My 1995 chevrolet blazer was in a head on collision with a 4 foot tall cement flower pot. My blazer was going approx. 25 miles per hour at impact and made contact with the flower pot directly in the center of the car. The damage included pushing the bumper, grill, and radiator back into the fan and also buckling the hood. The insurance company totaled my vehicle, estimating about $7800. Worth of damage. The airbag never deployed. I contacted chevrolet about this problem and they told me that they "in their opinion the airbag was not defective because the car did not come to an abrupt stop". My question is how would they know what happened if they never asked how much damage there was or looked at the car or even asked me to send them pictures of the car? I think they just couldn't even be bothered. If the driver hadn't been belted in, she surely would have hit the windshield.

Had problems with engine stalls and occasional surging took car to firestone (auto mechanics) lafter talking with people who had similar problems thought maybe it was bad gas, changed to premium gas and used gas additive. Problem still persisted went to firestone had tune up, injectors cleaned. Problem came back the next day after I picked it up.went back had engine diagnostic check.they did not find anything couple days later problem cropped up again decided to make a appointment with dealer with reservation because I've taken it there for varios different problems, but before I made appointment had accident. Going down a city street with a slight hill approx thirty degree tilt engine stalled,when this happened brakes had very little or no response, steering became stiff . Only thing that seemed to work correctly was lights. Ran through stop sign as I was trying to push on brakes and turn, finally ending up hitting a telephone pole at about 5 to 7 MPH. Pole did not have much damage, airbag didn't deploy but had $8000 in front-end damage.told repair shop of cause of problem (engine stall)they found no problem. The morning after I picked up noticed stalling again. Took back to shop, they found egr valve bad and replaced (4/11/01)recieved recall notice 8/01 on egr valve called chevy for compensation for insurance deductible and for money spent in trying to locat problem.told me no because I didn't take to a dealer.took it there many times for other problems;fuel tank,windshield wippers window not working, back lock not working. Engine light now back on notice while idling car will occasionally surge then idle down rocking from side to side.what can I do to have chevy live up to "chevy tough" tired of run around just want my money back for serevices paid for and have my car fixed to where I feel safe I feel very fortunate that this didn't happen coming off a highway.what avenues must I pursue to eliminate this problem and get back monies spent including my insur ded
