This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Consumer involved in an accident, rearended another vehicle. Vehicle traveling at approximately 50 mph, and air bags did not deploy. Please fill in any additional information.
Vehicle was involved in a frontal collision at approximately 45 mph with another vehicle. Upon impact, both air bags failed to deploy. Dealer notified.
Owner applied brakes and the vehicle kept going and hit another vehicle. Upon impact, neither driver's side nor passenger's side airbags deployed. Dealer has seen vehicle.
Vehicle was cut off by another vehicle. Had to apply brakes (ABS) quickly, which failed to work. Vehicle then dove into concrete cover. Upon impact, the dual air bags failed to deploy. The seat belt jerked hard on driver, causing bruises. GMC file number 99-153-17801.
We contacted GMC customer service (victor johnson) and requested an investigation. GMC has now told us that since no one was fatally injured there will be no investigation. How can they do this" my wife has been injured - probably permanently- and we want to know why they did not deploy - as this was a direct frontal impact. I believe that the manufacturer has an obligation to us and is merely playing a game at this point. Is it in our best interest to hire an attorney on the matter or what should we do"
