Air bags not deploying on a new Chevy Silverado pick-up/ following a vehicle crash. Driver was injured, and scarred. Was hospitlized and still having problems and will have a lifetime scar on face area. Also legs and thighs are scarred. Our son was traveling at a high rate of speed passing, lost control went off highway head on into deep ditch, flipped over, went side to side coming to rest sideways on tires that were now flat and still no airbag deployment. Sent a complaint and pictures, police report and medical records to GM, no satisfaction from there. What does a vehicle have to have done to have an airbag deploy"??" vehicle was totaled. Son is permantly scarred, and parents have lost faith in Chevy trucks, and airbags. His older brother co-signed so he would have a "new, safer" vehicle and am now so very upset with GM as to an explanation as to why these air bags did not deploy to protect our son. This vehicle (he was speeding passing) went off the road head on into a deep ditch, overturned several times, hit side to side in ditch, flattened tires and came to rest on shoulder of road. Now how much more does it take to deploy an air bag"??" I think if we were wealthy and could afford a lawyer they maybe would of listened and checked this more, but as we are just "common" hard working us citizens, we don't really count. Also our son was drinking at the time of the incident, ( should not matter to safety of vehicle equipment) I was told it was not "catastropic enough" of an accident to warrent any damages. ?? then they tried to say the "accident" (meaning vehicle) wasn't. I think we all know what they meant. We were not looking for "millions" (stretching it), just his medical bills and the problem corrected in other Chevy's so this would not happen to someone else. As usual the honest people, and hard working middle class can get no help. Prayers go out to anyone else this has happened to and that it won't happen to someone else's child.
