We were traveling North bound going about 60 mph on hwy 99 just North of sacramento. An ambulance cut in front of us and slowed down. The right front of the 2001 Chevy Venture struck the left rear end of the ambulance. The air bags did not deploy my daughter injured her hand and legs. I injured my sternum, bruised my stomach, and injured my right leg. We do have pictures showing that the air bags did not deploy.
I have a 2001 Venture with an airbag light that occasionally comes on. Dealer says that it is a faulty sensor in the seat belt. Dealer and GM customer service both claim no responsibility for a defective SRS on a vehicle with less than 48,000 miles. I contend that the safety restraint system should last the life of the vehicle if it is not damaged due to wear or abuse. I contend that GM is liable if my SRS fails.
My daughter and I were involved in a collision at approx 65mph with a 24' flatbed trailer that detached itself from a vehicle headed the opposite direction. My van had severe frontal/right frontal damage. On star was notified upon impact-by the air bag deployment sensors-and dispatched ems for me. The driver, passenger and side air bags did not deploy. The on star system shows they did.
I was involved in a accident in my 2001 Chevrolet Venture. We where driving at a speed of 45 mph, when a car pulled out in front of us. We hit him broadside at 30-45 mph. Our vehicle then spun around and was hit broadside on the drivers side by another vehicle. The front nor the side passenger airbags deployed. Our vehicle was totaled.
