I struck a vehicle that broadside when he ran a stop sign. I was going approximately 30 to 35 mph when I struck his vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. I was taken away in an ambulance and had damage to my cervical spine, stomach and mid spine. I did inquire where I had the vehicle repaired, about $8K in damages, about why the airbags didn't deploy. They said they didn't know but checked and said the airbag system was functioning? I see many such "stories" about Trailblazer airbags not deploying on this site. It really be nice to see something done about this situation. This vehicle has been in several wrecks and the airbags have never deployed!!!!! note, I have written to Chevrolet/GM about this issue but don't really expect them to respond! some support from the NHTSA would really be appreciated and is needed before anyone else get hurt when the airbags don't deploy!

GM ignition switch recall needs to be expanded. My mother purchased a 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer new. Approximately 5,000 miles into ownership, the car would "drop" various electrical components while driving down the road. For instance, while driving, the engine would continue to run, but the wipers would stop working, HVAC would turn off, air bag and ABS warning lights would illuminate, etc. Dealer had no idea how to fix. Eventually they replaced the ignition switch and the problem was solved. To my knowledge, GM never issued a recall, but I'm sure the issue is not isolated. These switches were unreliable across several vehicle lines, please investigate gmt 360 platform well.

I was in a car accident, where I was traveling at about 35 mph. An aggressive driver speed around me and cut me off and than stomped on this brakes in front of me. Due to that I swerved to miss him clipping his right back light ad bumper with my left headlight and bumper. As I was swerving I hit a tree just about dead on with my ar. The majority of the impact occurred just about 6 inches to the left (if looking at the car) of the center of the front of the car. I hit the tree at a speed of about 28-30 mph. After initial impact I was rushed to the hospital due to unconscious and facial contusions. During the first moments after the accident, one of the first things officers, emts and witnesses said was "I can't believe the airbags didn't go off". in the recent days after the accident I have had several mechanics and such appraise the car, the one common theme they all share is that they suspect there might not be an airbag where it belongs. Or the lack there of.
