Silverado 3500

  • 61,752 miles
The contact owns a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado. While driving 30 mph, the contact struck a deer and swerved into a ditch. His chest slammed into the steering wheel and was injured. The air bags failed to deploy and the seat belt did not retract. The driver's side bumper was crushed into the front grill all the way across to the passenger side of the vehicle. The contact called the insurance agent, but no police report was filed. He was the only occupant in the vehicle and the seat belt was worn properly at the time of the crash. There was no maintenance performed on the air bags or seat belt prior to the failures. The contact filed a complaint with GM concerning his air bags and seat belt (complaint number 71-670143505). GM is not taking responsibility for the air bag failure. In addition, no one came out to inspect the vehicle. The failure mileage was 61,752.
