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.
I was involved in a collision in my 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe where I rear ended a car. My vehicle was traveling 54 mph and the other vehicle was slowing to turn without blinkers or brake lights. My airbags did not deploy.
Driving in large parking lot approx 25 mph, light pole with concrete base was in blind spot as I was turning. Hit the concrete head on, $12,000 worth of damage to my truck, frame bent, front end replaced and the air bags failed to deploy. The dealer had no explanation other than the damage must have been in just the wrong spot. I went to the hospital with head and neck injuries.
I was drivineg on the freeway. The cruise control was set at 70 mph. It was raining I went through a puddle and the car hydroplaned and headed towrd the concrete median, it would not straighten and I hit the median head on. The airbags did not deploy.
While driving 50 mph, the consumer's vehicle was involved in a head on collision. Upon impact, the airbags did not deploy. The driver sustained severe head injuries and was taken to a hospital.
It had been raining slightly and as I attempted to use an exit ramp from the highway my antilock brakes failed I skidded and spun and ended up hitting the concrete barrier which did not make my airbags deploy even though the car hit hard enough to bend the frame of the front end by an inch and a half
While traveling onto on intersection another vehicle ran the red light and hit consumer's vehicle. Upon impact, dual airbags didn't deploy.dealership was aware of problem.
Hit by a red light runner (45/50mph) on driver's side, hit a second car, then a concrete post head on. Not one of the four air bags engaged at anytime. The car was totaled. I have documentation, pictures, police report, and have contacted Chevy, they have no clear response on why? if you would like more detail on injures or have any question please fill free to contact me. Thank you for your time, danielle hurst-stone.
Tahoe was traveling uphill on private gravel drive when hit by truck traveling downhill around blind curve. Truck was traveling at between 20 and 25 mph when it hit Tahoe. Both of truck's airbags inflated. My airbags did not inflate, and I hit the steering wheel with my stomach and chest.
Vehicle was involved in an accident while traveling at 50 mph when vehicle T-boned a vehicle crossing an intersection. Airbags failed to deploy. Dealership could not provide a reason for failure of airbags to deploy. The maufacturer indicated that the vehicle skidded 20 to 25 feet after impact and the air bag failed to deploy for this reason. The consumer disagrees.
