by the impact of running into the rear of a dump truck. Had the ABS and seat belt worked properly the accident could have been avoided by maneuvering my vehicle around the dump truck.
