The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer. While the contact was driving 35 mph he crashed into another vehicle and then into a light pole which destroyed the vehicle; however, during the crash none of the air bags deployed. The driver and passenger were injured. No one was injured in the other vehicle. The vehicle was diagnosed by the dealership who stated that no failures could be found. There were no prior warnings. The current and failure mileages were 95,272 updated 03/30/10. According to GM, the notice on the dash readout stated the air bags deployed. Updated 06/30/10.
Started up truck to warm up after about 3 minutes heard bang and both front airbags had deployed for no reason. Prior to this had issue with intermittent dash board lights (battery, speed odometer, seatbelt and airbag lights) being on. GM refuses to cover because I did not take to "dealer". I took it to my local mechanic instead who could find no issue other than corroded grounds. Currently it is being repaired by my insurance company.
Slightly turned steering wheel to left to avoid another motorist in front of me. Attempted to straighten out the vehicle, vehicle over-corrected severely, unable to brake, vehicle slammed head-on into concrete highway barrier 45-60mph, air bags failed to deploy.

I was driving a Chevy Trailblazer rented from hertz on December 29, 2004. On highway 285 near mile marker 189.5, I encountered black ice on a curve. The vehicle started a 4-wheel drift into the oncoming lane. I attempted to avoid colliding with another vehicle that had spun out. The ABS did not work. There was no stability control. I struck an embankment and the vehicle flipped over. Although there was both frontal and side impact, no airbags deployed. It is my belief that the Chevy Trailblazer is inherently unsafe. There is no way this vehicle should have rolled over at the speed at which I was driving.
I was going between 25 and 35 mph I swrived to avoid a vehicle backing up that had missed a turn. I tried to streer back and lost control hitting a telephone pole head on. Airbags did not deploy neither did onstar. To this point nothing has been done to repair the failure as for my dad's Trailblazer thats a work in progress.
While driving 45 mph consumer's vehicle collided into another vehicle. Upon impact, both frontal air bags failed to deploy. Vehicle was towed to a garage. The consumer sustained a hair line fracture in the chest area.
