There's cracks surrounding my passenger airbag in my 2012 Silverado. These cracks are not only a manufacturer defect in design but are also a safety concern regarding the air bag deployment. Research has shown this is an issue that many others are having too with this model truck/SUV.

Recently I was involved in an accident that was a direct impact. At the time of this accident the seat belt did not lock nor did the air bags deploy. The speed from this accident was between 50-55 mph on the highway. At the rate of speed I was going before the accident and the fact that I had to slam on the breaks to begin slowing down one would have thought the seat belt would have locked but it did not and at the point of impact I was very surprised that the airbags did not deploy but yet the system indicated that it did and needed to be reset. However now that the vehicle is in process of being repaired I am being told that the entire airbag system has to be replaced along with the driver seat belt.

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado. While driving at 40 mph, the air bags deployed inadvertently. The contact was injured due to the force of the air bag deployment and required medical attention. No police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where an investigation was opened by General Motors, which indicated that the vehicle was in a roll over crash but the contact mentioned that the vehicle was not involved in a crash and the investigation was not consistent with what was experienced. The approximate failure mileage was 58,000.

TL-the contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 37 mph, all four side curtain air bags independently deployed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed that the ignition key was cycled over 5,000 times. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was unavailable. The approximate failure mileage was 37,000. Djr

While driving, a driver cut in front of me and literally slammed on their brakes. I was not at fault in the accident. My airbags deployed and caused significant injury to my head. The injury was not consistent with an airbag deployment in conjunction with me wearing my seatbelt. I was diagnosed with a severe concussion and many other ailments, balance dysfunction, memory loss, parasympathetic anomalies, etc. It seems impossible the airbag deployment could have caused such significant injury considering the low speed of the crash correlated with proper seat belt utilization.
