I rear ended someone going 45 mph and my air bags did not deploy and I do not understand why. This was a frontal crash and from all the literature I have read, it indicates that the airbags should have deployed.
While slowing from a speed of 45 mph the vehicle's air bags deployed. The consumer tried to control the vehicle as the air bag was blocking her view. The vehicle came to a stop in a ditch. Two witnesses assisted the consumer. The consumer stated that there was no collision until the air bag deployed.
The front air bags inadvertently deployed.. no collision prior to air bag deployment, slowed to stop, approximately from stop sign. Air bag deployed, vehicle skidded into a ditch.
The consumer was sitting at an intersection and without warning, another driver ran a red light and hit the driver head on at the intersection. The frontal air bags did not deploy. The consumer and passenger sustained head a neck injuries and was transported by ambulance to the hospital. The vehicle was towed and totaled by the insurance company. Please fill in additional information.
Car was stopped about 2 feet from wall. Foot slipped off brake allowing car to roll forward, causing it to bump wall. Air bags deployed and passenger side air bag busted windshield. Parts/service manager at our local General Motors dealer removed bumper and inspected, and he saw no reason why air bags should have deployed. Also, there is no visible damage to vehicle other than air bags deploying and busted windshield. He contacted General Motors and reported this. They refused to do anything about it and they also refused to send an inspector.
Had trouble with traction light. Car would lose traction even with new tirew all time brakes and car was totaled in car wreck, airbags did not come out, and daughter was hurt. It was a front and side and back hit at 55-60 mph, hitting a ramp direct and bouncing off, and hitting again on an interstate. Very upset that airbags did not come out, would of prevented maybe daughter from getting hurt so badly.
While driving on local street traveling about 20mph, vehicle swerved to avoid hitting a cat on the road, and hit a parked car in the street. Upon impact, neither airbag deployed.
While traveling at 30 mph vehicle crashed into a tree head-on, and there was no deployment of the driver's side or passenger's side air bags. The vehicle has been totalled.
