On DECEMBER 14th 2021 while traveling on interstate 90 from Hardin Montana to Billings Montana I hit a large granite boulder that had fallen off of a semi, I had my cruise control set where I always set it at 77 mph. The boulder was around 500 lbs and was roughly 30 inches tall by 24 wide. It launched my truck in the air and I flew about 17 to 20 feet before touching down. I impacted the boulder just to the right of center of the bumper and it tore everything from the bumper to the firewall. Extremely violent impact and I hit my head on the sun visor and chin on the steering wheel. Not one of the airbags deployed. The first person on scene was Montana Highway Dept employee who was one minute behind me. He and myself as well as the responding highway patrol were shocked that the airbags did not deploy. Since that accident I have had multiple things wrong with my neck my knees as well as my hips and back. Im pretty sure Im messed up for life.

I bought this 2014 Silverado new. The headlights are fogging up on the inside which makes it unsafe to drive at night. Also, the steering wheel is coming apart around the air bag, which may get in the way of me safely steering it or might cause the air bags to deploy.this vehicle is stored in a climate controlled enviroment every day. It does not sit outside, so the sun had nothing to do with this. I contacted GM and they said they would'nt help me. Please help as this is a safety issue not being able to see at night. Thanks. This vehicle only has 26000 miles on it. I own several GM vehicles, but this is the only one I have had trouble with.

Takata recall- since we first purchased the unit, we have been having problems with it. It first started with with suspension and the wheels, it was doing an awful lot of shaking in the interior and also causing the tires to ware out quicker. Now the airbags are not functioning correctly, we keep getting messages on the dash to service the problems but we I take it to the dealership they keep saying nothing is wrong and to not worry about it, but I am a mother of 2 small children and I am worried.
I hit a pole. Had a minor accident. Was able to drive away as I drive down the road, my airbags deployed while I was driving. All of the airbags. Nearly causing me to run off of the road. Because they deployed I suffered bruising. They did not deploy when I had the minor accident, but about 30 minutes afterwards.
